Our Biggest Roadblock As A Human: Embracing Our Upper Limits

Have you ever considered that amidst our quests for success, the most significant obstacle we face might be our own internal limits? It's an intriguing thought—one that challenges us to look inward at our responses to prosperity and well-being.

Confronting Our Upper Limit

Gay Hendricks, author of The Big Leap, introduces us to the concept of the upper limit—our subconscious ceiling for how much happiness, success, and love we believe we deserve. It's an internal thermostat setting that, when exceeded, can lead us to self-sabotage, pulling us back into the realm of the familiar and comfortable.

Lately, as I've navigated a series of professional highs, engaging client work, and personal happiness, I've felt an undercurrent of anxiety. The fear of losing it all or the apprehension of becoming too comfortable loomed large. It dawned on me: feeling "good" can sometimes feel strangely uncomfortable.

Embracing Curiosity Over Judgment

What if, instead of recoiling at the brink of our successes, we leaned into them with curiosity? Imagine the growth and fulfillment awaiting us if we dared to push beyond the boundaries we've unconsciously set for ourselves.

Reflect: When have you recently surpassed your own expectations?
Observe: What emotions surface in response to your achievements?
Question: How can embracing curiosity lead you to uncharted territories of your potential?
