Most of us do not see how previous experiences affect our ability to set and reach worthy goals. It is really quite important to understand the influence our experiences have over all we think and do.
Some of these experiences boost our confidence and increase our ability to achieve. Others influence into a negative mindset, hindering us from working towards a goal. In all cases these experiences affect how well we do when setting and working towards a new goal. The purpose of this post is to help you identify and get rid of self-limitations.
Some of us go through life dragging these anchors around. It slows us down, impacts our ability to react to the changes in our life and it certainly weighs you down when trying to work towards new goals. Releasing yourself from these weights will enable you to move quicker and succeed more easily.
These anchors take many shapes perhaps what’s holding you back are past hurts, past failures, past resentments, anger or fear. Yet letting go of those anchors could be what you need so that you can fly into the future.
Have you allowed past failures to slow you down in achieving new successes? Have you remembered a friend telling you that you and idea was stupid, or you will never achieve a goal? Do you remember the teacher at school who told you, you were an idiot and could not do anything anyway?
What about your parents? Did they always encourage or discourage you? Did they support you with your school activities and sporting endeavors or did they show no interest?
What have you allowed those people to do to your confidence in moving forward and achieving new successes? Have they kept you back because you remembered what they said about you? Do your memories of anger, resentment and desire for revenge make you waste valuable energy that could be used to better effect in attaining success?
It’s important to move forward in your life with love and forgiveness. Forgive those who have held you back, hurt you, lied to you, or stolen from you. Letting go will release all that negative energy and will provide you with new-found momentum to excel in life and attain successes that you might have never thought possible.
Best way to realize this release is to actually write down all the people you need to forgive (including yourself). Work on each of these hurts/failures/disappointments until you are able to forgive them.
Negativity can be unbelievably draining and in many cases can even be harmful to your health. The new-found energy found as you release the past will amaze you.
Yet forgiving somebody and letting go of hurts and resentments is one of life's biggest challenges. Especially when we feel that someone has hurt us, made us lose our confidence, and contributed to our inability to succeed in life intentionally.
We must realize that it is not the people who have hurt us that are holding us back from earning the successes we deserve. Rather, it is the fact that we allow those experiences to hold us back. For your own sake forgive the people who have hurt you. It will clear the way to personal achievements you would not otherwise even dream of reaching.
