Freud explained that everything in our unconscious is the cause of most of our actions.

Better still, we organize our lives in such a way that they obey what the unconscious program dictates.

This part of us therefore constantly influences our way of thinking. And also the choices we make in everyday practical life. Especially the decisive ones.

If you’ve read so far, now begins the most interesting part. Do not give up and listen to the good Nico.

I am an entrepreneur and I had to face the same processes in order to manage my company successfully, as I have been doing for several years now.

Here’s what you do.

1. Recognize what are the beliefs that limit you. Those that you inherited from your family.

Once you recognize and rationalize them, you’ll be one step ahead already.

You will know the limits between you and success. And this will help you already.

Because once you find your wrong beliefs, you can work on them as I’ll tell you later. And in the meantime, they can’t hold you back. You will begin to see the world with other eyes.

How to recognize them?

Start from an area of your life that you are not satisfied with. Work for example. Think about what you want that you can’t yet achieve.

Or think about the time you might have been faced with a difficulty. Or when you didn’t make it. You were one step away from your goal and you failed.

It happened to me too, and these experiences can help you.

“Ask yourself why you did not succeed. What convictions prevent you from going ahead and getting the result.”

Maybe you didn’t feel up to it? Maybe you thought you didn’t deserve success? Maybe your mother told you you weren’t fit for that job, and now you believe it?

Every time you fail or are afraid to do an action or start a project, ask yourself why.

I’ll tell you about a friend of mine who runs an investment fund. He only made it when he found out what was limiting him.

He was always losing money. He took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down everything he thought about trading.

Common expressions, that phrase that his father Paul was always repeating about finance, words and emotions. Everything without filters, and without judging. He emptied his mind.

Then he reread everything wondering how and what thoughts had influenced him negatively.

In this way he found his limiting beliefs. He worked on it as I’ll tell you later. And from there he started to earn in the stock exchange. And slowly he became successful.

Here, that’s what you’ll have to do first. You’ll probably be amazed. Because you’ll write down on that sheet sentences your parents used to repeat.

I list some wrong beliefs that circulate out there: maybe someone told you one of these as a child.

– I have to settle for what I receive

– Only those who are already rich make money

– If you make money you become materialistic

– Never trust people.

– Money does not bring happiness.

– We are in a moment of crisis and so I can not do…

– To have success you need to have the right friends

2. There is a way to destroy limiting beliefs. I’ll show you how to do it. You’ll get closer to having a successful mind.

This part is simpler and more fun: because the method it’s always the same.

You’ll probably find that you thought silly things about yourself.

Here’s how you do it!

Once you list your limiting beliefs, take one at a time.

Every belief is like a table, supported by legs.

Here the legs are other thoughts or personal experiences, or things always said by family or friends.

So you have to challenge these arguments that hold the belief.

Remember that a belief is a point of view. It’s how you see yourself, how you perceive the world.

If I say that I think I’m an interesting man, there is no computer that can tell me if it is true or false. There is only what I think in my mind.

So if I think I’m interesting I’m convinced. If I think I’m not, I’m convinced I’m not an interesting person.

And as a result, I’m going to end up behaving like an uninteresting man for real. I mean, my conviction comes true.

So let’s get back to practice.

Let me give you an example. The limiting thought is:

– Make money is made only by those who are already rich.

– The “legs” of this belief could be:

– I know a guy who makes a hell of a profit, but his dad was already rich

– My dad always said that to me

– My friend’s dad thinks that too

– I think without money it is difficult to start a business

Now have some fun dismantling each argument (with more than one reason too):

But I also know one other guy who’s made it on his own: certainly in your city you have more than one like him.
But there are also those who think differently, such as Anthony Robbins.

There is also a university professor who may think otherwise.

Think about how many ways there are to get some money: bank loan, partners, or starting with a few resources.

In reality, successful people, among the many beliefs, already consider themselves better than the average.

They basically trust themselves. They believe that they are capable of doing what they undertake.

This was demonstrated by a study published in 2019 in the scientific editorial Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

It was done by researchers from the University of Virginia and it was led by Professor Peter Belmi.

“They have also shown that the background influences the way people think and the attitudes that people have about their abilities.”

Do you understand? Your family can indeed affect your way of thinking.

But if you put this information into practice you will be able to eliminate beliefs that don’t suit you. Those that you have discovered that can limit you.

And so your mind will be freer to approach personal success.
