No matter what goal you want to achieve, no matter what you think your\u00a0blocks might be, or what problems you might be experiencing in your life and circumstances, everything\u00a0comes back to your mind.<\/p>\n

If you want to overcome an obstacle, you start with your mindset. If you want more success, you start with your mindset. This is because…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is within your control<\/strong> stems directly from your mind. It begins in your\u00a0beliefs,\u00a0which\u00a0drive\u00a0most of your thought patterns, giving rise to the majority of your feelings, which incline your choices and actions (or\u00a0inaction), and therefore create\u00a0results in your life.<\/li>\n
  2. What is not<\/em> within your control<\/strong> is still<\/em> perceived and interpreted\u00a0by you through the filter of your beliefs, which\u00a0again drive\u00a0your thought patterns, giving rise to your feelings, inclining your choices and action, therefore producing results in response to whatever is going on around you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your mindset is therefore key\u00a0to the proactive creation\u00a0of what you want in your life<\/strong>, and your reactive response to\u00a0life happening<\/strong> around you.<\/p>\n

    Most people have some type of limitation in their mindset, which either shows up as\u00a0problems in their life\u00a0or a cap on the extent\u00a0of success they experience –\u00a0be it in love, relationships, health, body, money, lifestyle or career\/business.<\/p>\n

    Why is My Mindset Limited?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Your\u00a0mindset is simply a\u00a0result of the way you\u00a0have been conditioned over your\u00a0lifetime. For example, from\u00a0the day that you were born your\u00a0mind\u00a0observed the\u00a0world around you.\u00a0You\u00a0absorbed information, conversations, experiences and outcomes, doing your best to interpret and formulate what you\u00a0believed to be true about yourself, other people and life. Your current\u00a0beliefs, fears and expectations were\u00a0all conditioned in some way by your\u00a0parents, family, teachers, peers, relationships, bosses, colleagues, friends, advertising, social media, news media and more. The broader environment of your\u00a0generation, country, culture and society has had an influence on your\u00a0mindset.<\/p>\n

    Throughout your life to date, your\u00a0mind has\u00a0always been busy\u00a0making sense\u00a0of all of this, to formulate the best way to get by, to be good and successful, and to avoid pain. This is true for everyone. As your\u00a0mind automatically\u00a0formulates beliefs in this process, some of those beliefs end up being useful and liberating, but others\u00a0can be\u00a0harmful and limiting.<\/p>\n

    This mindset is\u00a0your unique paradigm, your “model of reality”. It is like a pair of coloured glassed you wear, which tint what\u00a0you\u00a0see and believe to be true, based on the unique path your\u00a0life has taken and the conditioning you\u00a0have experienced. As you\u00a0go about your\u00a0life, your\u00a0mind perceives\u00a0what is happening around you\u00a0with your\u00a0senses, filtering it all through your beliefs, and interpreting everything\u00a0according\u00a0to that. This then drives most of your thought patterns, feelings,\u00a0communication and action, and therefore produces the results of your\u00a0life.<\/p>\n

    Most issues can easily be traced back to a\u00a0blocked mindset in this way – either because it is in your control and you are generating issues directly THROUGH\u00a0your mindset or because of how you are perceiving something outside of your control FROM\u00a0your mindset.<\/p>\n

    People become stuck in their conditioning, and like a\u00a0scratched CD they keep replaying<\/strong> the\u00a0same message, behavior, patterns and results on a\u00a0loop until something or someone comes along to bump them out of it, to interrupt the pattern<\/strong> and to introduce a whole new\u00a0mindset.<\/p>\n

    It is definitely not<\/em> your fault\u00a0if you have limitation in your mindset<\/strong> from unconscious conditioning that has taken place before you became aware of it, but once aware,\u00a0it is<\/em> your responsibility to do something about it<\/strong> – to help yourself.<\/p>\n

    Here are 8 common root-cause\u00a0limiting beliefs<\/strong>\u00a0that exist\u00a0below\u00a0most problems. While limiting beliefs can show up in all sorts of costumes, other versions of limiting beliefs often\u00a0boil down to one or more of these…<\/p>\n
