How Can Self Limiting Beliefs Affect Exponential Growth

Decent Essays
You limit yourself. Do you tell yourself that you’re not smart enough? Do you believe you’ll never be as successful? Do you hear yourself say I shouldn’t do that? When you see something you want, do you convince yourself that you’ll never afford it? These are examples of self-limiting beliefs and they will destroy your exponential growth.

Limiting beliefs are false beliefs about rights, duties, abilities and permissions that inhibit us from living a visionary life. This type of thinking inhibits our growth, pricks at our confidence and damper our success thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy and affirming our false beliefs even further.

Visionaries are able to separate facts from false beliefs. Because they think of possibilities

    Doctrine of Perpetual Growth – Robbin’s presents the idea of perpetual growth, an earmark of capitalism, which is defined just as it sounds: an idea or believe that a society or culture can experience an everlasting growth within their economy. Western culture holds on to this idea of perpetual growth, and through agents such as capitalism, modernism, industrialism, they attempt to make it possible.

    Striving for success is a part of a person's natural human instinct. In the past, growing was always the result of putting oneself outside of one's comfort zone. In fact, if people never tried anything new, today might look very different. Ralph Waldo Emerson's statement on growth makes the perception of achieving success very clear. Growing as a person is a result of expanding one's exposure to fields outside of his or her comfort zone, as seen through the very denotation of the word "expand," the power it provides that individual to expand already known knowledge into a more detailed, mastered form, and the increased ability of one's role in society.…
