Break Free, Take a BIG Leap

I recently stumbled upon this awesome book by Gay Hendricks. Its called The Big Leap. During the course of my reading, I was confronted with 3 pivotal questions which intrigued me the most. Before you proceed further, I want you to take moment to answer these questions with all honesty.

• Have you ever been in a situation when your ready to take the big leap of your life, you gee held back by the negativity within you?
• Do you have a notion that at last when you feel content and satisfied with you lives, all of a sudden, a spur of negative emotions just overwhelm you?
• Have you ever felt that you finally feel satisfied with your relationship, out of the blue comes the negative emotions that overtake you and result in destructive behaviors?

We all have gone through a phases when thoughts such as “I’m not deserving enough” “This is too good for me” “Am I worthy enough for this?” keeps us away from experiencing the true joy and contentment we have earned. Sound familiar, doesn’t it?! Its called Upper Limit Problem.

According to Gay, it is a spur of negative emotions that arise when anything positive enters our lives. The Upper Limit Problem not only prevents us from experiencing true happiness, but also actually stops us from accomplishing our goals and targets. For most of us it is the penultimate life bottleneck.

Here’s a quote by Gay Hendricks form The Big Leap “When you’re ‘Upper- Limiting,’ you’re doing something that is crimping your flow of positive energy. Fortunately, there are not very many ways we Upper-Limit ourselves.”
The Big Leap talks about overcoming the barrier to happiness and fulfillment in a very simple to understand and engaging manner.  The book also describes the four hidden fears that are at the root cause of the Upper Limit Problem which limit us from achieving our true potential.
