The Person Holding Your Back

Mid Week Musings #213

One morning when the employees of a company arrived at work, they received a message,

“We’re sorry to announce that, the person blocking you from succeeding in the company has passed away. Please gather for the funeral service in the assembly room.”

While there was some grief among the employees at the unexpected news of the death of their colleague, they were curious to know who was stopping them from succeeding. Moreover, most of them were now intrigued at the prospect of moving up and succeeding in the company.

Many employees were astonished to find all their colleagues still present and very much alive when they entered the assembly room. “If it wasn’t him or her, then who? Who was holding us back from succeeding? Who has passed away?” they all thought.

The employees approached the coffin one by one, and each was astonished when they saw what was inside.

They couldn’t make sense of what they were witnessing.

There was only a mirror in the coffin.

So, when each employee looked in to see who was “holding them back from success,” they saw themselves.

There was a sign next to the mirror that read:

You are the only person who can limit your growth.

You are the only person who is capable of creating your success.

It is not the circumstance and people that change your life; the way you face the different circumstances and people in life makes the difference.

When you overcome your limiting beliefs and realize you are in control of your life, your life changes.

You now know who has been preventing you from reaching your full potential.

Will you continue you let that person hold you back?

If you argue for your limitations surely enough they will be yours. - Richard Bach
