42 AUGUST 2021 WorldWide Drilling Resource® No Self-Limitations by Tim Connor It has been said, by many people a lot smarter than me, “the only limitations we encounter in life are those self-limiting ones we place on ourselves”. If this is true, and at this point I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with this premise, why then do so few people reach their full potential? Who do so many people feel stuck, out of control, and without hope in their lives? Why do so many give up, quit, settle, resign themselves, or operate out of blame, anger, guilt, resentment, and self-pity when it comes to the quality of their life? If this question were answered in a book by the same title, it would never sell. Why? Because the very people we are talking about here do not want to take the responsibility for their lives. They insist on pointing their finger toward something or someone else for the cause of their station or circumstances. I have been at the bottom of the barrel a few times in my life. I have also reached the mountaintop. I have met thousands of people in my travels as a speaker who believe they do not have choices. They are stuck - in a job, business, relationship, way of life, neighborhood, climate, or career. You and I are not trees. We can change what we do not like. Why don’t we? Fear, comfort, procrastination, wrong motives, or others’ emotional manipulation of us and our acceptance of it. The truth is, and I didn’t just invent or discover it, each of us came into this world headed for greatness in some way. We were engineered for success at birth and conditioned for failure along the way. We have forgotten our heritage. We have in our skull the most magnificent organ ever created, a mind that can create whatever it chooses. There is nothing we cannot do. The skeptics out there are thinking: “Sure, Tim, I can fly.” I don’t have the time nor the interest to deal with skeptics or critics. If that is their attitude, I’ll bet they take it into other areas of their life as well. This is not about you or me flying, but realizing we can do whatever we put our minds to, as long as we put action into our dreams. Certainly, there are some physical limitations in some areas or with some people. My major point here is most of us could do more if we would only learn that most of our ceilings are self-imposed. What inner mental images are you holding in your consciousness which may be holding you back? Is it fear of failure, or success? Is it the fear of rejection or public scorn? Is it an inner feeling of unworthiness? Or is it some other emotional issue or scar you have failed to recognize or deal with?
