Do any of these sound familiar to you?
“I’m not good at math”
“I’m just not good at making relationships at work”
“I don’t see myself becoming a VP of the company”
“I’m just not a good presenter”
or, the ever popular…
“I’m not as pretty/popular/(plug in any verbiage here) as the other kids”
These statements have a few things in common:
1.) they all begin with “I”
2.) they are all negative
3.) they are all Self Limiting Beliefs (SLB’s)
Self Limiting Beliefs are destructive, anti-prospering phrases that are very commonplace anywhere you go. You hear it at work, in schools, and sadly, in family homes. SLB’s bring no value, no increase, and nothing good.
As a family dad, it is your duty to root out any SLB’s from your surroundings – especially at home. If you catch yourself saying these things, remember that what you think and say will eventually become a reality.
Also, remember that your kids and those around you are paying attention. It may not seem like it sometimes! But the truth is that in time you will hear it back.
Instead, replace the destructive SLB’s with clear, specific, positive statements such as:
“I am an excellent problem solver”
“I enjoy meeting and helping people”
“I am prosperous in everything I do”
“I am a strong, healthy, faithful, generous, prosperous, successful, and happy Family Dad and Man of God.”
See the difference? Continue thinking of other declarations…can you think of a way to make it a game for the kids?
