Break the Cycle of Limiting Beliefs


Where do your limiting beliefs come from? Are they really yours, or did you take them on from someone else? The reality is that many of your deep rooted beliefs (the good and the bad) came from your parents or other authority figures when you were young.


Think back to when you were a child, there were probably a few phrases that you heard repeatedly from your parents, that have since become your own limiting beliefs. A couple of examples would be "Money doesn't grow on trees", or "Rich people are greedy".


These beliefs our parents had were probably passed down to them by their parents, who learned them from their parents, and so on. The important thing is that you forgive them, they certainly didn't mean to cause you any harm. They were just trying to teach you and guide you the only way they knew how, which is the same way they learned.


The good news is that you can break the cycle. You can reprogram your mind with new, supportive beliefs that will assist you in reaching your goals. You can then pass on these positive beliefs to your children and watch them build the life of their dreams.
