Don't Fence Me In!

I've been thinking a lot about limits. Partly in preparation for this months Coaching Club call but also because I have had a few conversations this week where people have tried to offer, or worse impose, their limits on me.

Be careful about conversations where someone shares a limiting belief and then either expects you to agree with that belief or tells you that if you don't now, you soon will!

Here are some of the limits that people have offered me - and that I'm glad I rejected:

• You'll never get a jgood job without finishing your degree
• Once you've worked in one industry, you can't change to a completely different one
• You'll never get a big name publisher to publish an unknown writer
• You have to give up your life if you want to succeed in business
• You can't expect to love your job
• All the romance will disappear if you move in together
• All the romance will definitely disappear once you get married
• Being married is hard work
• Don't expect to like your in laws
• ... the list goes on and on

Its important to remember that the only limits you need to accept in your life, are the ones you consciously choose to put into place; limits or boundaries that honour your values and take you closer to, not further from Your Best Life.
