So many people grow up believing that there's no way to escape their past, and that their past will dictate their future. There are plenty of people who believe that "No one ever really changes" too. Separately or together, these are powerful but discouraging beliefs that have been passed from one generation to another for a very long time. It's time to put them to rest. You didn't ask for all the beliefs that were contributed to your mind by other people, places, things and events. They just ended up there the same way they do for every other kid when they're growing up. Those contributions will keep right on happening too, until you realize it's okay to start thinking your own thoughts about what might be possible, and making your own decisions about what you believe. It's easy to start identifying the beliefs and thoughts that aren't doing you any favors. They're the ones that make you feel "less than." I wrote this book so you would have a way to start decluttering your mind of all those "less than" thoughts and beliefs that were never really yours to begin with. They were simply lessons someone else chose for you, and now it's time to get clarity about which of those thoughts and beliefs work for you, so you can begin letting go of the ones that have been holding you back from being the best version of yourself.
