The Lie You Believe That Keeps You Settling For Less Than You Deserve

Lies.

There are a few things that can hold us back from living the life we want. And none are more hindering than the thoughts we allow to limit the actions we take. The worst part about these thoughts is that they’re lies! They create inner conflicts that keep us from the life we desire and convince us that we don’t deserve better.

In my experience as a life coach over the years nothing can create a bigger breakthrough in someone’s life than the identification and replacement of these inner conflicts. In my own life, that has certainly been the case. Because I want you to be limitless in your pursuit of the future that fulfills you, let’s take the lid off.

The lie you believe that keeps you settling for less than you deserve is at the core of every failure and hesitation in your life. It showed itself as a truth when you were young and needs to be exposed as false. Your future depends on it.

The #1 Reason You Aren’t Living The Life of Your Dreams

We all have dreams for how we want our lives to turn out. We envision the world we want as us doing what we love, with the love of our lives, and giving love to the world around us in big and life-changing ways. Then, reality sets in. We get a job to pay the bills, we walk into a life we didn’t expect or plan for and, before we know it, we’re settling for far less than our heart’s desire.

Not Living Your Dreams?

What’s worse? We give up on our dreams. We stop thinking about what could be and start settling for what is. We stop demanding that the world change for the better and start living as a slave to the demands the world has placed on us.

As a life coach, I see this storyline play out over and over again with every single client (and, of course, in my own life). There is really only one reason we don’t live the life of our dreams. Only one reason we give up on the life that we want and settle for the life that we have. It’s the thing that holds our greatness hostage and keeps us from achieving success in every single endeavor…

Getting Comfortable With Pain

Pain. It’s an interesting word, isn’t it? For some, it means suffering and anguish mentally and physically. For others, it means the opportunity to grow past the discomfort into something better. Which person are you?

No Pain No Gain

For most of my life, I’ve avoided pain. I liked the idea of being loved, but I didn’t like the pain of the uncertain outcome on the other side of becoming vulnerable in relationships. I liked the idea of changing, but I avoided the pain of the process to become who I wanted to be. I liked the idea of bringing order to my world of chaos but avoided the potential pain of the loss of things in my life that wouldn’t make the cut.
