3 limiting beliefs keeping you from breaking free
from your cage

1. You don’t think it’s possible.

Is it really NOT possible? Or are you just telling yourself it's not possible? You hold the key to
your cage. If you dig deep enough, and think hard enough about it, you will realize that it IS
possible, you just don’t believe it to be true, or you are too lazy or too scared. But it IS
possible. So the way to break through this limit, is to just simply tell yourself IT IS
POSSIBLE. Tell yourself and believe it to be true, because if you don’t, then you will never try.

2. You are too lazy

You might not want to make this change because you are simply too lazy. But can you afford
to be lazy when this thing is weighing down on your whole life? When it’s draining your energy
and eating away at your soul? Laziness is not an option when the stakes are so high. If it's
between being lazy and staying enslaved or getting into action and breaking free, then the
obvious choice is to take action. Also, people often believe about themselves that they are
lazy. This is a limiting belief. No one is lazy. They are lazy about certain aspects of their lives
if they are not motivated, excited or passionate about them. But when they are passionate
about something and have a strong enough reason for doing it, then they suddenly get
motivated. So the way to break through this limiting belief is to tell yourself why you need to
break free of your cage and how it is going to improve your life, and you will instantly get
motivated.

3. You are too scared

This is probably the biggest limitation of all. Good ole fear. Fear is good because it keeps us
out of danger, but when we let fear lead the way in non-life-threatening situations, such as
changing jobs or leaving an unhealthy relationship, then we let fear control our lives. So the
way to break through this limitation is to identify the worst that can happen if you make this
change. Identify the challenges, the worst case scenarios, and the things that scare the heck
out of you. And then ask yourself: are these good enough reasons to keep me in my current,
unhappy situation? Are they good enough reasons to keep me from finding true fulfillment? If
the answer is no, then let your purpose, which is stronger and more powerful than your fear,
lead the way from now on. Yes, you will face uncomfortable situations, but it won’t kill you,
it’ll just make you wiser and happier.

Now let’s identify your cage and break through it once and for all!

Your cage refers to that which suffocates you, limits you, smothers you, holds you back, makes you feel like
you’re imprisoned and/or keeps you stuck. In this context, it is a physical cage such as a life situation or
something that you have the power to change. It is something that will require physical action from you.
