Let’s say that at some point in your life, you found a way to cope with something.
At that moment, it worked—it helped you survive!
But remember, that solution was designed to help an 8-year-old child navigate the world.
And yet, today, you still tell yourself, “I can’t cook, I could never be a homemaker, I’m only cut out for a career,”—without realizing that these beliefs were born from a child’s need to make sense of things.
The decisions you made to protect yourself became a system, a blueprint for how you navigate life.They created results, and those results became proof that your method worked.But there’s a catch—once we find something that seems to work, we stick to it, thinking it’s the answer.We close ourselves off to other options, convincing ourselves that this is who I am and this is who I am not.
But remember, the one who said “this is all I can do” was just a child trying to make sense of the world.There are countless other choices waiting for you.Because you are not just what you are—you are also everything you could be.
What have you been telling yourself you cannot do? What if you chose to see it differently?
