ARE YOUR BELIEFS EMPOWERING OR LIMITING YOU?


Your success or failure in life is largely determined by what you belief in. your beliefs has been influenced by people close to you from birth until adulthood. You might be thinking that your thoughts are entirely yours but, let me ask you something, when was the last time you questioned any of the ideas you been fed by people close to you? Are all those things you hold for truth really true? Many of you have grown up hearing that most rich people are dodgy. Another idea is that you cannot achieve anything in life if you are not born into a rich family. In order to make money, you need to have money some believe.

All these ideas and many more have become truth to many people who never questioned them but, just accepted as the undisputable truth and took the responsibility to pass it on to anyone who would listen. Most of us have been conditioned to believe in a certain way by our upbringing and the environment, if an idea doesn’t fit in our way of thinking or our beliefs; we promptly exclude it as preposterous. You will always find the way to justify your beliefs while ignoring any evidence to the contrary.

A lot of people believe that free is equal to useless and, if you give a stranger something of value free when they don’t need it, they will quickly dispose of it not knowing that it could have helped them at a later date. They usually think along these lines: if it is really that valuable, why are you giving it away for free? People are been conditioned to believe that expensive means valuable or high value, the same people believe that cheap is equal to worthless. 

Those who have these limiting beliefs will always struggle in life because you cannot go against your beliefs. You will never take any action contrary to your beliefs; it is as if you are fighting against yourself. The next question I would like to ask you is: do you think it is possible to decondition yourself once you have discovered your limiting beliefs?
