793 - Destroying Limiting Beliefs in Less Than 12 Minutes: A Real Conversation Example

Over and over again, I’ve witnessed the power of a single conversation.

Sometimes it happens over the course of an hour or more. Other times, it happens in less than twelve minutes. That’s what you’ll hear in this episode.

Recently, I joined my friend Ray Edwards during one of his live streams. We had no plan for what we would talk about. He invited me into the conversation, and within moments he asked me a simple but profound question:

“Cliff, how do you discover limiting beliefs?”

That question opened the door to a live demonstration of the exact process I use with my clients when we’re dismantling the lies that hold them back.

In this episode, you’ll hear me walk Ray through the four steps required to completely destroy limiting beliefs:

1. Become consciously aware of the limiting belief that’s holding you back.
2. Determine the source of that belief so you can see it was never really yours.
3. Create an empowering alternative belief that aligns with who you truly are.
4. Condition that new belief until it becomes your default way of seeing and experiencing the world.

With Ray, we didn’t just talk theory. We discovered four limiting beliefs in real time. Beliefs that were keeping him from stepping back into his calling of speaking and traveling. Together, we exposed them, reframed them, and replaced them with empowering alternatives.

By the end of the conversation, Ray went from:

• “I’m embarrassed and afraid I’ll be too weak to speak.”

  to

• “I want to go. I want to speak. Let me at 'em!”

And all of that happened in under twelve minutes.

This is the power of awareness, truth, and presence.

But we didn’t stop there.

After the conversation, I took the transcript and turned it into a song.

It’s what I call a Soul Song.

Instead of using affirmations in a document that are easy to set aside, I now condition my empowering beliefs through music. Songs created directly from the conversations where the shift took place.

You’ll hear that song in this episode as well. It’s a living reminder that even in trembling, even in weakness, there is profound strength.

Here’s my hope for you as you listen:

• You’ll see yourself in Ray’s story.
• You’ll recognize the limiting beliefs that may be silently dictating your choices.
• You’ll realize that you don’t have to keep agreeing with them.

I’ll also share with you the exact five journal questions you can use right now to uncover your own limiting beliefs and begin dismantling them.

Because sometimes, one powerful conversation is all it takes to change everything.

If this resonates with you and you’d like to experience a conversation like this for yourself, send me an email at Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com with the subject line: A Single Conversation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The Five Questions

1. What is it that you want to experience in life that you are not currently experiencing?
2. What is one or two things that you already know that you could do to get you closer to living that experience?
3. Why have you not already done this/these things? (Each answer is an excuse (aka Limiting Belief)
4. What is one or two things that you know you already need to stop doing that would get you closer to living that experience?
5. Why have you not already stopped doing this/these things? (Each answer is an excuse (aka Limiting Belief)

Lyrics To The Song:

The Miracle Breaking Through

[Verse 1]
I thought the stage required perfection,
A flawless voice, a steady hand.
But even trembling holds a message,
A deeper truth than I had planned.

[Chorus]
This is strength: to rise while shaking.
This is power: to speak through pain.
Like David Ring, like Nick before me,
My brokenness becomes the flame.
Even if my body falters,
Even if my words are few,
The bedsheet screen, the slides keep shining,
And my presence still breaks through.

[Verse 2]
The old belief said, You’re not able,
Cancel now, you can’t be strong.
But every stutter is an anthem,
Every tremor shines with song.

[Chorus]
This is strength: to rise while shaking.
This is power: to speak through pain.
Like David Ring, like Nick before me,
My brokenness becomes the flame.
Even if my body falters,
Even if my words are few,
The bedsheet screen, the slides keep shining,
And my presence still breaks through.

[Bridge]
It’s not perfection that brings the freedom,
It’s the courage just to be.
Every tremor tells the story,
Of God alive inside of me.

[Final Chorus]
This is strength: to rise while shaking.
This is power: to speak through pain.
I am not weak, I am unbroken,
Every struggle speaks His name.
Even if my body falters,
Even if my words are few,
My voice, my life, my very being Is the miracle breaking through.
