I can be successful because I am called by<br />
God, qualified, <strong>and</strong> smart. College doesn’t fit<br />
in with who I am <strong>and</strong> what my calling is. That<br />
truth trumped my limiting beliefs <strong>and</strong> I have<br />
never looked back.<br />
I want you <strong>to</strong> overcome your biggest hurdles<br />
by changing the way you think, <strong>to</strong>o. It’s such<br />
a powerful ability we all have! Our thoughts<br />
hold incredible power.<br />
You can apply this <strong>to</strong> any area of your life<br />
<strong>and</strong> find your own personal limiting mindsets<br />
lurking. Let’s talk about what you can do<br />
about it.<br />
STOP COUNTING YOUR<br />
FAILURE AS THE END OF<br />
THE ROAD. LEARN FROM<br />
IT, AND TRY AGAIN.<br />
Remember that one time <strong>and</strong> that twohundredth<br />
time you tried <strong>to</strong> lose weight,<br />
s<strong>to</strong>p yelling, start a business, improve your<br />
marriage, wake up early, whatever it is for<br />
you, <strong>and</strong> you failed? Nobody cares but you.<br />
Let it go, detach yourself from it - that failure<br />
is not your identity. Move on <strong>and</strong> try again.<br />
MOVE FROM A FIXED<br />
MINDSET TO A<br />
GROWTH MINDSET<br />
You’re stuck, <strong>and</strong> it’s <strong>to</strong>tally possible for you<br />
<strong>to</strong> pull out of it. Change your way of thinking<br />
by counteracting your limiting beliefs with<br />
the truth. For me, that’s Scripture <strong>and</strong> who<br />
my Savior says I am - able through Him, a<br />
new creation with a fresh start right in front<br />
of me, called according <strong>to</strong> His purpose -<br />
those truths counteract my negativity <strong>and</strong><br />
my fixed mindset. I’m a big believer in writing<br />
things down. Studies show that we are<br />
42% more likely <strong>to</strong> accomplish goals when<br />
we write them down, so I think it’s pretty<br />
important <strong>to</strong> write down what it is we’re<br />
wanting <strong>to</strong> change in ourselves <strong>to</strong>o.<br />
Write out your<br />
limiting beliefs,<br />
then write out the<br />
truths <strong>and</strong> positive<br />
affirmations that<br />
counteract those<br />
beliefs. Get in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
habit of saying those<br />
positive words out loud <strong>to</strong><br />
yourself every day. Watch your<br />
world transform.<br />
CONQUER<br />
Help yourself overcome by putting your<br />
truths <strong>and</strong> the goal you want <strong>to</strong> make<br />
your reality right in front of your face<br />
all the time. Create a list or picture<br />
of vision board of where you want <strong>to</strong><br />
go, place it somewhere you’ll see it all<br />
throughout the day, like your fridge or car<br />
steering wheel. Focus on it, let it permeate<br />
your brain all day long.<br />
Make sure your affirmations make you feel<br />
something. When you’re reading them out<br />
loud, you should feel yourself being filled<br />
with hope - it should feel like someone is<br />
breathing life in<strong>to</strong> you. When I read mine,<br />
I can feel something inside of me shifting,<br />
responding <strong>to</strong> the words I’m saying. Make<br />
them bold, not timid.<br />
For example, when we were at our brokest<br />
point, I s<strong>to</strong>od in my driveway <strong>and</strong> said, “I am<br />
extremely wealthy. I am also generous <strong>and</strong><br />
changing the world with my money.”<br />
Do you have any idea how ridiculous it felt<br />
<strong>to</strong> st<strong>and</strong> outside <strong>and</strong> say that sentence<br />
out loud when I wasn’t even sure how we<br />
were going <strong>to</strong> afford groceries the next<br />
day? But suddenly, nearly overnight, this<br />
was our reality, <strong>and</strong> now we are truly seeing<br />
our money do good things <strong>and</strong> change the<br />
world through giving - it’s incredible <strong>to</strong> see<br />
this practice take effect in your life. You<br />
can do this same thing with anything you’re<br />
struggling <strong>to</strong> overcome.<br />
