It’s a well-known and overused fact that at the core of everything we do or don’t do, is where our beliefs are based. Beliefs manage our expectations, help us develop a worldview of what is and isn’t possible, and then assign all activities to ‘possible.’
Through understanding what is possible, we stop ourselves from jumping off the side of buildings in order to get to the bottom quicker, or trying to fly; it’s ingrained in our subconscious that we can do things that are possible, and cannot do things that aren’t.
Simple. Until you consider, that you may be wrong.
This, of course, is another self-help cliché: that if you can believe in something, and drag it into the realm of possibility, then you can make it happen – but how do you do it?
