The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 81: You Cannot Outperform Yourself
How often have you set goals or wanted something badly only to find that you fail over and over in achieving it?
If you can say yes to the line above, you’re not alone, this is the pattern for most people and the cause is simple, people are setting goals for things that are not in their self-image. People are trying to perform at levels that are outside their self-image and subconscious identity.
Many years ago I remember hearing the motivational speaker Les Brown said, “You cannot operate outside of the context of the vision you have for yourself.” Which basically means, you cannot be, do or have what you are not.
In this episode I talk about:
- [1:24] What your self-image is and how it was created
- [2:21] The cycle of self-identity reinforcement
- [5:57] The illusion of self-image
- [15:53] Why you’ll never live up to your full potential
- [27:22] How to reverse engineer your life from the inside out
- [31:01] And, How nothing in your life will change until you change
There’s an old Tibetan saying, “What you are on the inside is what you are on the outside.” If you want more in your life you must BE more in life.
There is absolutely no escape from this concept. You must first be it in your mind before you can have it in your life.
Transformational Takeaway: You cannot outperform yourself!
