PURPOSE Winnie Mabena | Author and Founder of The Knowledge Effect
One of the things I struggled with in my journey to walk past life challenges was mindset change. I struggled thinking about the possibility not because it was not possible but because I had set a limit for myself as I was riding on limiting beliefs. I was thinking that starting up my dream project needed to be done from a beautiful place and the time right for it is when I have all the money in my palms. I did not realize that perfection comes as you go... Clarity of purpose is gradual. I had a lot of I don’t, I can’t, I am, I do statements which defined me and my capabilities setting a limit to what I can do and not do. I judged myself by setting a level and standard of what I deserve and don’t deserve. I didn’t realize I had put a limitation to what I aught to seek in this life. I was bound by the beliefs, traditions and values I was born into. Being born in a society and culture that had less value for girls, I thought there was a certain level of success I aught to reach out for. I did not deserve to be so educated because no man will marry me. To make everything worse, learning that I was HIV Positive at the age of 16 made me set more limits to life. I thought I needed not to be around certain people or be in certain places for fear of being rejected or ridiculed. My beliefs developed into thoughts and actions that deduced likely actions from the universe and the places I walked into. This was because I often guessed what others thought about me thinking through their theory of mind. Most of these thoughts were so wrong. They were but just constraints, limiting my potential.
These are nothing but mindset issues that birth limiting beliefs and we can do away with them by making a choice on what to think about. Do you know that you are rich yourself, especially with resources from within? You have a choice on what to think about.
We often love to guess what will or may happen due to our past experiences, education, logic, fear and the media (especially with regards to how we look – beauty myths). Holding on to such guesses or beliefs usually takes us on a journey to live below our potential without realising that our lives are being impoverished. We often allow anxiety, temper, depression and anger to ruin our day due to the events that occur without appreciating that we have the power to control our emotions, feelings and thoughts. We have the power to question the beliefs and assess if they are worth keeping or they are wrong facts that will hinder us from Living our 365 dream life and living positively. Limiting beliefs have the power to make us filter information in line with what we so believe. I remember how I once felt that writing a book was only for English A+ students. I realized that a lot of us struggle with living a positive life because we think a positive lifestyle is for the rich or it demands you to live a certain type of life that society defines as a successful life.
Thus we need to develop a positive mindset to let our emotions be mellow and steady by speaking Positivity into all circles of our lives. We must control our thoughts by thinking of the possibilities, our achievements, the success, the good memories and let these drive us to crush our goals and live our dream life. We must begin to grow into a person that only thinks about the things that make us feel better, good and great. Understanding that beliefs and what we think of define our behaviour. The next time you think about what it is you want to achieve, try to become aware of the inner constraints holding you back and your limiting beliefs and challenge them with Positive thoughts which are worth dwelling on. I urge you to clean your mind and embrace positivity... Look deeper into the situation and cultivate the good by asking yourself; what is it that I did not learn then, that I need to learn now? Be positive!
