Your Upper Limit: Can Your Identity Hold the Life You're Asking For?

Your Upper Limit: Can Your Identity Hold the Life You’re Asking For?

What happens when the life you’ve been asking for finally begins to arrive—but part of you doesn’t know how to live there yet?

You get the opportunity. The business grows. The money increases. Your work gets noticed. The door opens.

And then something unexpected happens.

You start worrying.

You procrastinate.

You question yourself.

You pull back.

You create a problem where there wasn’t one before.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli explores two powerful concepts from Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap: the Upper Limit Problem and the Zone of Genius.

Hendricks proposes that we can develop an internal ceiling for how much success, love, abundance, happiness, and positive experience we comfortably allow ourselves to experience.
