I’ve noticed an interesting thing as a workshop leader and as a coach:
Sometimes I’ll simply tell someone that something is possible for them, and they’ll believe me.
And they won’t stop there — they’ll live from this new belief, and get awesome new results.
That’s because an Authority can change beliefs. My Authority is so strong for these folks, it overrides their own belief and allows them to be different.
An “Authority” can change your belief about yourself when you believe in that authority more than you believe your current, limiting belief.
An Authority can be a coach, a therapist, a guru, a friend… It simply has to be someone you believe in more than you believe in your own limitation.
An Authority is someone where you stop and say, “Wow, if they say it, it must be true.”
