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

by Gay Hendricks

I manufactured the stream of painful images because I was feeling good! Some part of me was afraid of enjoying positive energy for any extended period of time.

The Upper Limit Problem must be dis-solved, not solved. You dissolve it by shining a laserlike beam of awareness on its underpinnings—the false foundations that hold the Upper Limit Problem in place.

Fundamentally Flawed

The fear of being fundamentally flawed brings with it a related fear. It’s the fear that if you did make a full commitment to living in your Zone of Genius, you might fail. It’s the belief that even your genius is flawed, and that if you expressed it in a big way, it wouldn’t be good enough. This belief tells you to play it safe and stay small. That way, if you fail, at least you fail small.

Let’s explore what happened here. First of all, I chose not to regard my worry-thoughts about money as being actually about money. That’s the attitude I want you to take toward your worry-thoughts in general. I want you to see them as Upper Limit symptoms, unless they are about something real that you can do something about right away.

Sometimes the positive message is a message we’re afraid to hear, such as “It’s time to quit my job and do something else.”

Whatever your story is, the first task is to find it. Identify your family story of why you shouldn’t access your genius. Once you’ve identified it, the next task is to lose your fascination with it.

I expand in abundance, success, and love every day, as I inspire those around me to do the same.

You’re where time comes from.

woah

The Newtonian paradigm assumes that there’s a scarcity of time, which leads to an uncomfortable feeling of time urgency inside us.

It’s just as polite to say to your child, “I want to finish what I’m working on before I play catch,” rather than claiming to be the victim of time.)

Another way we limit positive energy is by needing to control or dominate the other person (or needing to be controlled or dominated). If we always have to be right, for example, there is no room in the relationship to be happy.

Eliminate phrases such as “Please don’t cry” and “There’s nothing to be angry about.” Feelings are to be felt, so encourage each other to go through complete cycles of emotions.
