That's a world in which you certainly can't win! Your limiting belief is not necessarily apparent as a "there's something wrong with me" kind of "I am." Sometimes it's just a matter of seeing what you believe is The Truth about who you are, that's just the way it is. You had the bad fortune to be born into a world that won't allow you to grow or flourish (that's a belief worth examining for truth, by the way). And it leads you back to the habitual negative meaning you make: "I am a person who was born into a world that won't allow me to grow or flourish." My guess is that your little child-self probably put it more kid-dy, more succinctly, and in a way that puts an arrow into your heart as an enlightened, conscious adult, because if you heard your own little child express the belief the way she believes it, you would wish for her more power in letting go of what she doesn't need.

That is the one really big power a child does have, though; he believes what he believes and no one can *make* him not believe it.
