Looking at our Stories

What stories do we tell ourselves that seem to be absolutely true and undeniable? Here are some examples: "I'm not good at relationships," "I hate exercising," "I've never been organized," "I have no sense of direction," I'm not photogenic," "I'm not good at small talk," "I have trouble sleeping," "I'm lousy at math," "I don't like to cook."

This list just scratches the surface of the various stories we believe to be true about ourselves. And we get busy making sure we have the evidence and proof to back them up - cementing these stories in place in our consciousness that they are absolutely true.

What would happen if we took just one of our deeply held beliefs and actively looked for its opposite? I wonder what we would find. Could it be possible that we really don't 'hate' to exercise, that it is merely uncomfortable? Could it be possible that we really aren't disorganized but we've not ever put our attention to being organized and it is uncomfortable?

It's time to stop being afraid of our genius, time to stop doubting ourselves and what we’ve come here to do, and time to stop living in the safety zone on time-out. We are brilliant and amazingly awesome and it is time we open up to that and begin to tell new stories. 

And you know what?, your brilliance is blinding!

Wisdom From Ernest Holmes
"Just keep right on knocking at the doorway of your consciousness until every “no” becomes a “yes,” every negation an affirmation, every fear a faith. You cannot fail if you remain steadfast."
