The YES Effect

TYE 119: The only thing stopping you from achieving your goals


Listen Later

There's only ONE thing stopping you from achieving the goals and dreams you truly want to achieve: your beliefs. If we resign to "I'm not capable" or "it's never been done" then we let our perception win. But a belief can't stop you. Period. A belief in a limitation is more powerful than the limitation itself.

It's exactly how mathematician George Dantzig ended up solving the "unsolvable" math problem: he was late to a college lecture and mistakenly took an example of a problem that had never been solved for a homework assignment (full story in this episode). The story inspired a scene in the Academy Award-winning movie Good WIll Hunting and has become a famous example of the power of positive thinking and what one can accomplish when they're unaware of what's been labeled "impossible" by others.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why we unconsciously talk ourselves out of things
  • The first thing you should do when you find yourself trapped with a limiting belief
  • The difference between people who achieve dreams and those who wish they did (it's nothing personal)
  • The best thing to do when you stumble or get stuck on your journey
  • How to completely eliminate a limiting belief
