In this episode, I will discuss the five mental barriers that can hold you back and keep you from living a fulfilling life. As we talk about these five mentalities, we'll share insights and strategies to help you overcome them.

It's about recognizing these patterns in yourself and actively working to change them. Join us as we uncover these obstacles and pave the way for a life full of meaning and fulfillment. 

Key Takeaways:

- The “Take What I Can Get” Mentality - While it might be easy to slip into this mentality, especially depending on one's background and upbringing, it is crucial to recognize the importance of the freedom of choice and the opportunity for personal growth and change.

- The Epidemic of Settling - If we always accept what is given to us without questioning or striving for more, we might miss out on better opportunities or what truly fulfills us. 

- The “When I Get to a Certain Place, Then Things Will Change” Mentality - The belief that significant changes will only occur when we reach a specific level of success or wealth is a common mindset and can be deceptive. It creates an illusion that progress is only possible under certain conditions.

- The Fear of Disappointing Others - The fear of saying no and letting others down can hold us back from living a fulfilled and luxurious life. But if we understand how this fear affects us and prioritize being true to ourselves and taking care of ourselves, we can live a life full of happiness, joy, and abundance. 

- “Living by Others' Stories” Mentality - When you live by others' stories, you limit yourself to their experiences and beliefs. You might think that because something didn't work out for them, it won't work out for you either. But the truth is, everyone's journey is different, and what works for one person may not work for another.

- The mindset of Lack - This mindset manifests in thoughts like "This won't work for me," "I would never do this," or "Why bother?" It's a limiting belief that holds you back from experiences and opportunities, convincing you that certain things are out of reach or not worth pursuing.

- “Not Believing in God and His Words” Mentality - Believing in God at His word is not merely an intellectual exercise but a transformative journey of faith. By embracing the living, breathing truth of scripture and inviting the Holy Spirit to illuminate its meaning, we unlock a pathway to fulfillment and abundance.


Notable Highlights:
"I shouldn't just keep getting what it is that I feel is available to me. I can be more choosy with what I want. I can take a little bit more time to discover what it is that I like."

"If you want to see results later on in your life, you have to start today. In order to build well for whatever it is that you want to do with your money in the future, you have to start today."

"I need to communicate what I can and cannot do and it may disappoint people, but I have to do it because I want to give my heart to help, but I want to do it in a way that is helpful that I don't have a grudge in my heart."

"Sometimes we have to listen when people talk and say to ourselves, that doesn't have to be my story. And even if it's happened, generation after generation, it doesn't have to be my story."

"A new experience opens up your mind, taking away the mental baggage of what you thought was, and brings you into a new place of what could be. So, don't limit yourself."
