I saw a video on YouTube where an ant was freely moving on a table. She was going here and there without any limitation and without caring about anything.
Then something strange happened. Someone drew a circle on the table with a marker, and Ant thought that this was the border limit for her, and she did not go outside the drawn circle because she thought that circle was the limitation.
Earlier she was moving freely here and there, but now she is just moving inside the circle.
Then something shocking happened.
The same person who drew the circle now drew the circle inside that circle, but the person drew very quickly, and at that time Ant was moving, and then suddenly Ant crossed that mini circle inside the circle.
At that time Ant realised the circle was not the limit. Instead, she was limiting herself.
After this realisation, the ant crossed the big circle as well, which was drawn earlier, and the person kept drawing circles but crossed all of them because she now knows there is no limit.
For most of our lives, we have been living inside the circle, limiting ourselves because we think that circle is the limit. That circle is :
- Beliefs of our parents we adapted since childhood
- Agreeing to what our ancestors said
- Believing everything randomly on social media and accepting that as truth
- Not trying and moving forward because it is difficult
We have been told that this is how it works. This is what you should be doing. This is the time to do that specific thing. And the biggest one, “this can’t be done”.
All these circles are drawn by others, and you think that this is the limitation, but the limitation is you.
If someone told you that this is difficult or that is not possible, then that’s not a fact. In reality, someone with their limitations told you that it is difficult, that it is not possible, but it is your fault you choose to believe them. You have the power to choose what you believe and deny the limiting beliefs of others.
Everything changes the moment you realise this, and then you will understand that there was no limit; it was you who were telling your mind that this is not possible.
Now after realisation, you will tell your mind that it is possible and you will achieve something that was not possible earlier.
Ask yourself:
Which circle are you living in?
Which limitations have you put on yourself?
What would you do if there were no circles and limitations?
Your life will take a U-turn after you answer the above questions.
