Breakthrough Your Limitations
Today you will learn how you can learn to beat your limitations.
Many people see limitations as something that is constant and unchanging. They see a concrete wall in which that cannot pass. This is the very reason that many people are leading unsatisfied and unfulfilled lives. It is also the number 1 reason that people are not living up to their full potential. Are you living up to your full potential? I can answer confidently that for you the answer is a resounding "NO!". (Otherwise, you would not still be reading this article)
Living beyond your current limitations is possible but only after you identify what those limitations are. There are only two types of limitations in your life. The first is a limitation imposed on you by another and the second type is a self-imposed limitation. These limitations may come in many different forms. They may be belief patterns that you have adopted throughout your life because someone in a position of authority or you admired told you they were true. Either way, you adopted these beliefs about yourself or your ability as truths that now govern your actions and decisions.
Another may be that of time. You may feel there is just not enough time to accomplish the things you think are needed to accomplish your goals. It may be the scheduling that is imposed upon you by your job or family responsibilities.
Finally, you may see a limitation regulated by resources; not enough money, not enough knowledge, not enough connections, etc...
To all of these things, I can speak only one word. Priority.
Does your desire to have something greater than you are currently expressing hold a greater priority in your life than the belief, restriction, or perceived lack that is holding you back?
Here Are 3 Steps That Will Allow You To Overcome Any Obstacle
1. Identify the area of dissatisfaction in your life and determine that you are going to make a change. Dissatisfaction is the birthplace of change. When you zero in on the very specific focus that has left you unsatisfied you are ready to move to step number 2. Do not go there until you can specifically identify the root of your limitation.
2. Make a list of the top five areas that you need to adjust your priorities in to feel satisfied in that area. You can do this by answering these questions honestly.
A. What habits do I have that monopolize my time? What habits can I replace them with to advance me toward my goal?
B. What disciplines do I have in my life that I can improve to free me to achieve success in this area? Are you taking care of your health by eating right, exercising, getting adequate rest?
C. Where is my focus? The focus or attention that you maintain will alter the direction that you go. When it comes to limitations it is summed up in this simple quote, "If you are focused on the limitation you will never see the potential."
3. Believe in yourself. This is a hard step because it requires you to think differently about yourself than you have in the past. Spend some time each day visualizing yourself doing and experiencing something that is beyond your limits. If you don't think you can run one mile, don't imagine yourself running two miles. Fully imagine the sounds, the smells, the sight of what it looks like as you are first to cross the finish line in a 20-mile race. Imagine the joy and exhilaration you feel as those that are dearest to you greet you with shouts of praise and encouragement. Make it so real you can taste the sweat! This is how you begin to believe in yourself greater than you have ever before.
When you believe in yourself you will begin to live like it. An amazing side effect of this is that others will begin to believe in you as well. When others believe in you they will stand by you and encourage you. This momentum created will push you past your limitations.
"To be in a different place, you
must be able to see what that place
looks like. Envision the lifestyle
you wish to have. Until you can see
it - you will not believe it and
until you believe it - you will never
receive it." -C. Nedland

7 Tips To Inspire Your Destiny and Life Purpose
Are you happy with your current situation in life? Your answers could range from yes, no, maybe; then you start pondering and have these strange thoughts that have been recurring every time you ask yourself this question. You sigh these thoughts out with well, sure, kind of, not really honestly, whatever...
You don’t know why or what is it, but you feel that there is something lacking. So you sit there, physically and emotionally exhausted, and wallow in self-pity because you cannot get out of that dark tunnel.
Just like that man in the story, what we need is a light at the end of that tunnel. That light could metaphorically speak to your purpose in life. You don’t know which direction to take or you’re scared from not knowing what lies ahead of you? Maybe what you actually need is a beacon of light, a purpose, to inspire and motivate you not just to move forward but to actually do a significant change in your life.
For some, finding their purpose is easy while for many, it is difficult and so they come away frustrated and dissatisfied. They cannot find their light. Sometimes however, one needs not to simply find it as you could create your own light.
You could use your own match or some friction to ignite that fire. Sometimes, it’s helpful to hear words of wisdom and advice from our ancient thinkers. What’s the best way to do that but to hear some from Socrates, the father of philosophy. Maybe his words could ignite a fire in your heart you never thought would be possible:
#1. Know Thyself
This basically means self-reflection, knowing your purpose starts with knowing yourself. It could serve as a means of awakening and discovering your inner soul, what is it saying, what does it want?
From there, it is possible to unlock the ways to live your life with meaning and a sense of fulfillment. Know yourself by asking these soul searching questions once in a while:
Why am I here?
Where do I want to go or to be?
What is my heart’s desires?
What do I want to change?
What can I do, what is my potential?
These questions would be helpful in assessing your passion and interest, and in turn, give you a direction in which road to take. Also, take notes of your answers and compare them to your previous ones in order to see the changes and developments.
When it becomes hard for you to answer these questions, you could seek help from others.
Having a little chat with some people who know you like your parents and friends could help you unravel some things about yourself.
#2. Think For Yourself
Sometimes, what makes it difficult for many to discover their inner souls is that they are denying themselves this self-knowledge. Aside from being difficult, self-knowledge could be painful to some.
As a young girl, you grew up with a passion for ballet and then people start telling mean things about your dancing, that you’re not really good. You’re hurt and so you hide your shoes away and play small even though you are dying to show the world what you can do. You think you are not talented enough, and you let others extinguish that fire.
There would always be a battle between wants and couldn’t. People will tell you what you couldn’t do but in order to have that purpose, to live that meaningful life, you should know that only you could say what you couldn’t do.
#3. Seeking To Become Better
As mentioned earlier, purpose cannot only be found but also created. It does not come easily to everyone and it could be a long and gradual process so you could start by wanting to have that significant change then seeking it.
Set your purpose, own it.
#4. To be is to do
#5. Be aware of the bareness of a busy life
For some, being busy equates to having your purpose in life. You have a busy job, you have children to take care of, or those sort of things that you write in your planners.
However, it would not hurt to take some days off, take a little break and just live in the moment. Busyness creates an illusion that you are living you’re life but there are actually more important things that you are missing on. Give yourself some time to reconsider the things you are doing in a daily basis.
#6. The unexamined life is not worth living
Others might be wondering, how would I know if this is really my purpose? Go back to tip 1, know thyself, and ask yourself those questions again. What more should you be doing everyday to bring you not just personal purpose but also affecting other people around you?
Your sense of purpose change from time to time and we cannot actually determine that your purpose at one time would be the same for another year or a decade.
Assess and evaluate your life if it’s exactly what you wanted it to be, and the rest is up to you.
#7. Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued
At the end of it, Socrates would ask us not just to set a life purpose but a good life purpose, a virtuous one which would also bring good to others.

Tony Robbins: A Story that Will Change Your LIFE
Tony Robbins story amazes me! Makes me wonder if he is driven to help people break free of limitations that hold them back, people like his dad whom he couldn't help at such a young age! What do you think?
7 Steps to Self-Fulfillment
Personal Success, Happy life, Personal Growth, Personal Success
In a busy world, it is very easy to feel as if you are unhappy or in need of self-fulfilment. Maybe you feel as if you do not have enough money, or your relationships are not where you want them to be. You may easily catch yourself wondering, “I just had this or that, I would be happy”.
The truth is, self-fulfilment cannot always come from material things.
Fulfilment is a mindset, and happiness is found when you can reflect and find contentment.
Here are 7 steps that you can take to feel more fulfilled and happy right now.
1. Surround Yourself with Positivity
A great deal of your happiness can be affected by your environment.
If you notice that you spend much of your time with people who have a negative impact on your mood or attitude, it may be time to branch out and connect with people who make you smile and push you toward positivity.
2. Visualize Success
Give yourself goals to reach, whether in your personal or professional life. Maybe you want to lose weight, go back to school for a higher degree, or drink more water.
Whatever you ware wanting to accomplish, you are most likely to be successful if you set tangible goals.
After you have set these goals, implement a plan to achieve them step by step, and spend time visualizing what it will take to be successful. Developing a clear vision for your goals makes them more realistic and tangible.
A great tool to help visualize your future and focus on your goals is a vision board.
3. Celebrate Your Accomplishments
When you achieve success and reach your goals, it is incredibly important to celebrate those wins and reward yourself in some way. Give yourself recognition for a job well done.
This can be done by going out with friends for the night, buying that one thing you have been holding off on, spending a day treating yourself or simply doing anything to celebrate that y
4. Take Charge
It is often too easy to put others in charge of your own happiness, such as a spouse or friend.
The truth is that you are completely responsible for your own happiness and fulfilment.
Instead of blaming other people or things for your lack of happiness, take the matter into your own hands and find ways to be fulfilled no matter what comes your way or how others treat you.
Being in charge of your own destiny and self can seem challenging, but is extremely rewarding.
5. Help Others
A great way to feel fulfilled is to share what you have with others. This can include time, money, or skills.
If you are using these resources to benefit others, you are sure to not only help them out, but you will add to your own happiness.
6. Take Care of Yourself
Even though it is great to help others, it is vital that you do not overlook your own needs. Give yourself rest when you need it. Lead a healthy and active lifestyle.
If you are taking care of yourself, you will be much more able to influence others around you and will feel happier overall.
7. Find the Good
While it may seem as if there is little to cherish in your life at times, you must look within and acknowledge the things that are going right. Find the situations and people in your life for which you are grateful, and focus on these.
Focusing on the positives will not only help you to feel a greater sense of fulfilment but will also allow you to identify the areas in your life where changes could be made.
Self-fulfilment does not happen in one day, it takes time and a conscious effort, but if you follow these steps and take action to change your daily rituals, you can become more fulfilled with the simplicities of your life.
Finding happiness in yourself will reflect on everything you do, I’d like to hear what brings fulfilment to your life. Comment below and I will be sure to follow up with you.
- Develop the powerful habit of using daily affirmations to help achieve your goals and dreams.
- Stay positive and more optimistic during inevitable setbacks, difficulties, and adversities.
- Keep your mind off of negative thoughts and what you don’t want in your life.
- Assert control over your thoughts, feelings, mind, and actions in every dimension of your life.
