Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level
Gay Hendricks
In 'The Big Leap,' Gay Hendricks addresses the concept of the Upper Limit Problem, where individuals subconsciously sabotage their own success and happiness due to deep-seated fears and limiting beliefs. The book introduces four zones of activity: the Zone of Incompetence, Zone of Competence, Zone of Excellence, and Zone of Genius. Hendricks emphasizes the importance of identifying and operating in the Zone of Genius, where one combines what they love doing with what they are exceptionally good at. He also outlines four common hidden barriers to success: feeling fundamentally flawed, fear of disloyalty and abandonment, believing more success brings a bigger burden, and the fear of outshining others. The book provides practical advice on overcoming these barriers, embracing continuous growth, and achieving a balance between professional success and personal fulfillment.
This week, I’m unpacking how to evolve through changing conditions in our lives rather than trying to change ourselves. The more you give, the more you need, and I want to talk through how you can start your own personal upgrade in three simple steps.
Let’s dig into what makes you feel more alive, how to uncover those creative solutions when you’re feeling stuck, and why naming your goal gets you one step closer to achieving it. I know you’ll find this episode of Art2Life invaluable for setting your intentions for the year ahead.
