Most of us have dreams that we aspire to achieve. It could be a career that we know that we will excel in, a road trip that we have been planning for some time or perhaps a better life and the list goes on. We have put in the effort, we even have an action plan. But why is there no progress or slow progress? Let us take a minute to reflect on what could have been holding us back from achieving our dreams.
There could be a lot factors that could have hold us back and prevent us from moving forward towards our dreams. One of the most important factors is that we are # unable to let go. Let us examine some of things that we are clinging on and unable to let go.
1. We Are Unable to Let Go of Our Comfort Zone
In fact I have already written a post on this subject. We feel secure and comfortable in our comfort zone and with our daily routine that we have established. But if we do not challenge ourselves and move out of our comfort zone, we will not be able to make progress and move forward. We need to do new things or the same things but in new ways to see improvements in our lives. Let go of our comfort zone and we will see our lives soaring to greater heights.
2. We Are Unable To Let Go Of Our Limiting Beliefs.
Limiting beliefs are the beliefs that we hold on to or stories that we tell ourselves as to why it is not possible for us to achieve our dreams. Our limiting beliefs virtually imprisoned us. In order to break free, we must replace these limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs. Let me give you an example. Instead of thinking that we are too old to start a new business, our belief should be we are more experienced because of our age and thus more likely to succeed in our new business. We will feel much more empowered with this new set of beliefs.
3. We Are Unable To Let Go Of Our Past
As Anthony Robbins, a motivational speaker rightly pointed out “The Past Is Not Our Future”. If our lives are too focused on our past, we will be unable to fully appreciate the present moment and realize the potential of the future. It is like trying to drive a car by looking at the rear mirror. Sure, we may have failed in the past, people might have hurt us or we might have gone through terrible experiences. However we need to realize that what is past cannot be changed, instead our focus should be what can learn from our past and then move on. By letting go of our past, we are able to treasure the joy of the moment and claim the promise of tomorrow.
