In today’s coaching session with one of my
clients, we tackled what I have seen to be a very common issue…. In fact, I
think it’s pandemic, far worse than C19.
It’s the invasive, show stopper… the
subconscious, hidden belief that you are LESS THAN.
When I first started working with this
client, he had already accomplished more than most people do -ever. But
he had big dreams and a mission to make a huge difference in the medical field.
He’s an iconic innovator and wanted to be famous in his field.
Now, it takes a special person who wants to
be “famous in their field,” and even more special if they don’t have a ton of
ego motivating them.
But he did. Lots of ego.
Now, in reality, ego can serve a good
purpose, especially if you are younger, but after a while, it just slows you
down, makes you stuck, and triggers all kinds of negative emotions when people
don’t recognize you, support you, or even worse, thwart you.
My client was a strong man of faith, who
has worked very hard on himself professionally and personally, so it was a
surprise for him to see this Egoic Less Than thing. However, he was a person
who did not want any old stuff clinging to him because he knew you can’t rise
to where God wants you to go if you are tethered by the weight of lies.
Now the thing is, most of
us have a Less Than Story. And sometimes it’s easier to play the victim
and keep repeating the story… how you were hurt, wounded, held back, etc. ..
than to actually challenge it.
But here is why we all should:
· The Less Than Mentality
renders us powerless.
· It motivates us to prove we are
somebodies, when we already are more than somebodies… we are SUPER HEROES!
· It causes us to compare, judge,
and be jealous.
· It motivates us to work way too
hard and never feel accomplished or satisfied, at least not for long.
The Less Than Mentality drains our
energy, saps our time, and stresses us out.
A guess what…. It’s just a big fat lie.
Since my client and I have identified this
lie, how pervasive it is, and how it has held him back, distracted and
disempowered him… and then, discovered his true, God-given greatness and
destiny… the doors of favor and opportunity have flung wide open for him.
His desire to be a famous influencer is no longer motivated by fear, but love.
He is aligned with God and his energy is completely different.
He has gone from obscurity, striving and
hustling, to loving his life, getting published and writing a book with a well
known partner, being asked to be a regular for ABC News, and even more, finding
the woman of his dreams.
He’s so much more focused, and when he does
get triggered, he recognizes the problem, and has the skills and wisdom to know
what to do with it.
And what’s even more fun
is… we have identified his Superhero name! (Sorry, if I told ya, I’d have to
kill ya.)
The Less Than Lie
is a common thief…
and so, if it operating in your life, it is messing with what is possible
for you.
Listen to me: You are a SUPER HERO, and no matter where you
on this journey called life, it is time to come out of hiding!
Let me know if I can help…
Love,
