The Breakthrough Blueprint - When Your Belief Becomes Your Ceiling

One insight. One thought from a great mind. One shift you can make. All built around one question: What is the difference between good and great?

ONE INSIGHT

When Your Belief Becomes Your Ceiling.

Here's what I have learned from working in the world of high performance: The only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you tell yourself about why you don't have it yet.

You see, a story is simply a set of beliefs we have created about why things are the way they are in our life...

• Why we believe we can or can't do something.
• Why we believe something is or isn't possible.
• Why we believe we deserve or don't deserve something.

And if we are not careful, our beliefs condition a story that becomes the ceiling on our potential. Because all beliefs carry with them consequences, and different stories create completely different trajectories in our life.

From that, this is what I have found that separates the good from the great: Their ability to create empowering beliefs and create a narrative that keeps them moving forward, despite their perceived setbacks, adversities, and limitations.

ONE THOUGHT FROM A GREAT MIND

"When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending." -Brene Brown

Why this matters to you: You are not your circumstances. You are the meaning you assign to them. If you are stuck, it's worth asking: What story am I telling? 

ONE SHIFT

Moving from a "Fixed Identity" to a "Growth Identity"

You may have built a story around your limitations that feels real because of the beliefs you have collected as evidence. But what if your limitations aren't your identity, but your superpower? What if every struggle is exactly what you need to become more of who you are truly meant to be? That is a different story that creates a different identity...

Write down one limiting belief/story you tell about yourself and ask:

• Is this absolutely true?
• What if this "limitation" is actually showing me what I need to develop?
• What would I attempt if I didn't believe this story?
• What is a more empowering story I could tell instead?
