#like baby what do they do to u to make u so reactive!!!!! poor thing

[pathologising]

trying to befriend the neighbors angry pitbull through my window he is NOT happy

[subskz]

doing this trend (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8HBPjPm/) with each member. what would their reactions be? imagine lightly squeezing their bulge and seeing them jolt a little and squeeze their thighs together… i feel like hannie would have a massive boner while filming the tiktok LMAO. and then jerking them off with ur new set of nails after recording <3

link! (semi-nsfw)

ohh i’m obsessed w this 😽

hannie would definitely be fighting for his life the most out of all the boys lmao he would be so embarrassingly hard after just one attempt at filming, you’d be able to wrap your fingers fully around the outline of his dick through his sweatpants and feel him throb so eagerly in your hands. it makes showing off your nails kinda difficult though bc he’d be squirming around like crazy, and the longer it goes on, he eventually starts whining up a storm too. if you “accidentally” dragged one of your nails along the shape of his bulge to create a delicious friction w the material of his pants, his hips would buck up so fast. he’d beg for you to please just hurry up and finish already bc he's starting to get so hard it aches, but he keeps messing up your videos like the needy lil thing he is. which ofc makes for the perfect opportunity to insist that you won’t touch him until you get it right. he’d be a desperate, twitching wreck by the end of it, whining your name, tugging helplessly at your wrist and trying to guide it under the waistband of his pants. it’s up to you whether u wanna indulge him, or keep messing w him until he breaks down into tears of frustration before you finally wrap your pretty manicured fingers around his leaking cock

jinnie and chan would also be one step away from losing their minds if you did this to them hehe. their thigh muscles would be clenching so tight, using all their strength not to close in on each other and rub together every time you so much as brush over their crotch. channie especially would be so embarrassed w himself for getting turned on over smth like this, even when that’s very clearly your intention here…poor baby giggles nervously when you drape your fingers over his clothed dick and he does his best not to draw attention to the growing tent in his sweatpants. he’d be so sweet too, trying to give you compliments on your nails as you show them off, but his voice would crack pitifully when he speaks and his ears would be on fire. his eyes would be flickering all over the place too bc he knows staring too hard at where your hand is will make him start to short circuit. it'd be esp fun to tease him by forcing him to look bc you keep asking him questions like "is that a good angle? do they look nice like this? maybe i should spread them out more" followed by channie having to smack his hand over his mouth as a last ditch attempt to hide his shaky, pathetic groan when you stretch your fingers out over his bulge. him, hyunjin, and jisung would be very lucky that you’re putting music over the video bc they’d no doubt be letting out weak gasps and whimpers the entire time <3

jinnie would have such entertaining reactions, you can see the torment all over his pretty face from the very first take. his thick brows scrunch together and he bites down so hard on his lower lip until it swells up and the skin nearly breaks, you’d think he was getting the head of his life instead of just feeling your fingers tease him through his clothes. you’d probably also have to refilm the video a few times to get him to sit still for you bc his body is ridiculously reactive, but it just gets worse every time. once hyune’s gotten worked up, it's hopeless to calm him down again bc he’s hypersensitive to every little touch and gets so in his head, all he can focus on is how badly he needs you to keep touching him. feeling your fingers dance playfully over his bulge and seeing how your pretty nails gleam under the light, he can’t help but start to push his hips into your palm, whining low in his throat thinking abt them wrapped around his cock. a cute lil wet stain might even start to seep through his sweatpants <3

jeongin would love (and hate) this trend the most out of all the boys hehe i think he’d really go crazy whenever you get your nails done bc this boy lives for the aesthetics. he’d already be admiring them w stars in his eyes and might even get a lil touchy just to hold your fingers in his hands and run his pads over the fresh coat. so when you innocently ask him to film a video w you, he’d agree without question…only for him to realize a split second too late what ur evil plan really is. he'd sound so cute and clueless the moment it dawns on him, stammering out a sudden "w-wait, like that!?” but as soon as he catches sight of your fingers resting over his crotch, his brain turns to mush and he forgets how to speak. he’d be giggling breathlessly a lot like channie bc doesn’t know what else to do, and getting him to keep his legs from closing in on each other is a lost cause. he’d let out the cutest wail of embarrassment when he realizes how turned on he’s gotten, hiding behind his hands and huffing abt what a perv you are…which ofc you spin back around on him bc he’s the one who looks ready to ruin his underwear over some nails 🥰 he’s so irresistible when he gets flustered like that though, so you make it up to him by giving him the perfect view of your new nails sliding up and down his dick. he’d be so mesmerized by the sight and would definitely cum much faster than usual…and since he’s so into it, he can lick his mess off your fingers afterwards too~

all of the hand holding. my babes. 

[distant--shadow]

very much not a post about Cole, yes I brought up a question of theirs that got answered but that was in another post as an example of poor question selection and how it felt shitty in context of "hey I'm gonna give all of this attention to this last question" and getting that, which was lame (maybe I'm out of touch here, I'm not in any big servers or cliques, I'm not aware of the role the glasses play as a "lightning rod" still, as u say, or that it was still relevant. to me it has been made pretty clear (as Laura said) in campaign that she needs them but doesn't have them (I couldn't care less if people chose to make their own art with her wearing them, I'm aware of what making choices u enjoy for ur own fanart is), therefore my frustration on that getting asked. you have picked a post out of a few I made and q's I answered that would give this context (and how I'm more frustrated by the show as a whole as well as general fandom behaviour) . the most tasteless question by far was about gendering the future kids, that is what I'm annoyed at when I'm talking about needing your own headcanons confirmed, idk who made it and I didn't put much thought into paying attention to names behind them because at the end of the day I was just noting the overall quality of questions, I'm not gonna change my opinion on the question based on the person behind it. I also think it will always be valid to critique media you care about and also quesiton the behaviours of people that share space with you(as u are with me rn) (so yes I see u people saying "lol get over the term girlfailure, we got bigger issues going on in the world" then a moment later being like "omg cr fandom has so much casual misogyny" like yeah, you're partaking in casual misogny babe. yes I'm aware people disagree with this. this is my blog, I'm a person with opinions) I have since spoken to people who submitted questions, none of which got answered and people admit they sent both more in depth and lighthearted ones. yes from that I can conclude that the issue lies more with the curation, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel frustrated, and I had said that yes Laura is probably just picking out anything that looks like a quesiton in a quickly moving chat, u can see how she deflated when getting far enough through some of them.

once again, this whole post jumping into Cole defense is just showing that you're also agitated by something in the moment without the actual context you're "having to assume" and that's fair, but it's arguably just as reactionary as what you're saying I did. yes, I think the fandom behaviour needs to be different if it's going to have this much impact on the actual content of a show, that's the main thing here, I don't like the feeling of being catered or pandered to if this is what they think fans want to see, yes maybe a lot of this is me being reactive to that feeling. it's a blog. I'm sharing my opinions in the moment. I want others to see that despite the fact I make a fuck tonne of shipping art, I don't actually want that being lip-serviced like those are my needs during the sparse oppurtunities that we get for deeper character answers.

also, to end, to finish off this post with the tags "#the fires ya'll #kyle just lost his fucking house" like what???! OK????!!! do you feel righteous now? you don't think i 100% support them taking all the time off they need tor recover from this? that I'm not sympathetic? you really saying hey excuse you, don't be a bully, fires have happened? when the person I'm apparently targeting from your post is not cast or crew? (or in california, as far as I'm aware) like what? that's the "unkind" thing to say right there, I get that things are super rough and Laura is recovering from a lost voice because of everything going on. maybe they didn't need to rush it, maybe that doesn't change the fact they still recorded and chose the questions they did? I don't think many fans were thinking "oh i'll ask baby questions because there have been fires." I'm not gonna go into this any more but, super super lame behaviour.

I shouldn't be surprised by the fireside chat being the state it was, seeing as I don't follow any CR themed blogs myself or really go into the tags because I find it frustrating but still, the bleed over of fanon is depressing and a lot of you are showing your asses in terms of how you don't actually gaf about the characters or the story the players have chosen to tell.

I love my au's, I love my headcanons, I love my not quite canon ships, but they're for me and the people who chose to enjoy them if they want to. and what makes creating those things more fulfilling is trying to really be true to the character it's about, otherwise just go play with OCs

this will be my last salty post on the matter (guess we'll see) but man, the timing? all of this crazy shit is going on, it is well established that the audience is frustrated with how little downtime we've had with these characters and getting to see those long rest bonds we got to enjoy with previous campaigns, 4SD is over, and that's what you wanna ask about? it's selfish, honestly.

[lollybliz]

Rate everyone in the chaos gc's feral-ness? (You don't have too!)

o shit o shit what are 1-10 scales idfk here we go I guess

we gon go in the order they are in on the server screen rn cus my brain is made of swiss cheese and if I tried to remember everyone authentically id forget someone and whether they would tease me or not is questionable but *I* would never be able to let *myself* live that down.

@no-one-told-you-life-was-gay talks a lot of feral but I would say is mostly Big Protecc and sometimes a bit of a pot-stirrer. lotta steam and kettle whistling but xey’re mostly just warm and cuddly, sorry, I’m here to fuck up your reputation. big softy, big cares about friends and platonic spouses, does threaten murder or resurrection if relevant but most of the feral comes from the angst aus, and those tend to be more sad than feral. 8/10 high, 5/10 during sofd moments.

@riseoftherose is *b i g  s o f t* and sweet but also she’s the one who full name-drops and it *works* and that says something. not so Feral as just plain Powerful but there is a strength there and it is a thing to behold. mostly reactive to the feral behavior on the chat, not an instigator. i have seen her be feral, sorta, but its a rare occasion and usually has something to do with irl situarions. very interesting when it happens though! 2/10.

@p0p-r0x75 is a feral jack-in-the-box. silent for hours, no reaction. suddenly a pile of art appears out of the blue and the characters within are in amazingly angsty positions and all Rox will say is :))) and youre just left there spinning worrying about these poor Links and what the fuck have you done to them Rox what is vaati doing what have you d o n e??? and if you like the Zelda franchise and get him talking there is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge in that head and it is beautiful. 4/10.

@todorokitops is feral but like only from certain angles. like those 3d puzzles that when twisted suddenly become a bird. generally sweet and kind and gentle and fluffy and then BAM blizzard bakudeku pops up out of the blue, or fantasy spinner has had his wings and tails fucking chopped off for a lover who let him and you’re just like, wait, Wait, everything was ok and now i’m in emotional agony what the f u c k but also its beautiful and you *will* be back begging to be hurt again. also the sheer number of posts made with the shigaraki tupper has to count for some amount of feral. 6/10.

@ragingfangirl666 is a *b a b e y* and i want to hold her. she does get feral, and is a welcome member of owo jail from time to time! she also has, i think, 20 goddamn tuppers and you have to be a feral beast to keep up with that kind of nonsense. also somehow pumps out amazing quantities of fanart for the roleplays so fast its relevant to whats being actively written still and that's. that's godlike. 6/10

@jinx108 is subtly feral. stealth feral. quiet feral. its there, but you gotta look, and sometimes its v v secret. she likes to ask questions and make statements just to see what happens. she’s got a huge heart and when she gets excited about something she’s Really excited, and its so fun to watch her get going! 3/10.

@sergeantpurrito is mom. she is mum. she is the mother. she is not the feral, she cares for the feral. she is Good and Stable. lil bit of a fellow dice gremlin though, so little bit of feral cus Dice. 1/10

@pufftheminidragon is mai owo pawtnew in cwime and ai wowouwd defewnd ‘dem to da deaff! my wowondewfuww jaiwmate, my excewent fwiend, da one who maed da au wiff da fouw bad ends and da two good ends and we aww picked bad ends. Puffle da magnificent weed dwagon is a sowid 8/10 when peaking, and a 4, maybe 5/10 most of the time.

@friendly-neighborhood-pan is my child and i love them with my whole heart and i will defend them forever and ever and they are blessed and they are such a cryptid holy shit. all the feral in this baby is the mystique surrounding them, are they there? do they see you? are they lurking? are they working on a masterpiece to stealthdrop at three am? who knows! a mystery, all the time. but also babey. but also completely baffling. 8-9/10.

theres a couple more i could add but theyre kinda on the edges so like. i’ll add them later if asked? maybe? if i know them well enough?

[pairup-squareup]

why r u ep 3 thoughts

gripes!

It hasn’t gotten worse but god I hope we are swiftly moving past the exaggerated over the top comedy fear of being gay. I think we are, but I need it to lighten up on that angle.

very poor directors choice to have Sun creepily watch a passed out Hwahwa. It’s not his character at all, it was clearly not intended, but the image of a dude who has feelings for a person moving slowly closer to them as they are unconscious from alcohol is incredibly predatory.

i do not at all believe that was the intent, but it made me wince.

i will note the pacing in this ep was the best it’s been. there was still some extraneous stuff we didn’t need, but its definitely tightened up.

CONTENT!!!

finally i am getting a hold of fighter and tutor. I’ve got a handle on their characters now. Fighter is bad at everything emotional, and can’t stop escalating instead of pausing and taking a breath. Also, monumentally bad at self reflection.

Tutor? He’s a bit of a bastard, honestly. You get thrown off by Saint’s sweet angel face, but the actual character is fast tempered, and kind of a dick. This is not a bad thing. This makes this combo more interesting to me. I’m not into extreme bully/victim stuff, I need people to be able to stand their ground, or for the bullying to be pigtail pulling, to be a failure of communication of intent, not cruelty.

It feels like, and I may be wrong, but it looks like Fighter hasn’t intentionally gone into a relationship with Hwahwa to use her as a beard. He’s just a reactive dude who wants intimacy with Tutor but doesn’t understand why. A fool, but not a malicious one.

His and Tutor’s kiss scene made me want to start a brawl, lmao. 

Fighter: *kisses Tutor aggressively, without consent*

Me: siiigh, but i understand its a trope

Fighter, with an implied threat: Don’t tell anyone about this

Me: :|

Tutor: * calls Fighter/liking men abnormal, suggests he will out Fighter*

Me: ahh, I see you are also a motherfucker

but throughout this episode, we see Tutor coming to the actual realisation of what is motivating Fighter’s truly weird behaviour, even if Fighter himself hasn’t come to grips with it.

As i was saying to @bloubliette I can get behind bastard idiot/bastard with the capacity for thought and reflection. 

Their end scene was cute, especially Tutor looking at Fighter and having a Kanye moment.

“I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle” 

but instead of a water bottle it’s Fighter.

 Saifah and Zon! My boys!

Love that we got to see more of Saifah this week, his character outside of his flirting and being gleefully irritating towards Zon.

He’s just a big puppy. Maybe because the actual actor is baby, he’s 19 (and still growing wtf the absolute size of this boy??) and it’s his first role, but they aren’t making him stretch beyond a more low key natural character, and it’s absolutely a good thing. He’s so goofy, and harmless. Even though the characters are the same age, Tutor was sort of herding him about. It’s cute. He’s lovely.

Again, I don’t feel any malice from him, and that changes everything about this story. Unlike Fighter, who is in a hell of his own making, Saifah isn’t stressed by why he likes getting reactions from Zon, why it makes him happy. And he immediately catches a fuckin clue. Smart puppy.

Zon. My heart. My dear. He’s so good. He is a comedic treasure. His expressions, his comic timing. Love a short boy going through a sexuality crisis in the dumbest way possible. Cannot wait for him and Saifah to start collaborating.

Even though there was as much extra cast as last time, I feel like they made them work much better then the past two episodes. Scenes didn’t feel crowded.

god this is a fucking novel. Alright, plus and minuses

+ zon getting bullied by his friends into doing the song. it made me laugh a lot. shouting high insoles at him? magic. brutal. also of note was him standing while everyone else hunched over or sat so he was tallest.

- homophobic moments with tutor lmao. i hope its a mistranslation but there’s a difference for me between the comedy bl panic and calling liking men ‘abnormal’. it probably won’t happen again, i take comfort in that

+(ish) look at least zol is asking people if they can be in her RPF, and blue was very enthusiastic

- immediately afterwards she is committing BL crimes. its half a step forward, a kilometre back with the RPF novel writing

+ there was this beautiful moment where Saifah looked almost afraid and said “you fall down easily” about Zon, after he caught him. Fear for his wellbeing? Potential jealousy that Zon could be someone elses? Self reflection? I don’t know what it is, but oddly it was the moment of the episode for me.

+ look i liked the dumbass bathroom mistaken sex bit and I won’t apologise. It was stupid and it made me laugh

- boners and the bare inkling of gay awakening aside, uncool of saifah to be like, i will dooo moooore while naked, and Zon feels trapped. i get it, i know the intent behind it, I know it wasn’t a threat, but its because their dynamic is loud Pomerianian has a Golden Retriever puppy fall in love with it, that it unsettled me.

- Sun better pick up his game, and Fighter better be more honest, because HwaHwa is a good kid, who just wants her bff and the boy she likes to get along, and instead she’s being fucked over.

Most coherent episode so far, character development, and the plot moves on, not too fast, or too slow. Almost despite myself, I like this show. It was satisfying. I hope they have more cameos though, I loved those.

What are Limiting Beliefs

New Post has been published on http://www.limitless-life.club/overcoming-fear-and-limiting-beliefs/

What are Limiting Beliefs

What are Limiting Beliefs?

The two biggest reasons why entrepreneurs fail to even begin, or to overcome obstacles are Fear and Limiting Beliefs.

The quote above is from Jordan Belfort in “The Wolf of Wall Street”, and on the surface, it basically sounds like he is chastising the people that justify their inability to succeed at something with one excuse or another [the story].

But really, it goes much deeper than that, if you really take a moment to think about it.

When it comes to motivating people, there are TWO (2) governing factors:

People Will Do Things to Experience Pleasure.

Or, people Do Things to Avoid Pain.

Within that framework, other “Laws of Behavior”  also operate.  For instance:

The Majority of People are Reactive, rather than Pro-Active.

They will take as much as they can tolerate.

When making a change, they will follow the Path of Least Resistance.

The reason I wanted to lay this out in front of you first is simple.  In order to really understand Limiting Beliefs, you need to understand Motivation.  Keeping in mind the Laws of B, of course.

The Root Cause Of Limiting Beliefs

Our brain has not evolved much in several tens of thousands of years.  We don’t really think that much different from our cavemen ancestors.  We know a lot more, but in terms of thinking, its pretty much the same.  In other words, our logic circuits are still what they used to be in the stone age.

Life was not as easy then, as it is now.  In those days, if you wanted to eat, you had to hunt. By the same token, you had to avoid those who hunted you.  As you aged, you would lose the ability to provide for yourself and your dependents.  People were also more survival-driven (selfish).  The result was very low life-expectancy.  So, from an evolutionary point of view, our brain was primed to trigger self-preservation early-on, through Fear and Pain.

In order to survive, our brains interpret things that we NEED for survival in terms of “pleasure”.  Our bodies, for instance, want to be at a certain temperature.  Too much heat is uncomfortable, and too much cold is uncomfortable.   When we are hungry, it feels uncomfortable.  Fulfilling that need created a feeling of pleasure, which we instinctively want to continue to experience.

Lacking a NEED triggers a form of “pain”.  We then tolerate it, until it reaches our “Action Threshold“, and we do something about it.  Such as showering (vs heat) or covering up (vs cold) or eating (vs hunger).  This is very different than wanting something.  Wanting is when something would be nice, but it can be lived without.  A NEED is a pervasive requirement that demands satisfaction (or prevention).

What is an “Action Threshold”?

Our Action Threshold is the point at which a “Pain Point” can no longer be tolerated.

– C O N T I N U E S –

For instance, the body needs water and energy to survive.  When the body lacks either one, our brain creates a “Pain Point” of hunger and/or thirst.  Then we tolerate it until we cross our “Action Threshold” (usually a stomach grumbling, nausea and headaches) and actively look for nourishment.  All of these pain points are created in our mind to “force” us into an Action.  In this case, to find nourishment, in order to experience pleasure.

Now, the “Action Threshold” may vary from person to person, but it WILL trigger.  At some point.

Now, ignoring the trigger will most likely lead to a rather unpleasant consequence.  And our brain learns from that consequence.  It creates an instinct-level response to the unpleasant consequences it encounters.  It further attempts to spur you into the “Action Threshold” to make you avoid experiencing that pain.  That process is what we call Fear.

Fear: Friend or Foe?

At its most basic level, fear is a good thing.  It ensures we stay safe and alive.  When our minds perceive a threat, fear kicks in.  It triggers something called “Fight or Flight”.  I’m sure you’ve heard the term before.

It basically means, that your mind quickly assesses the threat.  If your mind believes in can overcome it, you will fight.  If your mind believes it cannot, you will flee.  Its basic, primal and  instinctual.

But let me go ahead and propose another axom:

To much of anything, is bad.

Especially Fear.  Fear begins programming the mind, from a very early age.  This fear imposes limits, that your mind continues to believe, long after those limits no longer hold true.

The Limits that Hold You Back Exist Mostly In Your Mind

Take for instance a horse.

When that horse was a baby, he most likely went a “breaking” process to “teach” him the limits that keep them docile and obedient.  At one point he was attach to a metal bar, and the horse did his best efforts to free himself, until he hurt himself.  When he reached that level of pain, Fear taught him: it’s useless to resist.  Don’t even bother.

So now, that horse could be tied to a plastic chair, but in his mind, all the horse knows is that he is tied to something, and thus, he can’t move.  He perceives himself to be tied, and he believes fighting against the rope will cause pain.  So, he has simply stopped trying.

His mind has learned a limiting belief.  How to overcome this?

Breaking a Limiting Belief

Imagine for a moment, our caveman, from the paragraph above.

Bambatta and four men are out hunting wild boar the latest technology available to them:  a thick broken tree branch with a sharp, uneven edge.  They use that to herd and kill wild boar.  Bambatta really, does the hard part, the rest only help herd and then carry the goods.

One day a leopard comes.  Bambatta, the poor fearless bastard, has never fought a leopard before, so he attacks it using the same strategy he uses on the boar.  But the leopard, is fast, can leap, and besides fangs, has terrible claws.  He never stood a chance.

The four men flee and recount the story to the rest of the tribe.  The tribesmen have now just learned a limiting fear: If a leopard comes in, flee.  There is no point in fighting it because if the mighty Bambatta failed, so will we.  What chance have we got?  The leopard is fast, and has fangs and claws that we can’t match.

The tribe has just learned a limiting belief.  The next time a leopard comes, they will flee or hide.  Fighting the leopard is just impossible.  So the tribe elects Karnak, the second strongest to lead the hunting party.  Everytime they run unto a leopard though, the hunt halts, everyone hides or runs.  No one wants to be the leopard’s dinner.  No one will fight it.  It’s just not possible.

Necessity is the Mother of Innovation

It is (impossible), at least until one day, Turok (one of the smaller hunters) asks himself – well what if found a way to have a claw as well?  He sees himself dealing the leopard a mighty blow with a stick that has a hard rock attached to it.  What if I could find a stone with a point, and attach it to a smaller branch (a handle).  Something I could swing and recover from very quickly.  Something that will land a lethal blow if it hits in the right place.  What if?

So Turok works on his new weapon, a hammer until he works out a way to attach the rock to the handle.  When it is ready, he hides it under his furs and off they go.  When the leopard finally shows up, everyone runs to hide.  All except Turok, who produces his hammer and teases the leopard.

So far, the leopard has easily dispatched any and all humans it encounters, so it has no fear of the wiry little caveman in front of him.  It charges, and Turok swings.  A Big thud on the leopard’s skull.  The leopard dies.

And now, just like that, the impossible is now possible.

There will of course, be those who don’t believe the story when they hear it.  Turok killed the leopard?  Rubbish.  T-Rex probably stepped on it and you guys picked it up.

If there is one thing humanity has, is haters have existed as long as heroes have.

But while many won’t believe the tale, the witnesses saw it.  A regular guy, just like any of them achieved the impossible.  And now all of them can see themselves succeeding against the leopard IF they have the same tool that Turok used.

The Limiting Beliefs have now been dispelled.

How Does That Apply To Me?

Think about it for a moment.  From the time we start crawling, our life becomes a long series of “No”.  You can’t do this.  You can’t do that.  Why?  Because I said so.  Life isn’t fair?  Its not supposed to be.  Shut up.  Be quiet.  Don’t complain.

And then school starts, a whole new set of rules and limits are imposed.

Gotta wake up early.  Gotta memorize this.  Gotta pass this test.  Gotta spend hours on homework.  No you can’t have this, no you can’t have that.  If you want to get something, get good grades, so you can get a good job, and you can buy it yourself.

By the time we reach adulthood, we have so many insecurities and limiting beliefs backing us, that is no wonder than 80% of the population is unhappy with their current situation, and only 20% [of the world’s population] is.  And of those 20%, most (80%) only enjoy a comfortable life with broad limits, and only the top 20% live a truly limitless life.  And by the same token, of that original 80% of the population, the bottom 20% live in abject poverty.

Now, why is that?

Because the Only Thing Standing Between You and Your Goal, is the B@#$%^&t story you keep telling yourself.

You may not be aware you are even doing it, but deep down you are.

Subconsciously, your mind imagines the feelings you will have if you try and fail.  Your conscious mind tells you the cost of failure.  And if you happen to open up to someone with your goals and dreams, chances are they will shut you down with their own limiting beliefs as well.

How to Break the Cycle

I will discuss this topic deeper in another article, but for the time being, I am going to gloss over what you need to in order to suspend your Limiting Beliefs.

Take a look at the horse in the image above.  All that horse is seeing, is that he is tied to something, and in the past, if he has tried to resist it, he experiences failure, or pain.  So he tries to avoid it altogether.

The horse is seeing a Limit to his movement, and is refusing to take action (walk away) because in his mind, it is futile to even try.

Now think about a single pain point in your life.  Something that really bothers you.  It might be lack of money, lack of time, or a health issue.  Just figure what is the one thing that bothers you most about your current situation.

Try not to think of it in terms of money.  Everybody needs, or at least wants, money.  And believe me, at the end of the day, and in spite of what everybody says, money does solve a lot of problems.  But I digress.  Big Pain Point.  Specific.

Once you have it, determine how long you have had to live with this particular pain point.  It might be three months, a year, or five.  Then figure assign a rating to that pain point.  We are trying to self-realize exactly how high is that pain point in our life.

At this point, we have a strong pain point that you tolerate, but has you on the edge.  Now imagine that pain point a little worse.  Is it still tolerable?  Now make it a little worse.  Do this until you simply can’t see yourself tolerating it anymore.  What would it take to drive you to take a drastic action to reduce the pain point?  Can you see yourself there?

What emotion is it triggering?  In other words, in the worst case scenario, what is the consequence of this pain point?  Sorrow?  Anger?  Guilt?  Shame?  Physical Pain?

This is your worst fear come to fruition.  This is the scenario that your subconscious brain is trying to protect you from.  Bring it to the fore.  See it consciously.

And now work backwards.  What needs to happen for me not to be here?

This is called an “Exit Strategy” and it is what all successful people do to prepare themselves for worst case scenarios.  They see their worst fear, and then they work… no… they PLOW through it.  They don’t ignore the consequences.  They see their fear in the face.  Then they plan for it.  And then they take action.

Remember, the key thing that successful people know is:

If you continue doing what you have always done, you will continue getting the same results.

Whatever situation you are in right now, is a direct results of habits and decisions you make.  Identify which habits and decisions are taking you to your pain points, and work yourself backwards to figure out which ones need changing, and what changes are needed.

In summary: First, Identify a Limit. Second, Visualize its worst case scenario.  Third, from that point, think backwards, “What needs to happen to avoid this?”, and finally, “Take Action”.

Doing it alone is very difficult, especially if you are unable to step outside of yourself and see yourself, your habits and your actions in an objective manner.  For this reason, I recommend talking to a professional or a Life Coach.
