We were sort of raised to believe that anything worth having comes at a cost. It’s hard to achieve. You’ve got to sacrifice, work all hours of the day and suffer for what you want in life. For a long time, I believed that. And, sometimes, those very limiting beliefs still creep in. But a lot of that — most of that — is bullshit. Much of it is manufactured to keep people in their places. It’s a nasty blend of patriarchy, capitalism and elitism that affects us all. And while some of that nastiness is dissolving, it’s fossilized in other areas. 

So let’s be disrupty by letting go of those limiting beliefs and start looking for the easier, saner, more enjoyable path.
