7 Toxic Beliefs That Can Keep People From Succeeding
Our beliefs are the engines on which we run our lives.
The kind of reality a person manifests is a direct reflection of their belief system. This is why having toxic beliefs can have serious consequences on how our lives turn out. That said, here are 7 toxic beliefs that often hold many people back.
7. “It’s too late to start”
Bill Gates once said that “people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.” People usually think it’s too late to start because they don’t see how much they can improve over time.
They assume that if they start something (like freelance writing or a clothing business), there will be too much competition for them to survive.
But what they often forget is that we all have our unique way of looking at life. And with time, you would have developed ideas that may be better than those that started before you.
6. “No one knows me”
I once told a friend one time that with her kind of physique, she would likely do well in the world of modeling. Her reply was, “Who do I know?”
Though I understand her worries quite well, the hard truth remains that beliefs like this keep many people down.
