Self Limiting Beliefs

[Kyle Curtin]

Self limiting beliefs.

Self limiting beliefs are a very large barricade to you achieving big things and achieving your vision and then proceeding to blow it out of the water and moving onto the next one.

It is very easy to be frightened by your next goal, and you should be to some degree because it should be bigger than the one that you just completed.

But with that dream typically comes at least a little bit of a mentality of “oh I can’t do that!” or “that’s way too hard, I am not capable of that!”. Most people quit after having these kind of thoughts because they don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and don’t believe in their vision enough to keep pressing forward and bursting through the barricades.

You don’t want to be one of those people that had a brilliant idea and decided it was too difficult and didn’t even bother trying.

I had a very important conversation at a rei meetup last with with an investor doing absolutely unbelievable things in the real estate sector. I told him about a very ambitious vision I have for this year and he shared a few things that really made me think next level.

He told me that it is nothing shy of incredible how much human beings can actually do. (This is not to sound corny, but 100% seriously.) We can literally do absolutely anything we want (period). Once in a while you have to step back and just look at the bigger picture and be self aware of the environment around you.

We were at a meetup with a bunch of real estate investors and guest speakers and folks with a wide variety of levels of establishment in the investment sphere all learning and changing our lives together. All of this started from one idea in one persons mind and look at how much it has grown since inception and how much it will grow in the future.

This is the type of thing that changes lives. Who you hang around is a big proponent of your mindset and your mentality.

If you have a very large vision for something and try to tell folks who aren’t in that sphere, they may not give you the advice (or boot in the ***) that you need to keep your mindset straight and tell you that you CAN do it. This is not a bad thing so to say, it is just different levels of self limiting beliefs. You need to hear the “right” advice.

It is absolutely life changing when you talk to folks who are in your space and tell them your vision and what you are shooting towards and they are able to genuinely tell you that you can do it and to hit the ground running.

Self limiting beliefs are a killer, don’t let them kill your dreams and vision and hang around the right folks that will egg you on to go get them regardless of how scary they are. You will make progress and reach that level.

All it takes is an idea, belief, and execution to change everything….
