Totally Fulfilled
For example, I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat. I don’t care what religion you are. In most cases, you are what you are because of your parents or other influences you had growing up. Did you research what religion you liked as a child? When you first registered to vote, did you research which party you liked? Maybe. But in most cases, you chose the belief system your parents or other people taught you. So if your parents instilled beliefs in you such as, “Go to school and get a good job, because that is how you make it in life, and if you don’t you may not have anything,” then that could be an underlying limiting belief you have. Anything outside of that belief frightens you, and that belief may very well keep you in a job you dislike and at a level of income you hate. If your parents ran their own business at one point and failed, you may have inherited a limiting belief that makes you scared to death to try your own business, even though you have a strong desire to. If you had friends or important people in your life who had wonderful, caring, nurturing relationships with their spouses, you may feel one way about relationships. However, if you had parents or influential people who had horrendous relationships, or felt they were abandoned, or if someone you looked up to told you that relationships are impossible and that you should stay single forever, then you may be afraid of commitment and not know why. Your beliefs are guiding you like a puppet on a string. So think hard once again and determine the limiting beliefs you have in all areas of your life. Think of your experiences growing up that may still be affect- ing you today. As an adolescent, my limiting beliefs file was full. Luckily, I was able to chip away at each one month by month, year after year; I still find them and change them to this day. Having your mind filled with limitless beliefs and erasing limiting beliefs is not a one day practice. It’s an ongoing gift you can present to yourself. You can change your beliefs in an instant. You are what you focus on. You can truly have what anyone else has, once you believe
