What’s one ultimate road block that we may encounter in our lives?
Well, most of us believe that we will only feel satisfied and content with our lives when we finally get the good news we have been waiting for; get our dream job; find a healthy relationship; or achieve any of our personal goals.
However, this rarely happens.
Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors. “I don’t deserve this,” “this is too good to be true,” or any number of harmful thought patterns prevent us from experiencing the joy and satisfaction we have earned. Sound familiar?
Well, it’s a topic that’s greatly addressed within The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by New York Times bestselling author Gay Hendricks. He calls the negative emotional reactions that occurs when anything positive enters our lives, “the Upper Limit Problem.” Not only does it prevent us from happiness, but it also stops us from achieving our goals. It has and can become the ultimate life roadblock for many of us.
Thankfully, in The Big Leap, Hendricks reveals how to overcome the barrier to happiness and fulfillment, presented in a way that engages both the mind and heart. Working closely with more than one thousand extraordinary achievers in business and the arts—from rock stars to Fortune 500 executives—whose stories are featured in these pages, the book describes the four hidden fears that are at the root of the Upper Limit Problem.
The Big Leap will help you to identify which of these four fears is preventing you from reaching your personal upper limit, and then breaking through that limitation to achieve what Hendricks refers to as our Zone of Genius. Hendricks provides a clear path for achieving our true potential and attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life.
Happy Reading!
