- 0:00Excited to play the instrument. I was excited for her because, quite honestly,
- 0:03I never played an instrument growing up. I remember one particular day,
- 0:07she was so excited because she had a new story to tell about this whole
- 0:14experience playing an instrument. She explained to me that in the storage room in
- 0:20her music class, she stumbled upon another instrument and she asked her teacher what
- 0:29that instrument was, and she was told that was a bass clarinet. And
- 0:34she was so excited about this new identified instrument, which is the bass clarinet.
- 0:38And she was telling me how awesome it was, and how it looked
- 0:43like a saxophone but it wasn't a saxophone, how it had different notes to
- 0:48it than her clarinet did, and all of the things. But she finished
- 0:53off by telling me that her teacher had told her that it would be several
- 0:59years before she would be able to play such an instrument, that she would
- 1:03have to be really good at playing the clarinet, and then eventually, over
- 1:11a number of years, to graduate to the base clarinet. Well fast forward,
- 1:17just about a year or two later, she's in a new school.
- 1:19She graduated from her elementary school and in this school, again, playing instruments
- 1:26was part of the curriculum, and when asked what instrument she wanted to play,
- 1:34she elected the base clarinet. Now, she had never played it before,
- 1:38and as a matter of fact, she was consciented that she wouldn't be
- 1:42able to play this instrument for a number of years until she had gotten really
- 1:49good at the clarinet. Now, she wasn't that great at the clarinet yet,
- 1:55but she was willing to jump right in and when she did that,
- 1:59it was so interesting and refreshing at the same time that she had a general
- 2:06interest, she had a general curiosity about something and she decided to go for
- 2:13it. It could have been one of those stories where she just went and
- 2:19did what she knew how to do. It could have been one of those
- 2:23stories where she allowed a limitation that someone else had to caution her or prevent
- 2:34her from doing something new and trying something new. And that's something that we
- 2:39need to think about when we look at our lives even now. Hello,
- 2:52my friends from all across the globe, and welcome to the Urine Rits of

- 4:57financial freedom. Continue to attract beautiful connections, wonderful opportunities and financial freedom.
- 5:10Now let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast.
- 5:23Easy to look around your world and identify the societal things, the policies,
- 5:29and all of the external factors that may be holding you back that may be
- 5:33keeping you from where you want to go. But I want to challenge you,
- 5:38as I do each and every week, to look within. And let's
- 5:41start with your beliefs. Everything originates from a thought, and a thought exercised
- 5:49over time becomes your belief system. Think about the faith that you practice,
- 5:56right, you went Sunday to Sunday to Sunday, going to that church,
- 6:01attending that space of worship, and that basically created a belief system because of
- 6:10the repetition. So anything that you believe is rooted at repetition, you did
- 6:16it a multitude of times. That's why you understand that when you get up
- 6:20in the morning and you get ready to start your day, you do so
- 6:25by brushing your teeth. It has become not just routine, but you believe
- 6:30that it's part of your hygiene. You believe it's part of your start the
- 6:34day process because you've repeated that activity over time. And if you look across
- 6:40your life and you look across your business and your family, there are all
- 6:44kinds of beliefs that were built on your faith, your culture, your education,
- 6:50mentors, personal experiences. Going back to my daughter when I spoke about
- 6:57at the intro, her teacher was the one that set a belief system.
- 7:03And had she followed that and kept that as part of a repetitious thought,
- 7:10that would have created a belief. And oftentimes our beliefs come wrapped in limitations.
- 7:16And it's not because the person that's talking to us has ill will for
- 7:23us or they're a bad person. They too have had repeated ideas, repeated
- 7:30thoughts, repeated activity that also graduated to their belief system. These are the
- 7:35things that we value, and they impact our personal value. These are the
- 7:40things that if over time wit limits, we can be held back, we
- 7:46can not be propelled in the direction that we want to go to. And
- 7:50so that's why this week it's important for us to talk about the origin of
- 7:57your beliefs and quite frankly, I want you to be willing to challenge the
- 8:03things that you believe. Now. I really want you right now, in
- 8:07this moment, to think of something in your life that you have believed and
- 8:15maybe think about where you want to go. And there is something in particular
- 8:20for you which may be different from me and other people, which is why
- 8:26you are not moving forward. You're not willing to take that step, and
- 8:31it could be because of a belief system. And I'm going to be transparent
- 8:35for a minute. It took me a long time to invest in myself.
- 8:41I think that was one of the biggest belief system changes I had to embrace
- 8:48and I had to recognize that in order for me to move forward, even
- 8:52to launch this podcast and so many other things I've been able to accomplish,
- 8:56it started with me investing in myself. I truly believe that you can only
- 9:03go as far as you have grown as far as you have been coached and
- 9:09taught, because if you are not taught to the next level, how much
- 9:13further can you go? How much further can you grow? Right? And
- 9:16so that's an essential part of my belief system, But it took me a
- 9:22while to get there. When I, for example, joined my coaching program
- 9:28a couple of years ago, I had to invest some money into that program.
- 9:33But I knew that in order to grow and get this level of growth
- 9:39that I'm now walking in, I would have to invest in myself. And
- 9:43so many of us would rather go out there and spend money on things that
- 9:46are short term or things that we believe will give us satisfaction in a moment.
- 9:54But I had to shift my belief system to recognize that if I were
- 9:58going to move forward, if I were going to start to create in this
- 10:03society and start to make impact in the way that I've envisioned for myself and
- 10:09the way God has appointed me to, it would require me to make some
- 10:13investments in me, sharpen up my skills and all of the things. And
- 10:18so these belief systems start to stretch where we go, how we go,
- 10:24what we move. Honestly, if you look at your life right now,
- 10:28in this moment. No matter where you are, your belief systems, your
- 10:33beliefs are responsible for where you are now, where you have been, and
- 10:39depending on how it comes, it's going to impact where you go or where
- 10:48you don't go. And so that's why this is so important. As I
- 10:54mentioned, there are beliefs that we have inherited from our parents, from our
- 10:58culture, from our family, from our own experiences, but we are now
- 11:03at a point where we need to challenge that. I think about a child.
- 11:11I remember buying my kid's gifts, and I've seen this with other people's
- 11:15children. So it's not a thing with just my kids where you buy them
- 11:18a gift and they take it out of the box and they spend the next
- 11:22ten to fifteen minutes playing with that box. But to my eye and your
- 11:28eye, it's just a box. For them, it's a boat, it's
- 11:31a car, it's a trunk, it's a castle. But to our eye,
- 11:37to the way we see it, we see it as a box,
- 11:41and they are thinking outside the box. So a child's mind has no limits,
- 11:48and when your mind has no limits, anything is possible. Contrary,
- 11:56when your mind has limits, there are imitations to the possibilities. That is
- 12:03where a lot of our suffering comes from. And it's the root cost to
- 12:07how we think. It's the root cost to how we live. If you
- 12:11think about how you're living, I want you to think about what you're thinking.
- 12:16More importantly, if you abandon some of the thoughts that have kept you
- 12:22where you are now or have limited you, who would you want to be
- 12:28without those thoughts? And that's a real valid question that you need to ask
- 12:33yourself, that you need to get into a mindset of understanding who would I
- 12:41be without that thought, without that limitation? And let's explore that. Let's
- 12:50explore who you would be without that thought? Who you would be without that
- 12:56limitation? And so limited beliefs. I talked a little bit about where they
- 13:03come from, right, They come from other people, They come from external
- 13:09factors, they come from internal factors, They come from activities and experiences,
- 13:15and we ourselves have. So when we think of beliefs, think about environment
- 13:22and you've heard of things. You've heard of stories of people coming from the
- 13:28same environment but having two different lives, living two different lives, two uniquely
- 13:37and vastly different experiences. I need you to challenge that thinking because environment does
- 13:45not always dictate who you become and where you go. Because again, you
- 13:54can look at two people that have virtually come from the same household, for
- 13:58example, and it is because of their unique experiences, their unique environments,
- 14:03not just the external but the things that they're living with, the thoughts that
- 14:09they've adopted, the things that they've uniquely heard and experienced. Those are the
- 14:15things that are going to give power and those are the things that are going
- 14:18to become the captain of that individual person's soul. And so that's something we
- 14:24need to think about. I want you to explore life events, the things
- 14:31in life that has happened, you know, getting married, getting a divorce,
- 14:35having children, starting a new career. These are life events. Buying
- 14:41a house, all of these things, making a major purchase, a major
- 14:45investment, buying a car, these are life events. These are things that
- 14:48happen that start to shape our thinking. My husband would be really proud of
- 14:54this. I'm gonna talk about Batman for just a second. But Batman witnessed
- 15:00his parents be murdered, right and because of this experience, it was a
- 15:07driving force around how he would then look at his life about after witnessing this,
- 15:15he swore to himself that he would go against all the criminals and he
- 15:20would challenge the system of justice. Not only did he think about it,
- 15:26he studied how to be a scientist of his own body, to train his
- 15:31body and his mind to be able to fight crime in Gotham City. Right.
- 15:37But again it was this tragic event of losing his parents, watching them
- 15:43die in front of him. Whatever your life moment was, those life events
- 15:48are also going to dictate how you then train your mind like he did,
- 15:54or train your body like he did. So as you emerge from these life
- 15:58events, for some of us, like Batman, you become the master of
- 16:03your craft. You change your mind and your body to align with your belief,
- 16:08to align with where you want to go. And those are the things
- 16:12that impact how you believe and where you go. We talk about knowledge,
- 16:19and I will say this knowledge is not power. Application of knowledge is power.
- 16:30I remember years ago I was interested in starting this podcast, years ago
- 16:38before these ninety two episodes, and I was literally on a wall. I
- 16:45had gotten information, but there was a thought process, there was a mentality
- 16:51that kept holding me on that wall. And it wasn't until I started just
- 16:56taking the steps, and let me tell you getting started. I can't say
- 17:00for everybody else, but it was rough for me to get started on this
- 17:04process. But it required me to take steps. It required me to go
- 17:08from being on top of that wall and looking down at all the ways I
- 17:14can do it and all the different platforms I can go to and listening to
- 17:17other podcasts to finally get off the wall right and go apply some of the
- 17:22things that I've learned. Now. Again, when I first started, I
- 17:26probably had half of the puzzle figured out, and as time went on,
- 17:33I started to apply the other pieces of the puzzle that I had picked up.
- 17:37And again, my belief system because of the investment I made in myself,
- 17:44got me thinking, my lean, if you're gonna do this, you're
- 17:47going to have to do this, and sometimes doing things requires you to do
- 17:51it with some sloppy progress. And I adopted that mentality. It was a
- 17:56mentality that literally freed me from the burdens of perfection, from the burdens of
- 18:03not doing a thing because everything wasn't rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes it's going to
- 18:08be messy, right, And that's why you need to apply the knowledge,
- 18:14not just hold onto it. But apply it. For many of you,
- 18:18it's your past results. You have receipts that say you fail at something.
- 18:25You have receipts that say you didn't do well at something else so or you
- 18:32did great at something, and those then shape your belief That is where your
- 18:37heart space now leads you to do the work or avoid it because you're like,
- 18:41if I go down that road again, I'm probably likely going to fail.
- 18:45It's all part of it. It's all part of it, and in
- 18:51order to change your belief systems, remember it is a series of repetition.
- 18:56If you're going to change your belief system, you're gonna have to allow yourself
- 19:00to fail and recover quicker, recover faster, because what you're gonna do is
- 19:07you're going to be able to do something right and learn right. Failure is
- 19:14not just failure. That's how I see it. Failure is not just failure.
- 19:18It's an opportunity to learn because if you made that mistake that time,
- 19:22you're likely not to make that same mistake again. You may make a new
- 19:27mistake, but you're not likely to make the exact same mistake. So,
- 19:32yeah, you're failing, quote unquote failing. I say you're learning because you're
- 19:37applying something new and you're finding out that, oh that didn't work, let
- 19:41me go try the next thing. And that's what it's all about. And
- 19:45finally, for many of you, your vision of your future is dictated again
- 19:56and anchored in your path past experiences, and it impacts how you believe.
- 20:03I mean, all of us are driving towards that north star of our lives.
- 20:10We're driving towards the future of our lives. And if a past experience
- 20:15is shaping how you think instead of thinking where you want to take shape in
- 20:22your life, it's going to be very difficult for you to arrive in a
- 20:26place that you are probably likely going to get to when you finally shave off
- 20:33the limitations from your thoughts. And so that's an important piece of your journey.
- 20:41It's an important piece of your work, and it's an important piece of
- 20:45your life. Your beliefs, the origin of your beliefs are essential, the
- 20:52what and the how you got there. But think about who set it to
- 20:57you. A lot out of the people that told you the thing that has
- 21:03created limits on how you have moved in your life, on how you move
- 21:10in your life and where you have gone. They themselves were operating from a
- 21:15spirit of lack and limitation, and so look at the whole picture. Do
- 21:22your work this week. Understand the origin of your beliefs and choose to do
- 21:32something new. Choose to do something that elevates you. Even now, you
- 21:42can change your beliefs so that you can shape the direction of your life.
