Limited

I act like I have this vast understanding of everything.

I act like I know exactly how to untrap my mind.

I act like I have it all together.

I don’t.

It always makes me think harder about the things I tell myself when I am given a different way of looking at things than what I know. Today I felt that. I was basically told that the only thing that is holding me back from taking the next step is me.

For someone who is afraid to jump, it is not the idea of not being able to swim that holds them back, it is the fear of leaving the ground beneath their feet.

The ground beneath me is familiar. I know it well. It is secure. I always have a fallback option.

But what if I did jump?

I know I could swim. I know I could find new land to stand on. I would be back up in no time, maybe in bigger and better places. But the fear of that jump, that simple little free fall is what keeps me in place.

ONCE I _____… THEN…

Why do we always make contingencies for ourselves?

Is it just a way of justifying not taking action?

If you always waited until the right time to do something, you would never end up doing it. Because there is no right time. There will never be a time in your life where all the stars will align and it will be perfect. You have to create circumstances where it is right and just go for it.

THE LIMITS OF WHAT YOU CAN OR CAN’T DO ARE DETERMINED BY YOU.

Limits don’t exist just because, they exist because somebody put them there. An expectation of what is and isn’t possible was formed over time and it created the limit. The only way to change this limit is by rewriting the narrative of what is and isn’t possible.

Break down those limits.

The thoughts you tell yourself inside your head are what’s holding you back, nobody is telling you that you can’t except for you.

Untap your potential by untrapping your mind.

Break down the mental barricade.
