Do You Argue For Your Limitations?

“When you give up the arguments for your limitations you gain the momentum in the positive.” — Abraham Hicks

Have you ever thought about momentum in the context of your life?

How you can have one small thing happen in the morning which leads to a series of events throughout the day that gave you evidence of your morning decision that it was going to be a bad day?

I know that was a mouthful but, before I was aware of the ‘law of attraction’; I am pretty sure I did this.

Letting one small perceived negative thing be the evidence of my entire day.

So how do you change it?

Easily, don’t give momentum to it.

Let me give you an example.

As I went thru the checkout line the other day, the cashier dropped a couple of items while bagging my groceries.

She sighed and stated she has been having a bad day because she has been dropping stuff all day.

I replied with a smile:

“My best friend and I call that kind of days ‘oopsy’.”

“Oopsy?” She questioned with a smile.

“Ya,” I continued with a slight chuckle. “Can’t sweat the small stuff.”

The cashier believed and decided that she was going to have a bad day because she dropped something in the morning.

She kept speaking about having a bad day with her co-workers and customers thus, giving momentum to her bad day.

Until a pattern interrupt up came along, in the way of laughter.

I left, and she repeated our conversation with co-workers about my silly word for dropping things. After her shift, she went home and repeated the story to her family. Taking note that after she uses ‘oops’ she stopped dropping stuff. She made light of the perceived negative situation.

That workday ended up being joyful.

The cashier stopped giving momentum to her bad day.

I love the lesson here.

So many of us don’t even realize that we are arguing for our limitations.

Have you ever said I would like to do that BUT?

That is a classic example of limiting yourself.

I was chatting to a friend the other day about an opportunity that was presented to him for this summer.

This opportunity would bring him closer to his family and friends that he hasn’t seen since the pandemic.

Which is what he desired.

It was an advancement in his field. And it was more money.

Yet, every time he told me a positive about this opportunity a BUT accompanied the statement.

I never said a word and let him talk.

When he was done, he had talked himself out of accepting the opportunity.

Why?

His ‘BUT’ argument was too strong.

He was approaching the situation in a mindset swirling in his limited beliefs.

After he was done speaking, I asked him to do 2 things for me.

1. Close his eyes, take some deep breaths and imagine himself in August (the job starts this May).

2. Then describe his life to me if he took the job (with his eyes closed).

I asked him to give details one what his life would look like.

How would he feel?

What would he see?

You see, I knew that he wanted the change and after letting him give me all the reasons why not, I asked him to tap into the result of why yes.

He took the job.

Neville Goddard teaches has taught me to see things from the result.

And it is so fun to do.

Once I started seeing the result of saying yes and allowing the Universe to bring me my desire.

Well…let’s just say, my cheeks hurt from smiling.

There is magic when you stop giving momentum to can’t; in your life.

There is a feeling of power when you start adjusting the dial to the vibration of the unlimited you.

There are many ways one can argue for their limitations.

I went out and purchased a bunch of courses that have nothing to do with my path.

It was a program of ‘I am not good enough’ which manifested with ‘I am not smart enough’.

Yes, there are things that I would like to learn.

However, learning out of fear? Is that a good approach?

Probably not.

I never finished those purchased classes.

Some things are not in my wheelhouse.

I have learned to be okay with that.

The word ‘can’t’ isn’t a shackle to me.

I don’t give momentum to it.

Just because something isn’t in my wheelhouse, is no longer perceived as a weakness.

I have learned to start doing.

To have trust in the vision of my life.

I have learned to just start.

To surf the unfolding.

Learning what I need to learn the time I when I need to learn it.

To let stop agreeing on why I can’t.

Falling in love with why I can.

Just imagine what kind of magic will appear in your life if you stop using arguing for the limitations of your dreams.

Thank you for letting me share.

Be kind. Be well. Smile.
