Do you lack confidence? - By: Bobby Buys

The majority of people lack confidence so do not feel alone, self improvement and personal development are almost an alien tongue. Listen closely and you will hear:- "I cannot do that I am not skilled enough/educated enough" "I am too old/your/fat/thin" "I cannot be rich" "I cannot have more than my fair share" "I cannot make more money" "I cannot succeed" "Life is not fair" Do you ever catch yourself saying these self same words and phrases and yet you expect the law of attraction to work for you?

It is a good personal development exercise, in private, to write out the list of things that represent your self-limiting beliefs, for in doing so you can look at each one and see ways of changing them into positive strong beliefs. The barriers that are in your mind when you are faced with a task or an unfamiliar situation determine the quality of your self-improvement.

Can you imagine earning more than 10 times the amount you earn today, if you cannot, you are placing a financial limitation on your personal development and confidence?

1. What is your life purpose - Abundance?

Because they do not know what they really want in life the majority of the population have little or no self confidence; By using positive thinking to establish exactly what you want in your life and even just in the days ahead will set you apart from 95% of the population and start eliminating your self limiting beliefs. Look at anything that you are really passionate about, it is strange you have very few self limiting beliefs about whatever that is you find that your belief system does nothing but increase your confidence.

2. Look at you peer group how many would you say are positive thinking people who have a good impact on your life?

Givers are positive thinking and make your life a fuller experience whereas Takers are very negative about most if not everything and bring doom and despondency to any situation they face. Your personal development and confidence can be destroyed by being surrounded by individuals who are negative? Negative people can steal your dreams. The self-limiting beliefs that have been forced into your mind as you grew up will construct limits and boundaries that you must defeat if you want the law of attraction to work for you.

3. Stop - Think - look at your own history and ask what barriers to success have you got inside your mind?

Make a list of your top 3 limiting beliefs.

Can you replace your self-limiting beliefs by positive thinking? If you can your personal development barriers will disappear. Look at each self limiting belief and write a positive thinking outcome beside it to take the strength out of its negativity and build your confidence.

4. As I have said confidence defeats self-limiting beliefs one way you can build your confidence is to set small steps of self improvement which you can see you can achieve, each achievement will drive you to the next challenge. Fear is a powerful emotion and many people do not only fear failure they also fear success.

5. Do not just accept that the beliefs of your childhood as your beliefs for today

Ask yourself, "Is this belief really true? Without a shadow of doubt I can say that if you analyse your self limiting beliefs you will find that they are based on half truths and misinformation. Ask yourself what your life will be like in the future if you allow any particular self limiting belief control your actions? Replacing a self-limiting belief with a positive thinking belief is the best way to achieve freedom and abundance in your life?"

Remember it is an easy exercise to control your self-limiting beliefs and turn them into positive thinking that enable you to taste the sweet taste of success. It starts with good solid goal setting.

Aim high! Dream big!
