A few years ago, I was filled with crippling insecurity and was practically devoured by my own brain because of how many doubts I had. 😔
I thought I was a nobody and deserved nothing. I even used to downplay my own strengths, and it got to a point where I was fully convinced...that I had no strengths at all.
I was afraid to win in anything because I thought winning would give me the spotlight, and how can I deserve a spotlight on me? (I can't believe I thought like that)
I also thought winning or excelling in any area in my life was rude because I was getting ahead of the people around me. So I kept myself small for a long time.
On top of that, I had a victim’s mentality, where I thought the world was only cruel to me, that I couldn't find any person whom I could trust and that every problem somehow ended up with me.
I believed that It was “me vs the world." And, of course, my life reflected that.
Because all I could find was trouble. All I could get were problems.
People mocked me. Ignored me. I couldn’t earn much. And every day felt like suffocation.
But if my negative beliefs turned into reality, does that mean the positive ones will also turn into reality?
The answer was yes. 🤯
I proved it when I immersed myself in the minds of the highly successful.
I studied hundreds of hours of interviews with CEOs, startup founders, and multimillionaires...the ones who could actually articulate their thinking, not just their strategies.
And then I realised that they operate with a different mind.
And most of their life success came not only from the tactics but from conquering their beliefs first (being the master of their own mind)
So I went through my own life, reflected deeply, and worked on each limiting belief one by one.
And slowly… my reality shifted. 🌊
And I started seeing positivity in every area of my life.
Now strangers smile at me, people compliment and praise me, but the best part about it is that I no longer need validation.
I'm no longer attached to the outcomes.
I'm no longer looking at people's faces to seek their approval, I'm no longer a people pleaser, and I'm no longer actively wanting things out of people.
Work-wise, my mind is clear, ideas flow easily, and I can work for hours without even noticing time pass. I get the same dopamine from work now that I once got from distractions.
I get ideas to innovate my business, and there's no longer the brain fog which once consumed me completely.
Also, it became clear to me that everything in this world is abundant for us.
Most importantly, I realized the world is abundant.
Scarcity was just a lens I chose. And when you choose scarcity, that’s all you’ll see.
If you look at the tree while driving a car, you'll eventually end up crashing into it.
That's why you need to 'keep your eyes on the road.'
♻️ Quick action tips:
1) if you find yourself being a victim:
Tell yourself everything is my fault; no one else is to blame. The government isn't bad, the people around me aren't bad, and even my enemies aren't bad. Instead, my own thinking is bad but it can be changed. (that's the starting point)
2) If you find yourself doubting:
Use the repetitive prompts (if X happens, initiate prompt Y), reassure yourself by quickly stating why you're doing what you're doing and what the benefits are of doing that, and doubts will disappear (i'll be able to explain it further on a video or a call)
3) If you're in a negative state (feeling anxious, envious, jealous)
Remember, you're avoiding some of the important work, which is causing this. Start doing that and getting quick wins, and this negative feeling will dissolve. If it doesn't, then something else is bothering you, which needs to be addressed (dw I'll diagnose it for you)
4) If you think winning is rude:
Follow the it's ok to win rule / it's ok to have the spotlight " rule. Why? Because it's much better to win than to lose. Think about it, there are people who've gambled their lives away, lost their family, and they're walking down the street homeless, and they're ok with it.
Why can't you be ok in pursuing your dreams, putting in the work and getting out of your comfort zone if it means that it will give you tons of benefits (freedom, fulfilment, tons of money)? Instead, you should be proud to win.
There are tons more that I've compiled (that I need to add on this board) and am willing to share with people who actually want to conquer their limiting beliefs and finally live freely.
Because freedom isn’t just about time, money, or location.
It’s also about being free from your own negative thoughts.
