Empowering Beliefs
What are your inner conversations like? Are you optimistic or pessimistic? When you begin something or have an idea how do you relate to your ability to implement? Many times the most powerful conversations are the ones we have about ourselves. Do you create uncertainty or look at past shortcomings as reasons to be fearful or do you feel energized and excited by your ideas? I have heard the phrase that we are our own worst critic. Is this true for you?
One of the best ways I know to create empowering beliefs and to shift the internal conversation is through meditation and gratitude. Meditation is great at silencing those negative thoughts and creating space for our inner genius to come through. Gratitude is great to leave us with an empowered feeling as we move attention towards something energizing.
Are your thoughts providing energy and serving you? They are serving you one way or the other, which do you choose?

My thoughts completely align with Garret’s on this. I limit myself all the time in my own mind. I have a decent job right now, and it scares me to leave it with a wife and a new baby because I’m scared that I won’t be able to provide. I have the talent and skills to switch over to be a financial advisor, but am limiting myself because I’m scared to be self-employed.

What you said is so true. With every thought we are planting a seed for harvest….since I am doing the work, might as well plant something I want to harvest. I get excited about new ideas…I feel tingles, my heart races, I get goosebumps and I feel a little scared - thats when I KNOW I have to do it!
