Dr. Ken Onu – ALIVE , AWAKE, ALERT & AWARE!

This is one of the great wonders of the world.

If you were to take a goldfish out of a fishbowl in your home and let it go free in a big pond or lake, you would be very surprised to see that the goldfish would continue to swim in a small circle roughly the size of your fish bowl at home.

Now, why is it so, you may ask?

Because, while in the fishbowl, whenever the goldfish tried to swim further, it would bump into the glass.

After doing this for so many times it would invariably give up trying to swim further.

The goldfish now believes that this is how it has always been and that it is not possible for it to be any other way.

This has now become the belief of the goldfish.

We human beings are no different.  Our beliefs have become so ingrained in us that we decide in our subconscious mind that something is not possible and of course that is what becomes our reality.

Questioning our beliefs means that we have to question our own limitations.

If they serve us then all is fine and if they don’t serve us then it is time to replace them with beliefs that do.

Some of the biggest ” popular beliefs” out there is that it is very difficult to make money, It is very

difficult to get out of debt, we need money to make money, it’s so difficult to be successful in a recession or that the challenges we have are too difficult to surmount.

We’re still thinking like the goldfish even though we are free.

Bob Marley says ” Emancipate yourself from mental slavery”.

Look at your hands -do you see any shackles?  Look at your feet are they tied together?

What is holding you back?  Your limiting beliefs of course.  Your limitations are set by your beliefs.

Most people want to know: ” How can one tell for sure if what one believes is true or not?”.

The question to ask is really simple:

1.  How does this belief serve me?

2.  Is this belief moving me towards my dreams and aspirations?

3.  Or is this belief moving me away from my dreams and aspirations?

There is a Turkish proverb that paraphrased says : if you are on the wrong road turn back.

Here is this week’s to do list:

Look at the three questions above and ask yourself:

Is what I am thinking and feeling moving me towards or away from my dreams and aspirations?

Is how I am behaving moving me towards or away from my dreams and aspirations?

Are the results of my actions moving me towards or away from my dreams and aspirations.

Think about this and see what you need to change to get back on track towards those dreams

So get out of the fishbowl and live!
