Understanding Mental Limitations

Many of the limitations we face stem from our own minds rather than physical constraints. The concept of self-efficacy, popularized by psychologist Dr. Albert Bandura, emphasizes that our belief in our abilities significantly impacts our actual performance. This mental framework can create barriers that prevent us from attempting challenges, such as asking for a pay raise or starting a new venture. Recognizing that these limitations are often self-imposed can be the first step toward overcoming them.
