You Don’t Have To Believe What People Tell You (WT773)
BlogMany years ago, a former boss of mine told me that I would never be successful because I didn’t have any vision.
For some reason I believed him about the vision.
It’s only been recently that I have experienced my own “Aha’s” around this limiting belief.
As I’ve been coaching people recently I’ve observed how often I can see their business model and a vision for them and their business and have done so with my clients for the past 18 years. Doh!
I’ve helped them gain so much clarity and then helped them to remove the resistance that is holding them back.
Clients have been hitting goals that have alluded them for years.
Now the reason I’m telling you this, is not to brag but to emphasise to you, that (and I’m going to put it in capital letters so you really get it), that
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU.
This is especially true when what they are telling you is their opinion about you and what is most likely not true, but could cause you to create your own Limiting Belief.
Remember, Beliefs are Decisions. They are decisions that we make at some point in time which then affect how we see and show up in the world.
The good thing about seeing Beliefs as Decisions, is that because you know how to make a decision, you can make another decision.
I’ve decided to forget what my former boss said to me because it’s not true. I do have vision and I can help you see yours.
I’m curious, what are some limiting beliefs that you’ve got that came from others’ opinions of you?
How about taking some time over this Easter break to reflect on what you were told and ask yourself whether you want to make a decision to ignore it or forget it.
My mum had a saying about opinions, “They’re like bums, everyone’s got one”.
Don’t let someone else’s opinion influence you in a way that keeps you small.
