The Martian ate my homework so I cannot go to school. Can you relate to that? I think a little bit yes.
How many times did you hear this small voice inside of your head telling you: I cannot do that because I am too old, I’m not good enough, I don’t have enough experience … I don’t have all that money ... all limiting beliefs, excuses or how do you want to call them. The truth is if you want to achieve your career, business or life goals at some point in your life you need to face all your “I can’t”.
As Marianne Williamson said: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”
You are powerful beyond measure and there is nothing else that is stopping you from achieving what you want other than yourself. Overcoming some limiting beliefs or I can’t take some time and today I would like to help you to do the first step to get rid of your excuses. Here is the challenge:
1. Write down the strongest “I can’t” which is stopping you from getting where you want to be in your professional or personal life
2. Change I can’t in I can. For example “I cannot do that job because I’m not good enough ” restate it in “I am more than enough for that job, I am ready to receive all new fantastic opportunities and possibilities”
3. Repeat your NEW belief until it feels natural to you. You can do this exercise with your friend or a person who you trust and ask her/him if your tone of voice sounds true. The fact is devoting just 5 minutes every day to do these exercises will move you far closer to your career or life goal than 20 minutes dwelling on I can’t …
If you are thinking about a career change, if you are facing a job interview or is there something that is stopping you in your business, this short exercises will help you to overcome those limiting beliefs and be ready for success.
Do NOT allow I can’t kill your dream!
