Hendricks asserts that, while we all have an innate call toward our most successful and fulfilling life, even highly successful people are often unable to achieve beyond a self-imposed limit, a \u201chappiness threshold.\u201d As you achieve greater success, Hendricks says you reach this threshold, which triggers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-sabotaging-behavior\/\">self-sabotaging behaviors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendricks explains how our happiness thresholds are established early in life, through the adoption of false beliefs, and how to identify your own false beliefs. He offers practical advice for applying this new knowledge to your life and relationships, in order to take the \u201cbig leap\u201d into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-live-your-best-life\/\">living your best life<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>The Big Leap<\/em> quotes highlight some of his key ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cEach of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendricks calls this inner thermostat setting the &#8220;Upper Limit Problem&#8221;\u2014an internal threshold for the maximum degree of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/happiness-and-success\/\">success and happiness<\/a> you\u2019ll allow yourself to experience. According to Gay Hendricks, when we achieve high degrees of success in our careers, relationships, and other areas of life, we\u2019ll begin to feel discomfort as we near that threshold, and this triggers self-sabotaging behaviors. This <em>threshold<\/em> works to prevent you from reaching what he calls your \u201cZone of Genius.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cI expand in abundance, success, and love every day, as I inspire those around me to do the same.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendricks has formulated this mantra specifically designed for combatting the false beliefs and limiting behaviors discussed in <em>The Big Leap<\/em>. It serves to open your mind to accepting all of the abundance of life in your state of fulfillment. He calls this the Universal Success Mantra, or USM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat the mantra in sequence with your breath in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a> daily. Notice any resistance your mind has to the mantra. It\u2019s natural\u2014just notice it and go back to the mantra. It will take practice to retrain your mind; you\u2019re deprogramming from a lifetime of embedded false beliefs. In addition to setting aside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/time-to-focus\/\">time to focus<\/a> on your mantra in meditation, occasionally just repeat it as you go about your day any time you think of it. Hendricks also suggests that you may want to write the mantra down on pieces of paper and put them where you\u2019ll see them throughout the day, for example in your house, car, or office, in order to prompt yourself to repeat it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cCriticism and blame are addictions. They are costly addictions, because they are the number-one destroyer of intimacy in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-people-closest-to-you\/\">close relationships<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hendricks, criticism is usually as much, or more, about you as it is about the other person. It keeps you from being able to work harmoniously with others, and puts the blame for failures or problems onto others instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">taking responsibility<\/a> for those yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendricks gives some tips on how to stop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/criticism-of-others\/\">criticizing others<\/a>: Once you take notice of your tendency toward criticism, Hendricks suggests trying to refrain entirely from making any critical statements for one day\u2014this should make you aware of how habitual the behavior is. Then, notice whether your criticisms are things you can do something about, and if so, just do what it takes to resolve it. He predicts, however, that you\u2019ll notice that most of your criticisms are not productive, and when you realize this, you\u2019ll become aware of how unnecessary they are and eventually stop the habit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for The Big Leap quotes by Gay Hendricks?
