A famous research study was once done on a clique of young goldfish, who were raised in a luxuriously long aquarium with a pesky glass wall smack down its middle.<\/p>\nA famous research study was once done on a clique of young goldfish, who were raised in a luxuriously long aquarium with a pesky glass wall smack down its middle.<\/p>\n
Every time these goldfish tried to swim to the far side of the aquarium – ouch — they’d hit their little fish noses on the glass wall’s hard surface. Eventually the goldfish became resigned to their limited swimming options, and stayed swooshing around in the mere half-sized portion of the aquarium they now recognized as home.<\/p>\n
After a few months, the researchers removed the glass wall from the aquarium’s middle — allowing the goldfish full reign to swim wherever their little gills could gather speed to take them.<\/p>\n
Guess what?<\/p>\n
The goldfish never tried to swim to that other side of that long aquarium.<\/p>\n
Although these goldfish were no longer stopped by that glass wall, they were stopped by their limiting beliefs. They became prisoners of their past life conditioning.<\/p>\n
We humans are no better. Over time we amass limiting beliefs about how life supposedly is — beliefs which are not valid. We then allow these limiting beliefs to stop us from living our happiest life.<\/p>\n
Indeed, if you want to experience maximum happiness, more important than whether you see that metaphorical glass as half full or half empty, is whether or not you see a metaphorical glass wall in your way.<\/p>\n
After all, you could be the most optimistic person on this planet — consciously believing you deserve bundles of cash and heaps of lovin’ — yet you can still remain blocked from getting all you want.<\/p>\n
How can that be?<\/p>\n
Because although your conscious mind might be thinking many, many, many, fabulous thoughts about you — your subconscious mind can simultaneously remain very busy thinking its limiting glass wall beliefs.<\/p>\n
How do you know you have glass walls beliefs? That’s easy. Your life is difficult. You keep finding yourself saying:<\/p>\n
“I can never get a break.”<\/em><\/p>\n “The opposite sex sucks.”<\/em><\/p>\n “All people suck.”<\/em><\/p>\n “The world sucks. “<\/em><\/p>\n “Distant galaxies suck.”<\/em><\/p>\n Another way you can tell if you have glass walls — and where exactly you have them — is to look at The Top Life Categories (1. love, 2. sex, 3. career, 4. money, 5. family, 6. friendship, 7. appearance, 8. health) then rate yourself on a Happiness Score of 1 to 10 on where you are in each.<\/p>\n Whenever a Life Category garners a Happiness Score of six or under, your subconscious mind is blocking you with a glass wall belief — telling you, for example:<\/p>\n “Yo! Career Happiness stops here — go no further!”<\/em><\/p>\n Or…<\/p>\n “Yo! Money Happiness stops here — go no further!”<\/em><\/p>\n But yo! It ain’t so! You can go much further! You’re simply being blocked by a mirage of glass flashing in your subconscious’ face! Basically if you’re not fully leading your happiest career and financial life, it’s because your subconscious has created an incomplete, short-sighted map of the world!<\/p>\n Or if you’re a “foodie,” a good analogy to describe “glass wall limitations” is to say it’s as if your subconscious has given you a very limited menu of your life options — and in reality, you have many more yummy life-ordering selections available!<\/p>\n It’s funny how we humans love to blame other people for holding us back. I call these “(b)lame” excuses and “mythaken” thinking — for the obvious reasons. The truth is — more often than not — it’s our own selves and our imaginary glass walls hindering our success.<\/p>\n So what stops us from seeing that there’s no glass wall to be seen?
