This document discusses how to overcome limiting beliefs that hold you back from achieving your goals. It identifies common limiting beliefs in areas of personal traits, feelings, age, the world, time, and what exists/doesn't exist. To overcome these beliefs, the document recommends asking yourself what if you're wrong, how the belief serves you, creating alternative beliefs, and testing if they may be true. The overall message is that your beliefs limit your potential more than any external factors, so changing negative beliefs can help you "supercharge" your life.

11. WHAT ARE LIMITING
BELIEFS?
Limiting beliefs are false
beliefs that prevent us from
pursuing our goals and
desires.
Like the elephant that remains
stuck to the fence post, these
limiting beliefs keep us in place
without us even realizing it.
12. Which are the three areas you get
limiting beliefs about yourself ?
PERSONAL
TRAITS
FEELINGS
AGE
13. AGE
For example, some people think they’re too old to start a
business while others think they’re too young.
Which one is it?
Many people use age as an excuse to not do the
things they wish to do. A lot of people think they’re
too old to go back to school, change careers,
start dating again, or even just learn some new skill.
At the other end of the spectrum, I often hear
from people who think they’re too young to
apply for an awesome job, move to a new city, or
change career
14. PERSONAL TRAITS
The tough part about limiting beliefs around our personal traits
is that we (usually) can’t change them.
So if we’ve decided that the world will simply forever hate us
because we’re short, well, we will feel doomed by that for the
rest of our lives.
Maybe you think you’re too dumb to apply
for a scholarship, or a certain school, or job,
or even just have a conversation about
something “smart” with someone.
Maybe you think you’re
too ugly to talk to
anyone who’s even
remotely attractive.
15. FEELINGS
Not doing these things is what leads to the vicious cycle of these
kinds of limiting beliefs: we don’t do something we should because
of our current feelings , and doing nothing leads to more of those
feelings. Go figure.
I can’t go back to work because I’m too embarrassed.
If you’re easily embarrassed, facing the judgment of
others is the only way to get over that
embarrassment.
I can’t have a good relationship because I’m too
angry all the time.
If you’re so angry at someone you don’t want to talk
to them, chances are that talking to them will help
you get over your anger.
16. Which are the three areas you get
limiting beliefs about the world ?
PREJUDICE BEING SPECIAL
DISAPRROVAL
17. DISAPRROVAL
If you’re considering something and your first thought
is,
“What would people think?” you’ve already
lost.
I can’t talk to them because people
will think I’m weird.
I can’t quit grad school because mom
and dad will be disappointed.
I can’t leave my cushy job to take
a lower-paying job that I’d enjoy
more because people won’t
respect me.
18. PREJUDICE
One way to think about these issues is that while they may
be true population-wide, they are not true from individual
to individual.
Besides, the only way to overcome these prejudices in
society is for individuals to stand up for themselves. Why
not be that individual?
I’m Asian, and women don’t like Asian
men, so I’ll never find a girlfriend.
I’m short, and short people make less
money than tall people, so I didn’t try for
that promotion.
I’m a woman, and people
don’t listen to women’s
ideas, so I’ll just keep quiet
at work meetings
19. BEING SPECIAL
This is really just a perverse form of entitlement.
We think the world owes us something because we’re
so special, but the world doesn’t understand our
specialness, so why even try? We’ll never get what
we’re owed. Because you are you and you have your
own self importance.
I want to make music, but no one
appreciates my electric influences.
I want to write comedy, but no one
would understand my sophisticated
humor.
I have a business idea, but nobody
understands my vision
20. Which are the three areas you get
limiting beliefs about your Life ?
TIME IT DOESN’T
EXIST
MISSED
THE BOAT
21. MISSED THE BOAT
Underneath it all is the belief that there’s just not enough
left for us. There are not enough customers, not enough
ideas, not enough money, not enough time, not enough love.
The world is a big place. There’s plenty of room for you and
me and anybody else who wants to dive in.
Wanna be entrepreneurs complain that
“someone’s already built that.
But have you ever considered the fact that
someone else already making money off
something is actually evidence
you should start a business and compete with
them?
The aspiring novelist laments that their
idea has already been written. Hell,
write it better!
22. TIME
When someone says, “I don’t have time!” What I hear is, “I don’t
care enough!” Because the fact is that if you made that change a
priority, you’d clear your schedule and/or re -organize your schedule
around it
Possibly the most common excuse I see from
people, especially those who are considering a
major lifestyle change like changing their diet,
exercising more, reading more books, etc., is that
old complaint about time:
“I’m too busy. I don’t have the time!”
But you know how they say if someone
really likes you, they’ll find a way to
spend time with you? Well, if you really
want to do something, you’ll find a way
to make time for it too.
23. IT DOES NOT EXIST
Perhaps the most unshakeable limiting beliefs have to
do with what actually exists and what doesn’t exist.
Sometimes we choose to believe things are
impossible as a way to prevent ourselves from trying
and failing to achieve them.
Love between two people is fleeting at best
and made up at worst, so why even look for
it?”
Success is just a fabricated ideal created by
society to control us, so why do anything?”

SAYS,
WHAT MATTERS MOST IS
WHAT YOU THINK OF
YOURSELF”
