6 Self-Limiting Behaviors That’ll Keep You From Being Your Best
Change your mindset to create a better future
“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” — E.E. Cummings
Ever felt you weren’t qualified enough for a job? Make music but think no one will like your songs? Have you ever heard the following:
“I’m not sure if it’s meant for me.”
“I’m too old.”
“What if it doesn’t work out?”
We’ve all have had moments of uncertainty, but we shouldn’t allow these thoughts to control the narrative for our lives. The greatest reward we can give ourselves isn’t material things, but the gift of self-improvement.
In order to improve our lives, we have to overcome the limits we set on ourselves. Changing our mindset helps us to become the best version of ourselves.
