Our brain loves to stick to well-trodden paths, which is why we continue to waste time in jobs we don’t like, remain in hopeless relationships, cling to bad habits, and fear taking risks and responsibility. But in order to stop postponing life for later, we need to break the endless cycle of self-sabotage and get out of the rut: stop comparing ourselves to others, rid ourselves of passivity, fear, and self-flagellation. Business coach and productivity expert Byron Morrison explains how to do this in his book. He will help you break free from seven limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Exercises, practical tips, and thought-provoking questions make this book an indispensable assistant for anyone wanting to achieve real results in life.

Quotes

"When you try to do something new — even if you think it leads to success, happiness, or achieving goals — your brain essentially screams: 'Don’t do it! Leave everything as it is!' Even if you are unhappy with what is happening in your life, your brain is more comfortable dealing with the known. After all, you have survived what has happened, regardless of the struggles and difficulties. By this logic, what exists now is much safer than anything new."

"Of course, I had brief periods of enlightenment, but just like New Year's resolutions, they quickly faded into the background. Today turned into tomorrow, next week, next month... As a result, a year went by, and I had made no progress. The tendency to let life take its course and put up with chronic suffering is the main reason we get stuck in the cycle of self-sabotage. Subconsciously, you feel that constant suffering is less burdensome than the potential discomfort of trying to change the situation."

"You can never fully control what happens around you, but one thing you can always control is your choice of how to respond."

"Take, for example, failure. When you don’t get the desired result, it’s easy to feel like a failure and convince yourself it will happen over and over again. But is that true? Is it guaranteed? Just because something bad happened once doesn’t mean it will happen again. And if something did happen, negative experiences provide the opportunity to learn what not to do next time to avoid failing again. That's why every failure is a step toward finally doing everything right."
