The mistake most people make upon hearing these things is to make the same assumptions that the people telling you these things make, which is that they believe that "this is the truth for everybody". It's not. It's their truth, because it is what they have accepted as limits to their potential. It will only become your limitation if you accept it as your truth as well. Which, of course, you do not have to!

This. So much this. I have lived for 29 years of my life letting those bullshit assumptions about reality shape my existence. I was always married to plan B without even having the balls to formulate a plan A, because I knew Plan A would be something so ambitious, I felt I wouldn't be "realistic" pursuing it. So I spent over a decade since graduating high school either doing nothing, not knowing what to do, trying to formulate a "realistic" life plan" or pursuing plan B, once I had once thought up. Only recently have I decided to come up with a plan A and see that to fruition: Learn to play guitar and do vocals and start a metal band and make a successful living as a musician. This will take precious years I could have been taking at least a decade ago, when I graduated high school, if only I had the balls to not listen to all the people in my life who had told me to "get real" and be accept their bullshit limitations. Don't make my mistakes. If there's one thing I've taken away from all I've come to learn in the past 2 or 3 years, it's that I can do whatever I want. We all can, if we're willing to let go of our limitations. And with the help of these subs and the "Becoming" Method, you've got advantages most people don't have. Don't make my mistakes. Figure out what plan A is and believe in your ability to accomplish it.
