What are your limiting beliefs?
My father is proud to say (about me): “I was the first one to know there was something wrong with you.”
My mother would contradict herself in two sentences: “You can do anything you want. You can’t do that with one good hand.”
My siblings and other family members were similar.
These thoughts of those closest to me during my childhood and adolescence created my biggest and most looming limiting belief:
“I’m not good enough, and there is something wrong with me.”
As an adult, I know beyond doubt that I’m good enough and quite capable of doing any and everything I want to do. To get to that point was a journey.
I had to build self-esteem, change my inner voice, and learn to see my capabilities instead of my shortcomings.
Another limiting thing that I had a hell of a time breaking was saying: Yeah, but… after any compliment aimed at me.
Today, my inner voice is sure in her worthiness and does not issue those deprecating thoughts nearly as often as I used to. And, I’m better at accepting and believing that compliment offered to me.
