Limiting beliefs. The things that parents inadvertently drill into their kids, the thoughts that teasing kids inflict upon others, the ideas that a husband or boss can feed to us....
Religion was a big one that my parents inflicted on me. Kids teasing me when I was young made me think that I wasn't pretty. Husband (ex) making me think it was a bad and dangerous world out there. Boss making me believe I was better than everyone else and then yanking the rug out from under my feet.
Wading through these limiting beliefs is an educational journey. Maybe I need to be grateful for them because they are teaching me how to become more spiritual, conscious and aware.
The things that hold us back are the things that once analyzed and absorbed, help us to grow into the people we are searching for in the end.
