Most of you have probably seen, or at least heard of the recent Hollywood movie, “Limitless,” what you probably haven’t really heard much about is how does one become “Limitless” in their own lives? This post we thought we would do just that.
First what cause “limits” in a person and why would anyone, in their right mind, place limits on themselves?
As to the “causes” of limits it really boils down to two major veins:
1. The conscious mind and its ability, or inability pending your point of view, to “Filter” our external worlds and creates a perception about our environment.
2. The subconscious mind, when simply bombarded with the same conscious thought energy creates a limit, or belief, based on the conscious mind’s perception and shazamm, you have limiting belief structure before you know it!
Then you ask, “Why would anyone limit themselves?” It happens everyday and some limitations are so subtle, most don’t know the limits are there until it is too late and a really block or habit has occurred in their lives.
Here are some of the reasons most often people allow and keep limitations in their world.
1. The limitation creates a “definable” world around them – Control.
2. Keeps one from having to “risk” themselves – Fear of failure or success!
3. Helps one from “growing” or having to “change” – Control and/or Fear
4. Allows one to become the “Critic” of others, while not having to get in the “Game”. - Risk, control, fear.
These are just a few of the “reasons” that we allow limits and limitations into our worlds. Perhaps you have noticed, that you may have more than one “reason” above and probably by now, you have even thought of a few more “originals” on your own! If you are like most, you probably intended on being a limitless person and like most, if you could “take a pill” not unlike the Hollywood hit “Limitless” you would do it today, wouldn’t you.
However, until that “magic pill” is invented we are going to have to just remove our own limitations and get free of our own devices.
Here are some great coaching questions, that I have found have ignited those ready to become limitless people and evolve into something more.
1. What do you really, really want?
When you read this, you will come up will an array of responses, however, narrow it down to just one item, thing, dream or event that you truly want to experience. Then ask yourself, “What am I afraid of in going after _____?” Sit for a moment and see what comes up from your subconscious; think you will be surprised!
2. What one thing, would you be willing to do right now, that would massively shift your life towards, what you really, really want?
Most of us, really don’t know what we want and once we identify it, we tend to “think” about it so much we forget, what it was that made us really want “it!” We tend to bog ourselves down in so much detail that we overwhelm ourselves and ultimately talk ourselves out of it and go back the “normal” everyday life. By the way, this is also what keeps us up and night “Thinking” about what we really want and why are not getting it!
3. How much time per day, per week and per month would you be willing to devote to your dreams and becoming a limitless person?
Stop for moment and notice how much time is wasted, which by the way is a limitation (excuse), watching TV, laying around, playing computer games or just online etc., imagine what you life could be like, if you took just an hour a day and devoted to writing that book, getting that new online business, going out to the beach for a walk with your lover, go out to a social event or whatever it is that takes one step a day, week or month towards what you really, really want and within a short period of time you will have what you want. What is equally more important, you will have learned how to identify your limits, deal with them and remove them to get on with you life and live your limitless dreams!
Until next posting,

P.S. – Here is a tip, write your answers to the above coaching questions and then put it down for twenty-four hours. Then come back and ready it and ask yourself again, while viewing your previous answers and notice if you still “feel” the same way about them. If not, then it is not what you really, really want do it again!
