Limited Beliefs are beliefs you have, that hold you back or limit you, from Achieving Your Desire. They are the perceived rules and consequences of what you can do with your life.
As you grow in age and mindfulness, retrospection and gratitude play a significant role in assisting you in recognizing what you are aware and capable of, refining your ability to identify and choose what it is you actually want to do now and deciding what beliefs and boundaries you are willing to hold yourself accountable to in this moment.
Only You limit yourself in actually doing what you want to do and you do that based on the perceived consequences you feel will be imposed because of the choice. The breakthrough come when you refine your beliefs enough to get you to where you want to go without falling in too many pitfalls along the way.
CAVEAT: BE CARFUL IN WHAT YOU DO, THERE ARE PITFALLS ALONG THE WAY AND CONSEQUENCES ARE REAL. Use your TFYT’s wisely to assist in avoiding those pitfalls.
So don’t be too attached to your beliefs. Beliefs are just models of reality, not reality itself. The fact is, you can’t ever be certain that any of your beliefs are true.
Limited Belief Recognition is simply the ability to recognize that these beliefs are holding you back and that with the proper mindset and guidance, you can change the limited belief into a catalyst that propels you past the limitation – this is limited belief recognition.

The strongest beliefs are subconscious, and they are hard to drop because your brain is really good at finding selective evidence to support them. But your brain is subject to confirmation bias. If you believe your limited beliefs, your brain is likely to emphasize every example to support it while ignoring any opportunities to correct it.
So don’t be too attached to your beliefs. Beliefs are just models of reality, not reality itself. The fact is, you can’t ever be certain that any of your beliefs are true.
Here’s the truth – If you take on a lot of negative beliefs about how the world works, or should work, the concept of truth loses value for you, and you will get in trouble at some point.
It is a choice
