How Are Self-Limiting Beliefs Fostered?

Before we jump in to the how. let us first examine what are Self Limiting Beliefs?

As the name implies these beliefs tend to restrict your potentials because you grow up by perceiving yourself from the mirror society holds in front of you.

The irony lies in the fact that the society decides your personality, traits and abilities and you keep yourself in dark.

The society’s judgments are so overwhelming that they cease you to navigate your personality through your own being, let alone question them.

However, people at work may have entirely different views for you. your active involvement at a conference or your effective initiation of a certain task led them to think otherwise.

In their viewpoint, your this approach at work is the clear evidence of the fact that you possess attributes of becoming a good leader.
