There’s a secret to what holds any of us back from what – or who – we feel we can become. It’s this simple: We tell ourselves that being different is dangerous. And it is. 

Change kills off who you were. 
That’s the good news. It’s also intolerable to our subconscious mind, the one that guides us and makes us react. 

If we’re not vigilant, we comfortably look at life through the lens of safety and
                   not through the lens of expansion and fulfilling desires.

To stay safe, we tend to find other people who are similar to us and we stick around them. We form our groups, and we then get reinforcement for the way we think and act. We even get reinforcement for the levels at which it's “okay” to achieve. 

When people are doing better than we are, we judge – “they’re lucky” or even, “they’re dishonest.” We project our insecurities onto others as jealousy. That comes out as judgment. And then we don’t have to take accountability for our own outcomes. 

Stay aware of when you judge and use that new awareness as a trigger to become intentional about your thought processes. Retrain your subconscious by deliberately engaging in new thoughts: “I chose to see them a certain way. What were my assumptions? What am I missing?”

When you look at the people in your life every day, who do you see? From the cashier at the coffee shop to the letter carrier, from a particular team member to “that” person on the other team, who do you see? What did they do to earn the judgment you’re giving them.

What holds you back is the bias you’ve learned to have about the world. It’s time to relearn. If you haven’t seen the TEDx I did a couple years back, it has over two million views on it, you might want to take a peek. CLICK HERE
