The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 113: You’re Trapped In Your Beliefs
And, as you read the headline you may have thought, “No, I’m not trapped in my beliefs.” If you said no you’re not trapped in your beliefs and if you don’t have what you want in life then yes, you are trapped in your beliefs.
This episode is not a “Rah-Rah, Believe in yourself, You can win” episode. It’s about one thing…what if, what if you didn’t have any beliefs, how would your life be different?
Many years ago, my mentor said to me, “Beliefs are archaic. Beliefs are blinding, and with beliefs you have no clarity.”
In this episode, I talk about what that means and I talk about a more empowering way to think about your beliefs.
Beliefs…such a slippery subject because you even have beliefs about your beliefs, which I talk about in the episode. Yet, our beliefs are unconscious so they generally keep us trapped in life.
Ideally, I’d love to offer you a magic wand to erase all your limiting beliefs but I don’t have that power but I do have the power to give you a new perspective on your beliefs.
With everything that is happening in the world, look around, people are driven by fear, frenzy, anger, and hysteria. And, all of this is driven by beliefs.
On the flip side, some people like me, and maybe you, we’re cool, relaxed, and patient. If you’re this way, you’re being driven by your beliefs.
Your beliefs drive your life.
What’s important in this episode is that you start realizing that your beliefs come from your identity and they unconsciously trap you, and I want you to start seeing through your old traps by asking new questions in life.
Transformational Takeaway: Nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give it.
