How to Identify and Break Through Limiting Beliefs: Unlock Your Full Potential

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a cycle, unable to move forward no matter how hard you try? You set goals, but something holds you back whether it’s fear, doubt, or a nagging voice that tells you “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t do that.” If this sounds familiar, you’re likely dealing with limiting beliefs those invisible mental barriers that keep you from reaching your full potential. In…

There is an animal called the African impala. If you know about it, you’d know that it can leap nearly 3 meters high while standing in one place and can jump forward up to 9 meters.

However, 

When this African impala is captured in a zoo, the wall surrounding it is only about 1 meter high, yet it never tries to jump over it. When research was conducted to find out why it doesn’t jump, it was discovered that unless the impala can see what lies ahead, it feels it cannot move forward.

The same thing happens to us. When we can’t see the road ahead, we hesitate to take that first step because we want to see everything all the way to the end. But the truth is, there’s a much bigger path ahead of what we can currently see. 

You should take that first step. When we start climbing stairs, we don’t practically see the last step, but as you move forward step by step, you eventually reach the final step.

In relation to that one poll that's going around, my opinion on if Ceroba would have kids again depends more heavily on the circumstances in the future and not so much on who her partner is...

I get the sense that Ceroba would want to pursue a relationship again once she gets over her idolization of Chujin (bc, let's be real, she's not gonna so much as glance at someone else while she's 1.) still in mourning, and 2.) still sees Chujin as such a perfect guy that nobody else can compare to him). It'd take some time and whoever her partner is better be patient with her bc she's gonna be grappling with guilt trying to move on from Chujin bc even though she'd be at a point where she can admit that Chujin wasn't a perfect husband, she still loved him very deeply and loving someone else romantically the same(ish)* way she loved him would make her feel like she's betraying Chujin at the worst of times. But I can still see her dating someone else in the future as a pretty strong possibility.

But like, that's something that's years down the line, what else has happened in the meantime? Has the Barrier been broken? Has Amalgamate Kanako been returned to her? Is this a world where Clover gets revived post-Barrier break? Did the barrier break down before or after she's decided to move on and start dating again? How badly does her partner want kids? How well does her partner know her history with these sorts of things? And on and on. She might just be too busy dealing with life in general to even think about having another kid, so if the question gets popped, her rejection wouldn't depend so much on what happened with Kanako (though it's certainly a factor) but more on what's going on in the present/foreseeable future.

I do know that if she was willing to have another kid, she'd have to deal with a ton of guilt over feeling like she ruined Kanako's life and "What if I repeat my mistakes all over again???" She has a lot that she's gotta overcome, but moving on from her mistakes and having another kid is a possibility for her.

Kanako (and all of her other parts... hoping there isn't a Jerry in the mix :|) would love to be a big sibling though!

*I say same(ish) because 1.) insert some poetic nonsense about how people don't love other people the same exact way and every relationship between two people, romantic or platonic, is unique, and 2.) she better NOT be idolizing her new partner the same way she did with Chujin, I swear to god

Break The Science Barrier : Why Science Matters - Richard Dawkins

Break the Science Barrier is a TV documentary that I presented on Channel 4 in 1996. It argues for the importance, for society, of scientific ways of thinking. In it, I interviewed David Attenborough, Alec Jeffreys, who discovered DNA fingerprinting, and Douglas Adams, who gave a wonderful impromptu eulogy for science. I also interviewed a man who was wrongly convicted of murder because none of the lawyers, on either side, knew anything about science. The program ends on a more positive note – what I later came to call Science in the Soul.

-

"Like most scientists, I'm a realist, but I'm also a bit of a romantic. I appreciate that there are people who think they need something more than science can offer. Something, frankly, undefinable. But I think science does offer all we need. Not just to understand the 'how' of life, with its great richness and complexity. For me, science goes as far as we meaningfully can go towards answering the 'why' as well."

When Does Lowering Expectations Turn into Pessimism?

I had a conversation over the phone with a good friend today, and it shook something loose in me—this habit we all have of lowering our expectations to avoid disappointment. I was telling him about an interview I’d just had, and while he was hyping me up, I found myself downplaying every little thing. I said something along the lines of, "I just don’t want to expect too much. You know, expect the worst but hope for the best."

Side note: If you don’t already have friends who call you out when you start selling yourself short, get some.

After a while, my friend had enough of my self-deprecating act. He interrupted me and said, "We’re not doing this. We’re not going to sabotage good vibes, hard work, and you doing a good job. You need to be proud of yourself. Why are you going through life lowering expectations just to avoid being let down?"

His words hit me like a brick. It made me stop and think—at what point does "keeping expectations low" stop being about protecting yourself and start being pessimism? Isn’t limiting your expectations the same as limiting your potential? Isn’t it cutting off the wings of possibility before they even have a chance to take flight?

Suddenly, I realized this wasn’t about "being realistic." I was sabotaging myself. We convince ourselves that keeping expectations low will shield us from disappointment, but maybe it’s just fear in disguise. Isn’t it just another way of saying we don’t believe we deserve the best?

When you lower your expectations, are you really being cautious, or are you quietly telling yourself that the best outcomes are meant for someone else? It’s a slippery slope, and I’ve been sliding down it for too long.

What do you think? How do you balance staying grounded without snuffing out hope? And when does "managing expectations" turn into something darker—into pessimism that holds you back from the very things you deserve?

guys I just survived a ladder that wanted to kill me. cheers

[draco-renn]

Man. All I do these days is fail to meet expectations and then get upset at myself for failing to meet those expectations. This sucks.

[youarenot-theexception]

Is it too much to ask for to someone to just WANT to text me and get to know me and love me despite me putting up every single wall possible to prevent them from doing so, but their love for shatters these walls and makes it through??? I just want to feel seen, and not because I seek attention but I just want someone to want me the way I want to get to know my favourite people. Am i anyone's favourite? Why can't people just love freely these days? I just want someone to understand the way I feel loved and love me loud, proud and filled with joy and I want to feel it radiating from their presence too.

One day, man. One day.

thinking about this but: on the divide between amanita / yvonne, nita tries to separate herself from her life as yvonne because she feels she is no longer worthy of the name / life connected to it. in her mind, she survived & thus that means she is deserving of life, but not that life if that makes sense? she failed as yvonne & her choosing a new name is her Essentially burying herself & using it as emotional compost

more drawing practice today, when i start its always like nooo i dont wanna :( and then i ask myself. why? because its hard? and push through and it always gets easier after that.

[sastielsfandom]

I see a lot of advice for artists to draw every day even if it's "lazy" art. Doodle, throw color wherever, make some lines, just create!

That can be applied to writing as well. Forget about grammar, forget about plots, just throw some words down, write whatever! Whatever is in your mind, just do it.

It's the practice of it. It gets easier as you keep doing it. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, let it be bad, let it be silly, let it be whatever, just let it be.

I've been doing my best to write every day and writing a thousand words used to drain me, now it feels like a warm up.

Writing anything used to take me a bit to recover and now I'm jumping in between stories and trying to tell myself to slow down the ideas aren't going anywhere.

It just takes time. And trust a lot of it has been bad writing and you have to accept that not everything will be good. But I'd rather create for passion over greatness any day.

So, open up a journal or a google doc, notes app, whatever is at your disposal and write something. Doesn't have to be long, just try.
