Do you believe in yourself? Now I want you to think about that question.  Do you REALLY believe in yourself? Do you believe that you are able to do what you want to do and become who you want to become? Most people believe in others, they just don’t believe in themselves.  But the reality is that you will never outperform the way you see yourself.  So if you see yourself as successful then you will tend to rise to that expectation.  If you see yourself as a failure, you will tend to manifest that self prophecy.

I have found that most people believe God can do anything, they just don’t believe God can use them to do anything.  Have you ever had a dream that you felt was totally outrageous and huge? Something that made you excited yet scared? Have you ever felt that you have something within you that could be used for something powerful? I bet you have.  But then what happened? I bet you “came back to reality” and told yourself to scale back or quit being ridiculous.  I bet you had thought that you weren’t THAT GOOD.  I probably told yourself, “You could never have the opportunity to do something like that.”

You know what that type of thinking is? SELF LIMITING BELIEFS.  Self limiting beliefs assassinate your dreams and hopes.  You are only limited by your beliefs.  If you truly believe you cannot achieve greatness, the chances are you won’t.  It is not because God didn’t create you for greatness or that it is not within you, it is that you will not rise above your limiting belief in yourself.  God can do anything through you, but you have to believe you can do it through Him.  Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart so he is.” We are the sum of our thoughts.  We either believe we can do anything through Christ or we don’t.  You cannot believe you can do anything while at the same time not believe you can do something.  Too many people are stuck in their self limiting beliefs. We are governed by fear not faith.  We allow ourself to suppress our dreams and hopes by limiting our belief.

So what is your BS? What is your belief system? Do you believe you can do anything and reach your dreams that God has put in you or do you sabotage your future? Most people live a limited life, while others are rising up and living their dreams.  What is holding you back? I say it is you.  It’s not money, you can make more money if you really wanted to.  It’s not opportunity, you could create more opportunity if you wanted to.  It’s not your job, you could change it if you really wanted to.  You are not a prisoner in life unless you see yourself as a prisoner.  You are free as a bird, so live like it.

Isaiah 40:31

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
