You can limit yourself by the story you have created about you. Here are some sample examples of how the story we have created about ourselves can limit us:
I am not good at maths. I have never been able to dance. I am not a very good writer. I am very stubborn. I don't sleep well. I am very moody. I struggle with my weight. My English is not good. I am always late. I am not a very good driver. I can't see without my glasses. It is hard for me to make friends. Money seems to slip through my fingers.
The moment you become aware of what you are saying, you can delete these things and re-write your story!

Is The Perception Of Others Your Reality?
A young school girl dotted her nose with black marker thinking her classmates will appreciate it and when she got to school she became the object of ridicule in her class. She felt so rejected that she broke down in tears. One of her friends who was touched by her shame also dotted her nose and told her not to cry over it and that she is with her. When the classmates saw her friend's confidence, they also joined in dotting their noses. During break period,the whole school also joined them in dotting their noses. The young school girl who started the trend became elated.
Lesson: Mark12:10 Never allow the perception of others to become your reality. When people can't do something themselves, they will tell you that you can't do it. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do something, not even me.
How people treat you is their karma, how you respond is your karma.
There are two persons in your inside; the positive and the negative person, be careful who you listen to.
The only thing you can't do is that which you tell yourself you can't do. When you believe in yourself, you become more powerful. Most people seems to have a clear idea of how you should lead your life, but none about their own.

Traveling The Extra Mile
A 60 year man got a contract to build a house(storey-building) for a generous rich man. He used inferior materials and when he was done with the project, he handed over the house keys to the owner. The owner gave him the keys and said the house is his gift to him. After few years the building collapsed and killed his family members (his wife and four children).
Lesson: Heb 6:7-8, Matt 25:14-30. The only achievement that comes to you naturally in life is failure, when you don't make efforts to do more, be more, know more, think more, pray more, give more, try more or love more.

Are You Growing Through What You Are Going Through?
This is the success story of a woman I know. Out of thirteen children, she's the only surviving child of her mother. She suffered rejection from her mom; she vented the anger on her, thinking she was responsible for the death of others. She lived with uncles and she was constantly rejected by their wives and even got beaten severally but instead of that to make her wild, she learned forgiveness and she became a better person in life.
Life was not designed by God to be a party ground but a learning centre. That's why the book of proverbs said we learn in times of sorrow than in times of joy. Why is it that a lot of people go through certain things in life and when they come out of them, they come out a bitter person rather than a better person? Is it that they stopped learning?
Heb5:8 "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered".
If you've stopped learning, you are as good as dead because you just stopped living. Learning is Living i.e. To live is to learn and to learn is to live. You are not meant to go through the thick's and thin's of life without the mind of becoming a better person. My question is, Are You Growing Through What You Are Going Through?

3 THINGS GOAL-GETTERS UNDERSTANDS
Great Achievers are Goal-setters. Then if you must become successful, you must set goals for your life.
What a soccer game would be without goal posts is what any life would become without a goal.
Goal-getters understand these 3 things:
1. They understand that success is impossible without SETTING RIGHT PRIORITIES:
Priority determines your value because what you value tops your priority list. Someone once said what you value determines your value. China Education system produces graduates who are entrepreneurs while a country like Nigeria produce graduates who are Job seekers. Another example is how Libyan Government enriches her people with her God-given resources- OIL&GAS while Nigerian Government impoverishes the citizens with hers.
2. They Understand That You Must MAKE PLANS:
A lot of people don't make plans because they either think it's a waste of time or are afraid of what the future holds for them, but you must make plans inorder to succeed. And if the goals seems impossible, don't change the goals, only adjust the action plans. Whatever is planned well is half done.
There's this story of the Dragon and the Treasure. Every one has a Treasure just as everyone has a Dragon. The Dragon guards the Treasure, so to claim your Treasure you must slay your Dragon. Your Dragon is your FEAR and your Treasure is a CREATIVE LEAP. Remember that Fear is Faith that something good won't happen.
3. They Understand That You Must BELIEVE IN YOURSELF:
To succeed in life, you must not only believe in yourself but must surround yourself with people who believe in you. People will talk you down if they know you have discovered the drive to succeed and won't even believe in your dreams. They will tell you words like: No one has ever done that! That's not possible! You can't earn a living off it! Remember STEVE JOBS, no one gave him a chance either.
