Some people choose to live a stagnant life, without any form of personal growth. But if you’re reading this, you obviously do care about your progress.

You’re striving for progress, otherwise you wouldn’t read this. But sometimes, even the most optimistic people have limiting beliefs that hold us back from what we want. We all have certain ideas in our minds that hold us back.

I’ve seen too many people waste their potential and live unhappily because they can’t overcome those beliefs. Here are the most destructive limiting beliefs I’ve observed over the years. Get over these, and you will never live timidly again.

“I need to know everything before I start”

You hardly ever have 100% of the information you need before you start something new.

We often overthink things which leads to Analysis Paralysis. We get stuck in a thinking pattern, and we can’t decide. We keep going back and forth.

We’re afraid we’ll make the “wrong” decisions. And this holds us back. We all know this is a waste of time, and yet, we keep looking for answers before we do something.
