hello insider it's your coach Tim here and today I wanted to talk to you about the
beliefs you know eight years ago when I was hanging around in gangs committing
crime my life was far from good a lot of you guys know you know although I was in
the gang I only fell into it because I thought these were their cool guys and I
just wanted to fit in because I had so much pain from you know being bullied in
my life I just wanted to be part of them and I didn't want them to bully me and
so all day I was committing crime and you know being aggressive to other
people I knew deep inside it wasn't me however at that time my beliefs were
shaped by my peer group the beliefs that I had at a time was that you know people
are negative I don't like you know people who look at me funny I also
believe that I needed to be aggressive to people who looked at me funny and
that's how my knuckle to this day still remains broken it's never properly
healed like the doctors said but this is all resulted from beliefs and one day I
honestly broke free from all these limiting beliefs that kept me held back
for so long you know when I was working as a toilet cleaner something made me
quit something made me quit and leave everything behind and move here to the
City of London and it's all due to this simple change in beliefs I broke free
from the life's rope that was kept me held back for so many years and I wanna
then tell you a story over time I was in Thailand that really puts this into a
picture and a good analogy form for you to understand so as a lot of you guys
seen I was in Thailand about five months ago and I was at an elephant camp with
Toma in fact and was waiting to ride in one of the elephants and I remember I
was bit bored waiting this queue so I was looking around until suddenly I look
to my left and the middle of this field was a huge grey elephant this gigantic
creature which weighs couple tonnes and I realized how it wasn't moving and I
looked closer and I saw like a small fragile rope looks like a brown rope that was
around his neck and it's picked to the ground and it almost made me laugh I
was just like what the hell if it wanted to do this elephant could literally break
free it could honestly break free in matter of seconds if you just move
backwards it fit step backwards and I was looking at it and it wasn't moving
so I'm so intrigued I pulled a trainer over and I just really asked them and
pointed that elephant I said you know how comes it's not moving how comes it
stuck and he looked at me he said well basically ever since it's a baby elephant
they put the same rope around his neck and peg it to the ground and that at
that size that rope is actually strong enough to keep it in place and so this
elephant tries to resist and the ropes strong enough that keeps him in place so
this elephant tries tries tries but he can't escape and so he grows slightly
bigger and then he he tries again and he tries for several years until he gets to
a point where he makes a firm decision that is not possible that he's not good
enough that he's got to quit they can't achieve this freedom that he wants and
he grows up with this firm belief in his mind that he's not good enough that he
can't achieve it and there was this huge gigantic elephant in middle of that
field that day that I saw with every means of breaking apart this rope and
being free and yet due to its belief it remained there stuck
that was me there was so much possibility in my life for the first 17
years I was living on this planet and yet due to the beliefs I had for myself
I held myself back until one day I hit a threshold and I was like you know what
this is enough enough is enough I'm gonna take charge of my life I'm
going to do what it takes to become the best version of myself I spent so long
on video games I remember upgrading my character making him the best character
ever but not once considering me not once upgrading myself upgrading
everything upgrading my phone upgrading my computer but not once upgrading
myself and it was in that moment I've realized that's it no more messing
around here I'm committed and that's how I ended up just basically getting myself
to where I am today well you know today coached hundreds of men in becoming the
best version of themselves from the lessons I've learned from
personally reinventing my life I won't be here today if I didn't change my
beliefs so I wanna ask you which life's rope right now the imaginary rope is holding
you back from the greatness because once you realize that this limiting belief is
simply an illusion it doesn't exist is the moment you can be free that elephant
had every means to be free that day and yet due to his beliefs that it grow up
with due to one significant event it made a firm decision it's not possible so I wanna
wanna ask you what beliefs have you got that has been shaped by significant
event thus held you back so many years now
because I want you to now rip apart this rope and realize that every
opportunity is there for you to grab are you ready to step up because if you are
you can live that life and I know you are there to live that life is simply
your destiny so go live the life you're born to live my friends by becoming that
person you were born to be and that person you were born to be doesn't have
any sort of limitation they know this is an illusion there's no rope around our
neck so go out there and live your dream speak to you soon my friend
and as always follow your heart and take action speak soon
