This ONE Thing Is Holding You Back
5 Apr 2019 · 0 min
Dean Graziosi argues that limiting beliefs are what hold people back from the next level. He uses Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile to show how changing what you believe possible changes what you can actually do.
What if there was just one thing that was holding you back from that level of life? Love, abundance, joy, wealth, income that you desired.
With all the opportunities that exist today, why haven't you reached your next level of income, life and wealth? In most cases, we've been lied to. We've been told that if you find the right opportunity and you work hard, you can be successful. And that's simply not true. Millionaires, billionaires and successful people have realized you need the foundation for wealth, the habits. And that's exactly what you'll be learning on the Millionaire Success Habits podcast.
All success starts here. What could that one thing be that's holding you back? Did you ever hear the story of Roger Bannister? Roger Bannister was the first person to break the four minute mile. I don't know if you know that, most people do, but here's what they said. They said it was scientifically impossible for the human, per, the human being, a human body, to run a four minute mile. And then he broke it. Now here's the crazy part. In 18 months or no, no, in 12 months, 18 more people broke the four minute mile. So the whole time, throughout history, let's just think about that. I'm gonna stop here for a minute and talk to you. Throughout the history of time, no one broke the four minute mile. And then all of a sudden one guy does, Roger Bannister, and in the next year, 18 people do it. What change? Did the human body evolve just overnight in 12 months? No, what changed was that one thing, and that's belief. When Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile, people now said, if he could do it, I could do it. Their belief changed nothing else. So in so many cases you don't realize it, that you're gaining the knowledge, you gain the wisdom, you're excited about more, you want to tap into that next level of life. Love, abundance, joy, income, profits, whatever it is you desire. But maybe, maybe there's just this little belief hanging on inside of you that says you're not worthy, you're not smart enough, you don't have the time. That's for other people. You have more obstacles than other people. You have more challenges than other people. Whatever that belief is, is your reality. People believe throughout time that you can't run a four minute mile. Once they said, once Roger Bannister did it, people changed their belief and they crushed it. I'd like you to analyze yourself, your thoughts, your thinking, your story, and see what it is your beliefs are. What is it that's holding you back without even realizing it's so easy for us. And I'm not saying you're a blamer. You're blaming the president. You're blaming your wife, your husband, your surroundings, your parents. I'm not saying that's who you are. I mean, can those pieces be obstacles in your life? Absolutely. We all have that. But I'd really love for you to spend this week analyzing what your beliefs are. When you're having a frustrating day, when you're staying in a relationship that's killing you, when you're staying in a job that's draining you and not giving you any joy, when you're in a hypnotic rhythm of the day and just say, maybe this is the best life can be. Usually what's standing between you and the life you deserve and desire is the belief you have, the story you have, the thoughts you have. You know, I said this in my long training last weekend. I said it on stage. I said it at the growth event. I said it at Tony's event is sometimes, and in my opinion, in most times, what's standing between you and your next level of life is simply your belief. Now, you might be saying Dean, but you don't know what I'm going through. I've tried. I've done other things and I know that. Listen, I'm not going to pretend to know what you're going through in life. I'm not going to pretend to know your obstacles and your pains and what's holding you back. But I also know that I've been blessed to touch the lives of millions of people around the world. And I've spoken to thousands and thousands of my students around the world. I've read tens of thousands of posts and we all kind of have our stuff. We all have pains and obstacles, some way worse than others. But those that go to the next level, those that achieve at the highest level possible, are the ones that find a way to believe they can. They change their beliefs. We're not all born with these abundant beliefs of never ending and I could accomplish anything. No, we find a way to create new beliefs. We raise our standards. We raise our values. We raise our desires. We create a new, compelling, compelling future for ourselves bigger than our current existence. And when we do that, we realize that these beliefs that were holding us back are not strong enough. They're not big enough to hold us, hold the caged animal in anymore. Are you going to let that belief have another year, 5, 10, 20 years go by without you at least trying to have that other. That next level. No, don't let it happen. So this is just a wake up call, a reminder that you deserve more if you desire more. If you're watching this video, if you watch any of my stuff, you know that I believe all of us can. Next level is right around the corner. And sometimes your next level is on the other side of your obstacle. The other side of the thing you've been ignoring. The other side of that belief that tells you you shouldn't shift that belief. Find out why that belief isn't true. Get an empowering, compelling reason to move forward. And watch. When you look back in a year, you're like, that belief I had was nothing. It held me back for five years. Now it's gone.
