Feelings of limitation are so unnecessary

Dr Tae Yun Kim is a martial artist, an author, a speaker and much more.  Here is an excerpt from her book, The Silent Master.

 

 If you really want to change your life, you may have to see that what you're really getting out of these beliefs is an excuse not to face up to some fear or weakness you have. As long as you believe you're lazy, will you focus your will on going to school to learn something new? No, because if you're afraid of failing, you won't test yourself in school. As long as you believe you're shy, will you use your will power to seek out a new, more fulfilling career where you have to meet many people? No, because if you're afraid to talk to others you'll keep your undesirable present job where there are few people. In both of these situations, you are afraid, not really lazy, and not really shy.

But feelings of limitation are so unnecessary.  Fear can be conquered!

Weakness can be overcome.

Each time you use your will power to stand up and throw yourself into the face of another “I can't,” you are getting ready for a victory. So in the readiness stage of self discovery, you begin to identify your fears and weaknesses, and start to confront them.
