Limiting beliefs are sneaky. They often feel like truths when, in reality, they’re barriers we’ve unknowingly placed in our own paths.
As an artist, one of my biggest limiting beliefs was, Every painting has to be perfect. That belief paralyzed me. I’d stare at the canvas, afraid to make a mistake, and the result was often stiff and uninspired work.
It wasn’t until I started questioning that belief that my art truly began to flow. What if the goal wasn’t perfection but expression? What if mistakes weren’t failures but opportunities? Letting go of that limiting belief opened the door to creative freedom—and it’s a lesson I carry into all areas of my life.
In your own life, what beliefs might be keeping you boxed in? Maybe it’s the idea that you need to have all the answers before starting something new or that success looks a certain way. Take a moment to question those beliefs and consider: What might be possible if you let them go?
