Winners Give Up Cleaning Their Glass Ceiling.

The sky’s the limit…right? Not for most. Many dream of what lies beyond their current situation…fleeting fantasy’s of “what if”. Others dwell, frozen in their feelings of lack. They say, “if only”. If only this person wasn’t keeping me from doing this…the bank, my boss.

The truth is, we are conditioned to be self limiting from our youngest ages. Do you remember what happened to the kid who raised her hand too often in class? Sooner or later she got tired of the stares, the whispers and the ridicule, so she stopped raising her hand and getting excited about contributing to the classroom. She imposed self limitations, tucking away her abilities. Some learn to overcome this, many don’t. Most people, in some respect, impose life-long limitations on their ability.

Winners break through their self imposed “glass ceiling”, while the rest of us just polish it for a better view of “what if”.
