I recently came across this talk & it affected me pretty deeply.
I feel like many of us have this "I am not enough" mindset deep down in their unconscious, and I think it can be either a driving factor for growth or the thing that limits their life severely.
What do I mean by this?
Either it fuels them to prove (generally their parents) wrong by making lots of money etc. or it cripples them because they don't explore their full potential. How is it determined who ends up where? I am not so sure...
Though, I believe having that "I am not enough mindset" is making people incredibly unhappy, no matter if it inhibits them from growing as a person in their subconscious mind, or if they have used it as a driving factor to build a large business, make lots of money etc...
You won't fix that mindset by making any amount of money or getting anything else materialistic. I'm not saying that materialistic things are bad at all, what I mean though is that they won't make you feel truly fulfilled if you weren't fulfilled before.
Just listen to that example of the movie director in Beverly Hills who got enraged when a car that wasn't at least a Porsche or Lamborghini was standing on his street. Even though he was successful, the whole time he was only trying to prove that he was "enough", preventing him from living life to the fullest and making him happy. After he made that switch, his life turned around drastically.
It starts with a switch on your mind, knowing that YOU ARE ENOUGH and that you can do anything you want. Through that video, I realised I had a huge issue with that, and I am now slowly starting to change it.
What do you guys think about this? Does that way of thinking subconsciously also affect you?
