When I was eight years old, I scored a goal through the goalies legs in my very first debut on the soccer field. I was hooked.

Over the years I played in community leagues, all-star teams, select teams and clubs, and eventually high school. A decade of competitive soccer and I could count on one hand the goals that I had scored in a game, including that very first one through the keeper’s legs. As I pondered that fact on the way to an indoor soccer game, I realized something that shocked me. I believed that I couldn’t score. I loved the sport of soccer and continued to play, all the while believing that I wasn’t the finisher. So I tried a simple experiment. I showed up to the game that night with a new belief—that I CAN score.  …And guess what?  I scored four goals in one game. By simply changing the belief that I had about myself, I was able to produce drastic changes in my results. 

How often have you sold yourself short, simply because you told yourself that you can’t do something? You may be shocked to find out as plainly as I did, the limits that you have are all self-induced.
