Deep dives

Understanding the Origins of Beliefs

Beliefs are not inherent; individuals are born with a clean slate and develop their belief systems based on influences from parents, teachers, and personal experiences. These beliefs shape perceptions of self-worth, capabilities, and limitations, often leading to self-deprecating thoughts such as 'I'm not good enough' or 'I don't deserve success'. Such negative beliefs can create a cycle of disempowerment, where the brain seeks evidence to support these limiting beliefs, inherently filtering out any contradictory evidence. This process underscores the importance of addressing destructive beliefs that constrain personal growth and achievement.
