43. Getting the Upper Hand on Limiting Beliefs


Listen Later

A limiting belief is that voice in your head convincing you that you can’t do something. The voice gets louder and louder every time you allow yourself to listen to it and refuse to take action as a result of it.

Limiting beliefs are common for people who see more value in others than in themselves. Here are some of them:

  • I will never be as skilled or as smart as I should be.
  • People will only respect me if I’m successful.
  • If I don’t do as well as others, it means that I am an inferior person.
  • If I can’t do something perfectly, then there’s no point in doing it at all.

The problem with limiting beliefs is that they can become deeply ingrained, to the point where your “beliefs” about yourself become “truths” about yourself. You can, however, break free from their hold on you.
