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.
