The Fate Of Limiting Self Beliefs

Some of you might be familiar with the fable of the chicken farmer and the eagle egg. In this story the chicken farmer found an eagle egg and took it home to hatch on his farm. The eagle eventually hatched and lived among the chickens who resided on the farm. He acted just like they did. The chickens believed he was one of their own and so did he.

One day the eagle noticed a bird flying high above him in the sky. He was very impressed. “Who is that?” he asked the chickens around him.

“That’s an eagle, they are the kings of all birds,” the chicken told him. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth, we are just chickens.”

The eagle had only been able to fly very short distances like the other chickens. He thought that was what he was supposed to do. So that was all that he thought he could do. As a consequence, that was all he was able to do.

Ultimately the eagle lived his life as a chicken and died as a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.

Makes you think, right? What thoughts of are own are stopping us from being our best selves?

Just like the eagle, limiting beliefs can have a number of negative effects on you. They could keep you from making good choices, taking new opportunities, or reaching your potential. Ultimately, limiting beliefs can keep you stuck in a negative state of mind and hinder you from living the life you truly desire.

It is time to identify which of your thoughts are stunting your growth. Then I want to encourage you today to think like you are an eagle. You might have experienced certain circumstances in life that have made you think in these ways, but now is the time to spread your wings and realize your potential. Opportunities in this life are endless and are in abundance. Your ability to obtain your desires relies on your daily mindset and beliefs.

The moral of the story is, don’t live your whole life thinking you’re a chicken. Become what you are truly meant to be, your authentic self.

Do you have a bad relationship with money and your thoughts will not allow you to think one day you will be wealthy?
Have you tried every diet in the book and still feel like you can never lose the weight you want? Worse, have you accepted that thought as reality?
Is school work challenging for you and do you believe studying and learning are things that aren't meant for you?

These are just some examples of limiting beliefs. These are thoughts that we truly believe are accurate and they in one way or another are restricting us from growth. A limiting belief is a state of mind, conviction, or belief that you think to be true that limits you in some way. This limiting belief could be about you, your interactions with other people, or with the world and how it works.

The moral of the story is, don’t live your whole life thinking you’re a chicken. Become what you are truly meant to be, your authentic self.
