Overcoming Limiting Beliefs And Influences
By Garry
The environment that we grow up in, and the influences we are exposed to as children, have a substantial and lasting impact on our thinking, even if we aren't aware of it.
The greatest initial source of influence on us is our parents, and any older siblings, as these are generally the people that we spend the most time with as young children.
This usually continues as we grow into teenagers, and adults, with an ever widening range of influence also affecting our thinking. Of course, as we grow and develop as individuals we develop our own opinions and outlook on life.
However, there's no doubt that, to some degree, the opinions of our family and friends affect our beliefs, our expectations, our opinions, in fact the very way we live our lives. So do countless other external sources, such as education, religion, television, films, books, magazines, newspapers, radio and many more.
It's hard to say what percentage of our beliefs and values have actually come from our own thoughts and experiences, and how much comes from outside influences that we have accepted as fact without even actively thinking about them. This also varies considerably from person to person, as some people are more readily susceptible to outside influence than others.
Some of our most positive and constructive personal attributes and values develop as a result of external influences, but so can negative character traits and beliefs.
Some people can become so conditioned in their thinking that, although they want success and to make something of their lives, their deeply held beliefs and conditioning can actually sabotage their best efforts.
If, for example, you grew up in an environment where money is always scarce and making ends meet was a constant battle, you can easily come to believe deep down that this is what you can expect in your life.
You may seriously desire much greater success, and even work hard towards it, but at a subconscious level, you can actually hold yourselves back by imposing self limiting beliefs and expectations on yourself, without even being aware of it. It can be almost as if you believe deep down that you don't deserve to be prosperous and successful.
The media compounds these beliefs. How many books and films are there featuring stereotypes such as 'poor but honest and hard working folk' who have been used and abused in some way by the 'rich and corrupt millionaire''? Everyone loves an underdog and these stories can be very entertaining, but they also tend to reinforce the that financial success and sound moral values are mutually exclusive.
But this can also work in the exact opposite way. Many people become successful because they are so determined not to live the way their parents had to live, that this becomes their driving force. They either totally believe they have the right to be successful, or they overcome any conditioned beliefs that could hold them back.
As we grow up and get older, the influence of the family may lessen as we spend more time with other people. The people we choose to associate with can also have a great effect on our lives and our thinking. More often than not, we aren't even aware just how much influence other people can have.
Do you associate with people who have a positive outlook on life and are trying to make something of themselves and their lives, or are you mixing with negative people with little or no ambitions? I think it was Brian Tracy who said 'you can't expect to fly like an eagle if you hang out with turkeys' or words to that effect.
Could you be spending time with people that could influence you to move forward in the direction of your goals? What other outside influences or conditioned beliefs could be holding you back?
Being aware of, and overcoming any limiting beliefs or influences, can be one of the most important actions we ever take for our success and happiness. And this is not just about financial success; this applies to whatever your idea of success and happiness is.
Possibly the most important anyone can develop is to firmly believe that you can do anything that you commit to.
If you genuinely, positively, believe that you can do something, if you are determined and committed, and make the plans and take action, there's no doubt you can do it.
But it also works in reverse - if you believe you can't do something, you're also right.
It really is as simple as that. It starts with knowing exactly what you want, and then having a big enough 'why' for wanting it, developing a burning desire to achieve it, and having total that you can achieve it.
Then you will find, or develop, the resources and skills needed, make the plans, and take the actions necessary to succeed.
You may well have to overcome conditioned beliefs and external influences, and be prepared to swim against the tide, but it will be more than worth it to.

<p>I’ve known this girl at work for a while… she’s just become single and we ended up together almost instantly. She’s perfect- so much of everything i’ve always looked for. I’m falling for her extremely hard, and she is the exact same way about me… but the issue is that she is 12 years older than I am. And she is not wanting any children in her life… I’ve told her that’s ok, that I can deal with it, and I can just to be with her- because she is really that perfect. The thing is…</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to be somebody’s daddy.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/458001805" height="1" width="1"/>160527493
<p>i feel like a ghost in my own life, i go hours and hours a day with no one to talk to and when my boyfriend finally comes home at night he ignores me and goes straight to the computer. having dinner with him is like eating with a zombie, driving in a car is hours of silence, there is no interaction because we have nothing in common and we are just too lazy to say fuck it.</p>
<p> we cant listen to music or watch movies because neither one of us have the same tastes, so we try to compromise by doing things that neither one likes. </p>
<p>all i want is someone who understands me and wants to talk to me at least once a month, is that too much to ask? i know there are many people out there who feel the same way, why do we have these problems? why arent people taught to communicate?</p>
<p>these poor teenagers who think sex will solve everything, it will make them closer, ensure that the other person loves them, and will stay with them forever. its all a farce, a relationship only survives because of communication, not sexual attraction.</p>
<p><span class="dquo">“</span>you cant find nothing at all, if there was nothing there all along”</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/458001806" height="1" width="1"/>156368314
<p>I just ate the last piece of my birthday cake, because none of my friends are taking my calls..</p>
<p>Did I mention the cake expired 8 days ago? </p>
<p>How nasty..</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457987339" height="1" width="1"/>813825795
<p>I have sexual urges toward my classmate. I’m very much attracted to her. All the time I just want to kiss her, or hold her in my arms. I even got turned on once when I could see through her shirt one day. I really shouldn’t feel this way. She’s straight, and I’m not. I think she knows this, but…I just hate this. Purposely making up excuses to touch her. To at least put my hand on hers, lightly touch her shoulder, anything. </p>
<p>It’s just so annoying that I know she’ll never be mine.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457966525" height="1" width="1"/>142803082
<p>I made a B last year and my parents still don’t know it because I tore my <span class="caps">ACL</span> a few days before. They were too busy caring for my injury to notice.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457953755" height="1" width="1"/>172247722
<p>well my ex had his first fuck since we broke up 6-7 months ago… not sure how i feel. i know i still have feelings for him which i wish i didn’t.. worst part is he’s still living here. <span class="caps">GAH</span> i think if i was getting laid i’d feel a bit better.. maybe not..</p>
<p>i’m just lonely i guess</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457839015" height="1" width="1"/>510779482
<p>I’m in love with you, and you’re in love with me, yet you won’t finalise our relationship.<br />
You’ve explained it and I’ve pretended to understand.<br />
I’ve been so in love with you for a year and a half now.<br />
You found out about your sickness, and I’ve stuck by you.<br />
You’ve had family problems, I’ve been right there behind you, getting you what you need and loving you. Reassuring you about everything.<br />
I’m tired of feeling unwanted.<br />
I’m tired of not understanding.<br />
I’m so in love with you still, and I show it everyday. Everyone knows.<br />
Why aren’t we together?</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457814413" height="1" width="1"/>372838562
<p>i got into an argument with my friend. i insulted him really bad, and even though were friends again<br />
i feel like it will never be the same. And that i changed our<br />
relationship forever. im such a fuck up.<br />
I need to think about what i say.</p>
<p>i know he reads this.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457775125" height="1" width="1"/>709695295
<p>People think I’m modest, because I’m always bringing attention to my many talents in a way that makes people think they notice it themselves. Then I pretend to be all humbled when they compliment me.<br />
I’m a very good liar and can act my way out of any situation, guilt-free, with an innocent, polite look on my face.<br />
In reality, I’m an arrogant, sarcastic jerk.<br />
Every once in a while I cry, because I know that no one will ever want to marry someone like the real me.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457764664" height="1" width="1"/>939602355
<p>I say no to things i want to do, just so i can keep an image and brag about it. Then lay awake wondering what i missed.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/grouphug/confessions/~4/457753914" height="1" width="1"/>
