How much what? Joy? Love? Money? This question is more important than you might realize because it defines your limit, which sets the beliefs that keep you settling for less than you deserve.
Before we can even think about why we would want to do this, first we must acknowledge that there is an upper limit to our tolerance for any of these things. If there wasn't, we would each have an unlimited supply of joy, love, money, or whatever else we want! Right?
A pattern that I have realized for myself is that I will attract a series of clients who are showing me my issues and they will continue to come until I have an epiphany and get it. For the last two weeks, I have attracted clients who are settling for less than they deserve each one in a different area of life.
For example, one man is feeling stuck in his relationship. It's out of balance in several ways, and he's been trying to fix it for over a year. He says that his wife is witty and kind but she has habits that irritate him a lot, and overall, he isn't happy. Another woman is stuck in a job where she isn't appreciated by her boss and co-workers. She gets physically ill every morning before going to work, but she stays in the job because she thinks her work there is important, even though the pay is significantly less than comparable jobs in her field.
In order to shift out of this, first the limiting belief has to be identified, then it must be modified to remove the "glass ceiling" we have created that blocks us from getting everything we want. It will be different for each of us. Maybe we are settling for financial security rather than financial independence. Perhaps we are holding on to a belief that we have to work hard and suffer in order to earn what we are paid. Many times we settle for unhappy relationships or low income because our parents did and sometimes they did because their parents did.
It's time to break out of these cycles no matter where they came from. You deserve to have it all!
