Very often when we sit to write our dreams and to define our real goals we fall into a trap of doubt “that pulls the wool over our eyes”.We start to imagine our dream home, our vehicle or our heavenly business and at the same time the “element of doubt” starts to work secretly…

The moment your dream steps over the boundaries of “the red line” of your brains programming, doubt kicks into action and it quickly distracts you in many clever ways so that you don’t aspire for too much, just so that you don’t jump “above your belly button”… recognise this saying? “Jumping above your belly button” or “jumping above your station”.

 

Of course he didn’t know then what I know…

I told him that I knew where the “lifts” were which is why I can reach any floor I want, if I chose to do so.

When I arrived in Toronto from Los Angeles and I shared my experiences about the business people that I had met… multi millionaires and billionaires… that took me out for a meal and enjoyed my company and I showed him photos… I proved my point.

I took the express lift straight to the 20th floor and yes I did manage to jump above my station! J

I didn’t do this because of ego or a need to prove, but through a wholehearted belief in a new world that opened up before me…a world where I have the ability to create for myself the desired reality through the willpower of my intent and imagination.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because I also have “fallen” and not once, into the trap of doubt that tries to keep us below “the belly button”.

I have changed goals that I have really wanted to reach with “pretend” goals, goals in second or third place and why?

Because those goals are “as if” the “big thing” and they are achievable in my opinion with certainty.

I will give you some examples…

I know people that their dream is a villa in the city with a garden, but their doubt has told them:

“The prices are so expensive…There is no way I can reach this goal…where will I even get the money from…I am not destined to such a level etc…”

Without even being aware, this internal dialogue has replaced their big dream with a second choice dream that pretends to realize their real dream.

They finally purchased a villa further away from the city, in places where they didn’t really want to live in and that were never part of their dream.

And only because the price to move away from the city is more realistic for them and isn’t a “jump above the belly button”.

It’s true that there are people that this is their exact dream, to live in these places, and when this is so then there is no problem.

But when you swap a desire from first to second place based on an internal dialogue of a lack of belief in your ability to realize what you want, this is not ok.

At some point it will rise above the surface and they will understand that they have compromised so that not to jump above their station, in order to suit themselves to the boundaries of what they thought they are able to achieve.

Everyone has to pay attention to the goals he compromises on… because although it is realistic and logical to stay within the limits of what you can afford, at the same time you are strengthening your lack of belief, your inner doubt that you are unable and will not be able to reach the quality things that you really aim to get… so in the meantime you will settle for fakes and “pretend” games.

What is the problem with these fakes? The problem is that on the whole you don’t need them from the start.

It’s not something you really want; it’s just a cover up for the things you really want to achieve.

There is an inner system being created here that will limit you also in the future.

So what can be done?

One must be aware from the beginning, during the process of writing your goals, in the process of creating your vision.

Simply, imagine for a moment that you have all the money that you need in order to finance your dreams…

Now, from the above point of view, what do you really want to achieve?

Without compromise, and on the other hand without exadurating…

 Look inside. What do you want to achieve? Not what can you achieve, what do you want?

What are the things that your heart really desires?

The moment that you are sure about what you want, this is your starting point.

Write exactly that in your vision board, and work on this with all your enthusiasm and might.

Because only when you will be in harmony with your heart, only when you are directed to the things that you really want to achieve.

When you work in harmony with your heart, you create a power that is unstoppable.

You simply start to move forward more and more…

When you do this, you will not be the first. An endless number of success stories can confirm that this is the complete truth.

Don’t chase after imitations that your doubt is suggesting to you as trade- ins, don’t give in to mediocre, don’t listen to your voice and the voice of others that claim that it is not possible to jump above the belly button, maybe they can’t but you can!

Your belly button is a pattern, the limits that your parents and the society which you have grown up in have put in place for you.

These are their limits not yours.

There are no limits beyond the limits that you place for yourself.

When you follow the things that your heart desires, you are heading in the right direction.

You will not find any height restrictions there, you will be able to jump and take off to wherever your heart desires

If you believe…
