Out of the womb, a child's mindset will focus towards its survival. It craves all the essentials of its nurture: food, water, and warmth. As it physically adapts to its surrounding environment, it will do whatever it takes to get what it wants. Give it water, it will drink. Give it food, it will eat. Put him in a body of water, it will swim. Show him something attractive, he will do everything in its physical capability to obtain it. Though over time, it will adapt to its limitations. It will learn of constraints. The mind will become conditioned with actions that "cannot" be done. Don't touch this. Don't eat that. Don't yell. Don't take things without asking. Don't talk to strangers. Cry, and you will receive attention.
While social etiquette is essential for survival in society, we have become conditioned with some really unnecessary socal conditionings. Many of which are self-limiting beliefs. Successes are proclaimed to be "difficult" to achieve. Accomplishing something miraculous is said to be for the "gifted." Survival is not easy. Complacency will then allow you to bear with the idea of "unachievable" desires. While some irrational desires may never be satisfied.. Next time you truly want something, try and determine if there are any self-limiting beliefs that are stopping you from achieving your goal. And if there are any, disarm them. The only thing we control is our choice, and what we chose creates our world.
"Fulfilling your destiny also means making sacrifices. You are not choosing the typical path. Your parents, friends, and cat may question your decisions. They may think you are selfish and foolish. That's life. Follow your dreams and become comfortable with being misunderstood." - W. Elise
