Recognizing Limiting Beliefs

Beliefs drive attitude and behavior. Limiting beliefs will result in self sabotage, manifesting in attitudes and behaviors that will prevent you from having the life you want.
In order to have the life you want, you must first change the life you have! And doing that is impossible without a change in your belief system. Without this change, nothing else you do will lead to a permanent change. You may be thinking, I have tried changing my life but nothing happened. You may be trying to change the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, subconscious limiting beliefs.
Once accepted and imprinted into our subconscious mind, it takes a conscious effort to remove and replace these negative limiting beliefs with positive life enhancing beliefs. There are many ways to identify limiting beliefs and all require a conscious effort to be mindful of our thoughts, speech and action. To quote Gandhi: Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits.
It takes courage to want to change. Most people prefer staying in their comfort zones, even if they are unappy in them, because they lack the courage to examine themselves. They are afraid of what they might find out. There can be no change without self-examination. Many people find it frightening to do that. When you take the courageous step to do that, you'll find a lot of new possibilities opening up to you. You will feel empowered and in control over your life - and that will make all the difference!
Or you can just stay the way you are, joining the mass of men who lives lives of quiet desperation - to borrow a quote from Henry Thoreau. As they say, "Knowledge is NOT power; knowledge AND action is!"
