Overcoming Life Limiting Thoughts Labels tend to stick. When we’re young and our parents say things like, “Oh she’s just a plain Jane,’ or “He’ll never be as smart as his brother,” we drag those life limiting thoughts around like a ball and chain for the rest of our lives. Fortunately, God sees your potential differently. ‘God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re more than ready to do what needs to be done’ (2 Cor. 9:8). Thirty years ago, Johnny Weissmuller, known as Tarzan to moviegoers, was called the greatest swimmer in the world. Doctors and coaches said, “Nobody will ever break Johnny’s records.” He held more than fifty of them. Today, 13 year old girls break them on a regular basis. For decades, experts declared nobody would break the four minute mile, but Roger Bannister refused to believe it. As a result, he broke the ‘impossible’ four minute mile. Today, hundreds of runners do it every year. Understand this: others can stop you temporarily, but you are the only one who can do it permanently. If God says you can, you can! And His opinion is the only one that counts. Edgar Guest wrote, “There are thousands to tell you it can’t be done, there are thousands to prophesy failure, there are thousands to point out, one by one, the dangers that wait to assail you, so buckle right in with a bit of a grin, take off your coat and go to it. Just start to sing as you tackle the thing that cannot be done, and you’ll do it.”
