Your Beliefs Won't Change Until Your Purpose Gets Big Enough

You will change your beliefs only when you have a big enough purpose.People assume changing a deep belief takes decades of therapy, journaling and self-exploration. What I've seen in years of coaching is that beliefs move fastest under leverage — when you link the negative belief to the non-attainment of something you deeply want. The mechanism is congruence: humans cannot comfortably hold "I want to build this" and "I'm not the kind of person who can" at the same time. Something has to give — either the goal dies, or the belief does. In this episode I tell the most embarrassing story I own: the twenty-year fear of flying that survived hundreds of flights, and the strange way it finally ended — the day my brain quietly accepted that nothing was in my control at 40,000 feet and simply packed up its tools and went home. Plus the coaching conversation pattern I use to help people create that leverage deliberately instead of taking twenty years the slow way.Grab my book Bridging the Gap free as an audiobook — search "Bridging the Gap Jonathan Doyle" on any podcast app.Corporate speaking and executive coaching enquiries: jonathandoyle.coA new one every morning.
