No matter what your limiting belief might be, that circumstance might be true in the moment, but there is always another way of looking at problems and circumstances so that you can call forth more resourcefulness and creativity than you thought you had.
And remember, while your circumstances might not be ideal, who you really are is FAR greater than that. Circumstances never ultimately dictate how far in life we go on their own.
Rather, it is how we respond to our circumstances that determines our path.
We are always responsible for how we respond to life. So the question is, if you are experiencing limits in your life, how are you responding? Are you responding with a more limited view, or can you broaden your horizons and see that in this moment there is a greater opportunity for more creativity and resourcefulness than you thought you had?
And if that were true, what would you do?
Where do you standards come from ,what messages from the co-dependant media influence your life.The media sets the standard of what is desirable to people. We then take inventory of our life and place the measurement. self-esteem, groups and hate Children are targeted-toys to own, cereal to eat, styles to wear...the better the brand the happier the child. Teenagers are targeted--looks, size, popularity, any issue that they may be struggling with is fair game for the media. Women are targeted--look younger, thinner, better, do more. Men are targeted--bigger toys, bigger biceps. Any issue that any group may be struggling with is fair game for the media. Research marketing spend millions tracking down our insecurities, only to turn those insecurities around to try and make a sale. Do you feel failure as a homemaker? Then check out magazines like Better Home...well, you know...to reinforce the fact that yours isn’t quite good enough. Or Glamour....always something to strive for isn’t there. And what does this do for your self esteem? Esteem is the value that we place in something. Self esteem, the value we place in our self, is usually measured by how much we think we are desirable to other people. We measure our characteristics that we have against how they are accepted socially and also how they help us to be accepted socially. If we think that a certain characteristic will help us socially then we perceive it to have a high value. This is all based on our own set of beliefs and opinions. Now we can see how self esteem and media flow together. The media sets the standard of what is desirable to people. We then take inventory of our life and place the measurement.
