What do you believe? Your beliefs drive your life. What are your limiting beliefs and your empowering beliefs? - Masterminds

This is your foundation, these are the bricks in your bedrock, what you believe will drive all your decisions and actions. Of course the nature and quality of those beliefs will help you or hurt you. Few things in life are neutral. And it is typical it seems to have both beliefs, those that limit what you conceive or believe you can accomplish and those that help you reach farther and higher than you did before. You need to take inventory and see what you have to work with. Then comes the difficult part after you list out these limiting and empowering beliefs, the sorting and the rejecting.

This weeding is difficult enough because you will find that some of your limiting believes are cherished markers in your life and you will resist the thought of letting them go. They give you a haven to run to when life is hard or difficult and you can let the pressure off by excusing yourself from responsibility. So a good weeding will reveal these and you will find varying degrees of enthusiasm for uprooting them. And this is a lifelong labor, because these are foundational bricks. They are super difficult to uproot and reject. But you need to do this and rob them of their power to sabotage what you are capable of and need to accomplish. They need to be replaced with beliefs that set you free and give you power and create energy for you to be the superstar that you are destined to become.
