How Do You Know What Is Holding You Back?

Self imposed limiting beliefs they start out innocently enough we do not even know that we possess them. Usually it is a parent, teacher or some other authoritative figure in our life which influences us in some way or another in our early stage of development. I am sure you have all hear your parents say something like: “you must get good grades if you want to be successful,” “get a good job so you can make a good living,” “nothing comes easy in life” “money does not grow on trees” or etc… Whatever you heard from your parents or anyone else who had an influence on you; you most likely heard it enough that it transformed from words into a thought and then eventually became one of your beliefs.
We tend to believe what they tell us and then we end up carrying those beliefs with us into adulthood. We usually make up excuses about not being good enough to do something in our lives; our self image of ourselves is damaged.
