Who Told You?

“You can't have a successful business and a balanced life. You have to choose.”

“You're not pretty enough.”

“Life is not Disneyland. You can't have fun all the time.”

“You're not smart enough.”

“Work is not supposed to be fun.”

“You're too sick.”

“You're just a sinner in the hands of an angry God.”

“The only way to make a fortune is by working hard.”

“You're too young.”

“Sometimes bad things happen and you just can't find any good in it. It doesn't mean anything. It is what it is.”

“God doesn't want you to be rich.”

“You're too old.”

“You can't trust anyone.”

“You're ugly.”

“You're fat.”

“You're lazy.”

“Your best days are behind you.”

…and feel free insert your go-to limiting belief here, if I've missed it.
