The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level

by Gay Hendricks

Speaking personally, I found that my biggest resistance was the fear of owning my full potential.

When you reach the end of your life and are wondering whether it’s all been worthwhile, you’ll be measuring whether you did everything you possibly could with the gifts you’ve been given.

The goal in life is not to attain some imaginary ideal; it is to find and fully use our own gifts.

Each of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy.

When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure.

if you make a spectacular leap in one area of your life, such as money, your Upper Limit Problem quickly enshrouds you in a wet-wool blanket of guilt that keeps you from enjoying your new abundance. Guilt is a way our minds have of applying a painful grip on the conduit through which our good feelings flow.
