Do you Know your Limits?


If I asked you the maximum number of push-ups you could do?  You would probably answer a low number like 5, as push-ups are not there on your scale of important things to do. What about if you did your maximum of five and I said that you could rest for a while. Could you do another five after you had rested for a short while? Of course you could. If you kept doing five push-ups twice a day for a week, could you do 10 push-ups, by the end of the week? Yes of course you could, but hold on a second, I thought you said that the maximum number of push-ups you could do was five? If you now kept doing 10 push-ups, twice a day for another week, could you now do 20 push-ups? I am sure that you are getting the picture. Five is not your maximum; it is only your maximum for now.

There are no Limits to what we can achieve

Start looking at everything in your life this same way. Stop looking at your current abilities and level of skill and then using this as the barometer to determine the size and scope of your dreams and expectations. Allow your mind to see that your current level of skill and ability is only a barometer of your potential right now; it is by no means a measure of the maximum that you are capable of achieving.

Is It Common Practice?

I know this sounds like common sense, but if you want to attract more success into your life, you cannot attract it with your current level of skill and ability. You must first open your mind and explore possibility, not from a position of your current abilities and capability, but rather from a position of what you are capable of becoming, in the future. Once you create a clear picture of what you want to see in your future, based on what you can become. You immediately change your approach from one in which you pursue something, which is beyond your grasp and your current ability, to looking for ways to grow your knowledge, skill and ability to a level where you can begin to become the kind of person you need to be to attract the type of success you have visualised in your future.
Make this small shift and two things will happen:
·         You will be able to stretch yourself and see possibility, which would have seemed beyond the realm of possibility before, when viewed from your current position. You would now begin to see your world open up and all possibility would open up to you. “NO-THING” is impossible any longer. All you need to do to attract any level of success into your experience is map a path to become the type of person who deserves the level of success you desire.
·         You will stop pursuing success, as anything you pursue will elude you. You take the daily action necessary to grow into the type of person you need to be to attract the exact resources, people and circumstances you need to effortlessly enjoy the success that you desire.

Break Free and Live your Potential

The reason most people stay trapped in lives that are unsatisfying and unfulfilling, is because they, keep looking at their future possibility from their current position. It is impossible to see all you are capable of achieving, if you do not step out of your current limited place and view the future through a set of eyes, which is not limited by who you currently are. See the future from a position of who you can become.

When you limit visualising possibility from a position of what is, instead of what can be, you view your potential from a very limited perspective. This narrow perspective will keep you trapped in your self-imposed comfort zone, which has been constructed around your current ability. Open your mind today and see that your current ability is by no means your maximum ability. You are capable of achieving incredible things, if you are willing to look at the future, through a pair of eyes that first sees what you are capable of becoming and then using this as a barometer of possibility, to help you see what you are capable of achieving.

Have Huge Expectations

Set you mind free and allow yourself to once again have huge expectations and dream about all you are capable of achieving. Then go about the business of investing time every day to grow yourself into the exact type of person you need to be, to attract exactly that level of success into your life. Shift your mind away from having and pursuing and start to focus your energy and resources on becoming. This small shift will allow you to attract what will feel like almost effortless success into your life.
