Self-limiting beliefs are a common topic amongst self-development bloggers.
The simple reason is that self-limiting beliefs are the single biggest deterrent in people achieving their dreams and goals and leads to them living sub-par lives full of mediocrity.

How many kids do you know that are bad at math or english in school not because they are stupid, but because since they were little the idea got implanted into them that they are bad at that subject.

There is something called a critical age in every person, and this is from when a child is born until he is about 7 years old. Before the critical age, the child is in a developing mode and accepts many ideas and gestures simply because he does not have his own identity yet. That is why parents, teachers and friends have such a huge effect on someone’s lives before this critical age.

If you are lucky enough to have loving parents and people around you who are supportive and only motivate,inspire,teach and love you before this age, then chances are big you will achieve many things in your life.

The ones who have been neglected or instilled with negative beliefs about themselves will have a harder time forming a strong and positive identity.

Everyone has fears and negative beliefs…the only difference between people want to change and people who accept their negativity is just that…THE DESIRE TO CHANGE. TAKING ACTION.
Who is someone else to say that you are not smart enough, or not strong enough, or not good-looking enough or that you don’t deserve something???

I’m going to give a quote from one of my favourite movies of all time, ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ where Will Smith says to his son…:

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you what to do…not even me”

With everything in life you can find people who are better than you and who are worse than you.
If you really want to succeed at something, don’t look for all the people who tried and failed, look for the people who started in the gutter and worked their way to the top with years of hard work, effort, blood, sweat and tears. If they can do it so can you!

Don’t hide behind the acceptance of the idea of “I’m not good enough”..because you are!
Follow your dreams, follow your hearts desire, and you will be truly happy!
It may not be easy, it may be the most difficult thing you have ever done, but you are being true to yourself and with perseverance you will achieve your dreams:)

REMEMBER…START RIGHT NOW…TAKE ACTION.

What do you really want? Write it down
How are you going to get there? Write it down

MAKE A COMMITMENT TO START WORKING TOWARDS YOUR GOAL, even if it is step by step, hour by hour, day by day, until you start seeing results…and then continue working more…and then some more still!

Have an amazing day!
