The stories you attach your worth to in your mind…
Become the limits of your life in reality.
The older I get, the more clear this becomes.
Most people are where they are…
And end up so much less than they could have been…
Because they didn’t think highly enough of themselves in their mind.
These people almost always have created part of their identity rooted in having the “hardest upbringing”...
They hold onto limiting thoughts such as...
"Bad things only happen to me"
"I wasn't born to be great"
"I don't have the skills that other people have"
They trap themselves in a self-fulfilling prophecy of perpetual struggle in life.
They never overcome it because they can’t shift their identity mentally…
They can't overcome the thoughts that limit their potential and dictate their reality.
Stop focusing on how hard you had it…
Stop identifying with thoughts that downplay your ability...
Start focusing on the progress you are making toward overcoming and stomping on the beliefs that limit your growth...
Your identity is your choice.
