How Just the Thought Of Marijuana Being in the Air Stopped a Man from Enjoying His Vacation…

Can you imagine spending time and money to plan a vacation, pack the whole family up, get in the car and head to your destination… only to end up so fearful about a concept that doesn’t even actually exist that you are too scared to leave your hotel room?

Here’s what happened:

We’re not going to mention any names here, but this is a true story.

A man and his family did just what we described above… however, as they were driving to their destination, he suddenly realized he was going into a state where marijuana was legal. This absolutely crippled him. We don’t know if he imagined clouds and clouds of smoky marijuana everywhere on the street or dark smoky restaurants and common rooms, but the thought of it terrified him so bad he wouldn’t leave his hotel room for days.

Why? ‘Cause it’s drugs?

Well, yes. But probably not why you think.

You see, he works for an agency that screens regularly for drugs in his system. He had this idea that if he was even around marijuana it could end up in a tox screen and cost him his job.

While most of us know this is a bit of a ridiculous concept, it had a very real impact on him, his nervous system… and subsequently his family and the vacation they were trying to enjoy.

In this situation, he completely lost his power and shut himself down over a false limiting belief.

This example is a little extreme, but it’s usually the extreme examples that enables us to see clearly that we are doing the exact same thing without realizing it!

That’s great, but what does this mean for you?

Take a minute today and really think about where you may be shutting yourself down from reaching your full potential because of a limiting belief.

Look for labels you have put on yourself: “Well I am a school teacher so I could never be an influencer” or “people like me don’t become financially free” or “nobody in my family ever amounts to anything” type of things.

Once you come to the realization that these limiting beliefs are constructs of your own mind, you can leave your “hotel room” and create the life you desire and deserve!
