Self-imposed limitations
“Why do you stay in prison, when the door is so wide open?” ~Rumi, Sufi poet
Whether we realize it or not, sometimes we’re responsible for creating our own obstacles. We might cling to old beliefs and stories or make new assumptions that aren’t based on fact. The good news is that we also have the power to move past our self-imposed limitations.
How often do you deceive yourself into believing that you don’t have the ability to achieve a particular goal? How often do you think a door is closed when it really isn’t? ~CL
