One dumb thing: Limitations


This weeks Burn­ing Ques­tion asks us to con­sider one dumb thing we used to believe. Well shit, I thought, that could be any­thing. I used to believe that box tur­tles were card­board tur­tles, I used to believe I could just party my way through life (party as in drink every night, not party as in treat life as a party, that’s still a valid thought), I used to believe if I ignored some­thing it would go away (which is some­times true for pet­tier prob­lems but not things like debt and health).
I sup­pose the belief I’ll focus on isn’t nec­es­sar­ily one belief, but a whole cat­e­gory of lim­it­ing beliefs that spoke of me being unwor­thy, too small, not good enough. Any crit­i­cal with­out being con­struc­tive or restrict­ing thought that has pre­vented me from liv­ing an authen­tic, free life.
The more I prac­tice unlim­it­ing thoughts, the more I real­ize how off base and askew the lim­it­ing ones are. It’s still a work in progress, I still some­times tell my self I can’t do some­thing, who am I to do what­ever, but they are get­ting both qui­eter and I am pay­ing less atten­tion to them.
Life is truly what you/I/we think it is-in a law of attrac­tion way, in a real­ity doesn’t even exist way, and in a just chang­ing your damn per­spec­tive way. We are lim­ited and unlim­ited by our­selves. The only thing we can truly change is our thoughts and per­spec­tive.
So a dumb thing I used to believe in is that I was lim­ited.
