Unchained: Break Free from False Beliefs / by Alexander Lyadov

No one knows what you're capable of, and that includes you. The macrocosm outside of you is infinite and unknowable. But the microcosm within you is also limitless and inexhaustible. At any moment, each of us is capable of surprising others and ourselves.

This often happens under the pressure of circumstances, less often by a conscious decision to test ourselves. If there are any limitations, they exist only in the form of false beliefs that prevent us from seeing what already is or could potentially be. The peculiarity of any false belief is that we don't perceive it as such. On the contrary, we hold dear what we have long believed in. We see our chains as golden bracelets and the noose around our neck as an original tie that makes us stand out from the grey crowd.

It's no wonder that changing our belief, and therefore our business, and especially our life, can be so difficult. Even if our minds understand that change is necessary, our subconscious resists with all its might, evading and slipping away. Any system seeks to preserve itself at any cost. Therefore, the system will never voluntarily renew itself (read: kill itself). Radical change requires an external catalyst. Either an experienced person will gently but persistently fulfill this function, or reality like a steamroller will brutally roll over us.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
