Limiting Belief
Maybe he’s right, going to graduate school might be a waste of time.
Positive Affirmation
Even though going to graduate school is a waste of time, I deeply and completely accept myself for having this belief. I choose to let this limiting belief go, and follow my heart anyway; knowing that everything I do in life is a valuable experience.
I have a close friend who wants to go back to school to get a Master’s Degree in Finance.
Knowing that she is in a fragile phase of deciding what’s best for her and is prone to absorbing other people’s opinions and beliefs, I suggested that she be cautious of who she told about this new direction she was considering taking.
She expressed her disappointment and frustration (not to mention heightened insecurity) to me after she told her business partner (he is a savvy Real Estate Agent who has made some impressive deals) that she’s thinking about getting a Master’s Degree.
He told her that it was essentially “A waste of time.” And that “maybe you’re trying to run away from the Real World and want to hide out in Grad School for a while.”
–This entire scenario is destructive on many levels:
- Being in the “about to make a decision” place is a fragile phase of the manifestation process. Especially if you have a HUGE Inner Critic, it can cause uncertainty where if enough attention is put on the doubts of others–can become insecurity.
- Sharing your desire, or even daydream to do something with someone who you know will be a naysayer and what I like to call a “misfortune-teller” is one of the most common causes of abandoned talent and aspirations.
- Confiding in someone who is protecting his/her own interests (in my friend’s case her business partner felt her going back to school posed a threat to their Real Estate business), to share your potential plans with can create confusion around your desires (as this person may convince you that what they want is really what you want) and talk you out of manifesting what is truly in your heart.
- Even if you go ahead and pursue your dreams/goals, the negative words of others may become your subconscious core beliefs
where you could find yourself experiencing setbacks and failures because in the back of your mind you are thinking, “That guy may be right, I’m definitely struggling and what a huge waste of time this feels like!” There’s nothing worse than your own subconscious beliefs working against you!
- Telling others about your dreams and goals (especially those who aren’t supportive) can create a creative energy leakage.
As Cody Horton
All this doesn’t mean you can’t tell anyone about your dreams and desires, but be choosy and select only those who will help you and inspire you along your journey to manifesting them.
Stop giving away your dreams!

I have a published writer friend who says the same thing. She told me that she doesn’t talk to ANYONE about her story until the first draft is written. She believes that it takes away from her creative power.
@Alina,
“Creative Power” is a great description! For years before I started writing on SqooshYourCritic, I would tell anyone and everyone all of my insights, ideas, etc…but then afterwards, I felt unmotivated to write any of it down.
More importantly, I absorbed the negativity from anyone who wasn’t supportive of my insights and ideas. (Not that I wasn’t open to debate and “feedback”, but I focused so much on it that I was ironically not open to the possibility of my ideas taking off–a huge creativity killer.
Thanks for your comment and Here’s to sqooshing YOUR inner critic!
