Limiting Beliefs:

'Argue your limitations and they are yours forever.'

Limiting beliefs are beliefs imposed by your 'un-conscious' mind. You don't have a lot of control here, they just are. Some are easier to spot like 'I'm not a good singer' or 'I'm no good at public speaking' or 'Big dogs want to eat me... and little ones will try too.' Other limiting beliefs affect all areas of your life, especially financially. Finances reflect all your beliefs about self-worth and scarcity in your life and the world. You can choose to believe in 'Economic alchemy' or in 'allocation of scarce resources.'

You won't make a penny over what you feel you are worth or deserve. You may not be conscious of these types of beliefs but there is a way to learn what they are, where they came from and how to alter them.

Emotional Blocks

Stephen Covey made a couple statements that summarize this area well:

All sin is outward manifestation of inner turmoil.
Unexpressed emotions never die, they just manifest themselves in uglier and uglier ways.
If you try to strangle an emotion, it struggles for life. If you let it live, it dies in the birth process.
The emotions, both the ones you term good as well as the ones you would consider bad that are in a sense stuck inside you influence your every action and all aspects of your life.

Self-defeating behaviors

Actually, self-defeating behaviors are just a manifestation of the other two factors. Becoming aware of and dealing with these behaviors can aid you in identifying beliefs and blocks that stand between you and success. You can fight the behavior or identify the root. Fighting the behavior will not in the long run make much of a difference. The roots are the simple key and easy to deal with.

Goals can be extremely self-defeating and useless

Once you deal with the areas we just talked about, then the 'iceberg' is easy to steer and success can be yours. You can learn to set goals properly. Very, very few know how to do this.

Most 'goal' educators set you up to fail. There is a powerful way to look at goals and in particular 'INTENTION' that makes a major difference and works. Never set a goal again that you are not absolutely certain you can and will achieve. Just don't do it. Don't set it if you aren't willing to do what it takes.

By the way, if you aren't aware of your purpose and values, it is nearly impossible to set proper goals. You are fighting an incredible battle if you set a goal in conflict with these inner beliefs that you do have.

There's a proven, practiced and polished way to deal with these blocks. Certain 'Personal Effectiveness Trainings' deal with all of these issues of Limiting Beliefs, Emotional Blocks and Self-defeating Behaviors. I give my students much of this information in my seminars, and heartily recommend further exploration through some of the training companies that are out there.
