Limiting Beliefs

As one month has passed, I am grateful to God for the improvements that are obvious. The question would then whether I make these improvements another limiting belief in the sense that I must always improve.

It was great to improve and to be excited. But it does not mean that I must live with those accomplishments. God alone is enough and therefore there is no need to cling on something too hard.

This means I need to watch out for this tendency for a limiting belief. It can be in form of fear to start something simply because I want it to be nice and good and those become a must. It can also be in form of difficulty to stop in the sense that I can’t stand to stop halfway or at a certain range. This is also applicable in watching TV. There is nothing wrong that I want to watch certain TV series. But it becomes limiting belief when I must watch it no matter the circumstances are. For example, today is the deadline of the paper. Although I want to watch TV, it is not a must. I can let it go and skip one or two episodes and watch it again. There is nothing wrong if being lagging behind. It’s either we jump or we can set up a separate time to catch it up.

Also, talking about the paper itself. The goal is to submit the paper. So it does not mean that all ideas must be included. If I have time, I can correct it. Otherwise, we can fix it at a later date.

One thing important is to observe on what’s happening. Today it was an insightful day learning from what the customer said, what the sales team said, and what the quality team said. It was also fun watching my patience to be tested by my colleague in terms of explaining things. It was not perfect, but I am happy that I was aware that my tone went up and then decided to use paper to explain instead of just verbally, while also acknowledging that some of my arguments were also not accurate.

Another good point today is that I was supposed to write an update of the past one month. I was tempted to go through my daily writings one by one. But thank God that I finally decided to just write whatever I can remember instead of going the write-ups one by one.
