Do You Limit Your Power?

The only limits of power are in the boundaries of our beliefs. Our beliefs are the most powerful leading forces that effect our behaviour and leadership. The statement "You change you life when you change your mind" is saying when you shift your beliefs you are likely to shift your life.

Your beliefs either empower you and push you forward or they hold your back in life and take away your power.

What really is a belief and how did we come about them? A belief is something that we accepted to be true or real. Now we may not know for certain that it is true we just believe that it is and therefore we have formed our belief system. We mentally accept that it is true and then carry on in our daily habits that it is true. We build confidence around the belief in the truth as we know it and we can even convince others in our belief as well. We will base our experiences around our beliefs.

Think about some of the beliefs that others have convinced us of because they were confident in their belief. "Men should be at work not at home with the kids." "Women are not reliable CEO's because they should focus on their family." How about this one "Women should not be vice president" or "Black men should not be president". One of those two beliefs is about to shift. One way or another we will have a black president or a woman vice president. What about our traditions? How we celebrate traditions in our family are they conscious or are they a subconscious beliefs. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving the same way your parents did? How about Christmas? Did you adjust to share beliefs with your spouse? Did you create your own traditions? Will your kids do it your way because you tell them this is the way it is to be done?

Today how about assessing your beliefs and ask yourself if your beliefs are from your parents, community, education, religion or your very own. Ask yourself some conscious questions.
Do my beliefs empower me or do they limit me from moving forward?
Do my beliefs support me in risk taking?
Do my beliefs support my family in moving forward?
Do my beliefs allow me to enjoy the work I do?

Now that you have started asking and assessing your beliefs is it time to make a shift in your life? Transform what you once believed to be true to the possibility that you could view your belief a little different. Maybe not so much confidence in the belief yet more confidence in you empowering new possibilities in your life.

The four areas of our lives to create balance in are Physical, Mental, Emotional and Financial. So how are you prepared to transform your life in these areas?

Are you physically fit to manage transformation? Do you exercise regularly? Do you get enough sleep? Do you eat a healthy diet that gives you steady energy?

Are you mentally fit to manage transformation? Do you routinely sharpen your mental skills? Do you learn new things in business and personally? Are you open to new ideas? Do you get involved with discussions in business and in your community?

Are you emotionally fit to manage transformation? Do you continually work on cleaning up the past hurts? Do you get clear with relationships that you still have energy with? Do you heal the wounds of your past where you felt hurt? Do you let negative remarks beat you down or do you let them be feedback and look to see if it would serve you to make a shift or not.

Are you financially fit to manage transformation? Are you living paycheck to paycheck or above your means? Are you enjoying your job or business or do you dread going to work everyday? Could shifting how you look at work improve your paycheck? Do you have money in savings? Are you tithing?

Transforming your consciousness around your beliefs is the first step to making shifts in your life. When you focus on your belief "Shift Happens"!

Are you ready to make some shifts?

(Note: The word Transformation creates a sense of moving forward and excitement in life. The word Change creates a sense or hard, dread and resistance.)

Are you ready to transform your beliefs and use your power in making choices that will move you forward?
