What's Stopping You? -- Motivational Minute (13_063)



Quote of the day:

“Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.” Orison Swett Marden

Consider:

This reminds me of the story of a jail in a town in British Columbia, Canada, in the 1900s.

 It was used for many decades and never had a single breakout. Those inside the jail never knew that one of the walls was nothing but thin wood and papier-mâché. It had been cleverly made to look like stone and iron. So although the inmates were nothing more than a simple kick away from escape, they saw it as a solid prison. Their own minds and perceptions kept them bound in spite of the fact that there was no substance to what was holding them prisoner.

Sometimes our walls of mind-sets and attitudes have no more substance or ability to bind our heart and mind than those paper-thin walls in this story, but we often are still as shackled and imprisoned as if they were bands and chains of iron and walls of stone.

What limiting belief is stopping you? Stop and think about what things are preventing you from reaching your full potential. Then, no matter how real the limiting belief may seem, try busting right through it, to see if it is merely made of paper.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
