The limitations are inside of your head. For the most part.
I’m not saying that EVERYTHING you want you can have, exactly when you want it and in exactly the way you want it. What I am saying is that once you make the decision, the main thing holding you back is you. The obstacles you perceive are mainly that: perceived. My dad always taught me that perception is reality, and that has been such a valuable lesson to carry through life. So, in a sense, your obstacles are real. They’re just real as long as you perceive them to be real. Perception is the name of the game.
Think of it this way. Let’s say there’s a position you want at work, and you make that decision to do everything in your power to have that position. Let’s say it doesn’t work out. There are people in your way. There are policies you can’t get around. There are obstacles that simply cannot be overcome. Now what?
Simple: envision a new path to the destination. When we get stuck it’s often because of a lack of imagination or a stubbornness to give up what we thought would happen and look for the new path of what could happen. Are you resigned to being bitter about how things didn’t work out the way you planned? Or are you dedicated to finding a new path? You can still get there, to that original destination, but the path might take longer or wander someplace you didn’t want to go or require you to take on other tasks you wanted to avoid in getting there. Or maybe the destination was wrong all along. There’s always that.
We are limited by our child-like need to control the variables. Once we open ourselves up to the possibilities, the possibilities we perceive will increase exponentially. Our lack of creativity becomes irrelevant because what the Universe can present to us is far greater than anything we could imagine anyway.
The limitations are inside of your head.
