"It is impossible to solve a problem using the same principles of thinking that led to it"
— Albert Einstein

Limiting beliefs are disempowering negative generalizations we make about reality. We humans do not interact with reality by experiencing it directly, but through our belief systems. They, like the filters on instagram, distort reality. And many people forget that what they believe is not reality itself. Most people have dozens of beliefs about life that are both factually incorrect but also very very limiting in getting the results they want.

There is one very cool and simple rule:
Any area of life where you're not getting good results, where you're getting bad results, is an area where you have limiting beliefs at work.

"It is not normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement"
— Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow, in his study of outstanding, self-actualized people, found a common quality common to all of them--each of them is thoroughly grounded in their values. This knowledge and understanding allows you to feel more confident and to make difficult life decisions. A person's happiness is a very personal thing. You will be happy when you live your life in accordance with your ideals, so knowing them is fundamental to both identifying your favorite cause and living a rich and happy life.

"Most people spend more time planning parties or making Christmas lists than planning their lives"
— Dennis Wheatley

Setting quality, concrete, tangible goals is an art. I can be helpful in setting clear, powerful and inspiring goals that you want and can achieve, and I can be the one to help you remember them and see them through to the end.

"Here's my formula for living well: use your strengths in the major areas of your life every day to bring abundant fulfillment and true happiness"
— Marting Seligman

In the early 2000s, something revolutionary happened in the social sciences: Scientists discovered the 24 character strengths (virtues) common to all people that make up the best of our personality. Each person possesses all sides of character to varying degrees, so each person has a truly unique strengths profile. When a person realizes their most important strengths on a regular basis, they feel most fulfilled and are most likely to experience peak "Flow" states.

"The formula for Authenticity = knowing yourself + being responsible for yourself + being yourself. If any of the components is missing, it is not an authentic life"
— Steven Joseph

Как быть собой и быть уверенным в себе, когда ты даже не понимаешь, кто ты? Не на уровне имени или статуса в обществе, а самом своем ядре, тот Настоящий Ты. Именно это достижение и помогает людям понимать, чего они по-настоящему хотят от жизни, что их вдохновляет и наполняет, в чем они сильны, а в чем слабы.

"You must know what you want and be certain. You can never live in abundance or bring creative power to bear by sending unformed aspirations and vague desires"
— Wallace Wattles

Having a powerful, inspiring vision of the future is a characteristic of any outstanding creator throughout history. Most people live "with their eyes under their feet" and do not have a long-term vision for their lives--long-term goals, desires related to career, relationships, health, etc. The essence of the problem is that unless a person has such a vision, their life is unlikely to change for the better. "A ship without purpose has no tailwind.

"A well-formulated problem is a half-solved problem"
— Charles Kettering

The more important to you what you do, the stronger will be the force that prevents you from doing it. Resistance is the main enemy of all creators. By creativity I don't just mean its typical forms, but any work can be done as a creator or as a robot. Having a second, less biased, head can help a lot with clearly identifying problems and developing strategies to overcome them.

"Your ego will light a smoke bomb of fear. It will try to sabotage you by telling long stories about the horrors you will experience if you make the Great Leap into the Genius Zone"
— Gay Hendricks

Fear is one of the greatest obstacles to the realization of vocation. At its core, fear is an emotion that arises from negative thoughts about the future. When you anticipate pain or suffering that may happen in the future, you experience fear. Most of us have at least 2-3 major fears that control our lives. These fears, more often than not, exist because an event occurred in our past that caused us to experience a host of negative emotions, and now we live our lives actively trying to prevent that event from happening again.
