Why We LIMIT Ourselves!

🌟 We limit ourselves more in what we think we CAN do versus what we ACTUALLY CAN do. 🌟

There’s one BIG reason why we do this (and it’s not just Fear):

🌟 We base our limitations on the people around us. 🌟

No, I’m not saying you intentionally limit yourself or try to copy other people! What I’m saying is we are heavily influenced by our environment and the people within it regardless! 👍

Say you have a close friend. But as you talk with other people you notice how often you use your friend’s mannerisms and phrases. You’re not doing it on purpose; it’s like they “rubbed off on you”, right?! 😅

To give a personal example: I have a distinct laugh that everyone tells me comes from my dad. I have “my dad’s laugh”. I’ve never intentionally tried to laugh like him. But for all the time I spent with him as a kid, his laugh “rubbed off on me” (and maybe a dash of genetics too)! 😂

As Jim Rohn put it: “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”

To add, this does NOT mean you should suddenly start getting rid of the people or things in your life you believe are “limiting” you! This is simply a reminder about the power of self-awareness and your environment. 🙌

🌟 Having self-awareness is NOT the same as judging a situation. 🌟

With greater self-awareness, the clearer focus we all can have on what our limitations are and where we can take the next steps forward! ❤️
