Do you have any experience with that tiny voice whispering doubts in your ear, limiting your dreams and aspirations? A voice that clings to past failures, holding you back from reaching your full potential? A voice that subtly suggests you’re not good enough, not capable enough, or simply not destined for anything good?
This inner critic is a common human experience, and what it demonstrates is our deeply held beliefs about who/what we are. Our beliefs, in the form of our inner narratives, dictate our lives, our actions and the goals that we allow ourselves to reach for.
Oprah’s message for us today is about the importance of belief in ourselves.
“Dream the biggest dream for yourself. Hold the highest vision of life for yourself.” – Oprah Winfrey
“You only have to believe that you can succeed, that you can be whatever your heart desires, be willing to work for it, and you can have it.” – Oprah Winfrey
“You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, “You can’t.” Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.” – Oprah Winfrey
“You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.” – Oprah Winfrey
“Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create.” – Oprah Winfrey
It’s easy to listen to what Oprah says and go, “yes but it’s Oprah! And I can’t compare myself to Oprah!”
This is not about being like Oprah or pretending you can do what Oprah does but about paying attention to that little voice inside which has a tendency to keep you small. The little voice that points out every “failure” from your past as proof of what you “can’t” achieve in the future.
It doesn’t matter who or what you stand next to, this little voice will find reasons for why you are not worthy.
We don’t want to go to war with this little voice, because being at war with any part of ourselves is unproductive. But we do need to grow our belief in our abilities, and today’s meditation is a clear demonstration of how your ability to create is literally LIMITLESS, how there are ways in which you can create, that you haven’t even discovered yet!
You don’t have to be like Oprah, but I’d LOVE you to come to the realisation that you have potential that you have not recognized yet!
To embrace your limitless potential, consider these thoughts:
- Embrace Your Uniqueness: Recognize that you are a unique individual with unique gifts and talents.
- Cultivate Self-Belief: Believe in yourself, even when others doubt you.
- Step Outside Your Comfort Zone: Challenge yourself to try new things and embrace uncertainty.
- Practice Gratitude: Focus on the positive aspects of your life, and express gratitude for what you have.
- Visualize Your Success: Imagine yourself achieving your goals and living your dreams.
You can choose to be identified with your circumstances, or be identified with your possibilities. The ways in which you can express yourself are literally limitless, so dare to dream big, believe in yourself, and take action. The journey may be challenging, but you deserve to create a future that is filled with joy, abundance, and purpose.
