Are you letting other people define what is possible...-Colleen Norris Wellness

We hear advice from people ALL the time! Some of it can be good, and some can be horrible and incredibly limiting! The thing to remember is that we are hearing their advice through their filter and what they think is possible in the world! They may be coming from their own experiences that have taught them “you can’t get what you want” or “you can’t make a living doing something you love” or “making money is bad or means that you are greedy.” There are A LOT of layers of B.S. in someone else’s advice.

I will give you an example from my own life…

I once had a track coach tell me that if I had longer legs, I would be a champion! Remember I’m only 5 feet tall, and that is NOT all legs!

What he didn’t realize is that although the length of one’s legs can help in how fast you are, it pales in comparison to someone’s drive and determination. That is what made up for the length of my legs. I went on to qualify for the State Championship Race that year.

It’s also important to mention that it was only 9 months after having major reconstructive jaw surgery where they took bone from my hip to place in my jaw, and my mouth was wired shut for 3 weeks. I also have 24 titanium screws in my face.

Bottom line: If I had listened to what he told me that day, it could have easily limited me to what I thought was possible and I would have NEVER run in the State Championship Race.

What are people saying to you on a day–to–day basis that you are just accepting as truth and allowing to limit what is possible in your life?

Exercise
What is a goal you have for yourself? Who have you been listening to about what THEY think is possible for you? Is it someone that supports and helps empower you OR is it someone who is limited themselves?

Affirmation
I am the creator of my reality!
I have the power, drive, and determination to create whatever I want!

Make it an OUTSTANDING week! It’s your choice!
