Summary
Break free from old thinking patterns. Most of us have everything we need to succeed—except the right mindset. Learn how to unlearn limiting beliefs and take control of your growth journey.
The story
What’s the one thing you wish you had figured out 10 years ago? That one idea, habit, or mindset shift that could have changed everything?
Here’s a tough truth: most of us are stuck not because we lack resources, but because we think the same way we always have. If you want something different, you have to think differently. That means unlearning outdated beliefs, replacing bad habits, and challenging everything you assume is “just the way it is.”
Take self-education. We live in an era where you can learn *anything*—skills, strategies, mindset shifts—all for free if you have the will to search, study, and apply. Yet, so many people wait for permission, for a sign, or for something external to push them forward. Real power comes when you take control of your own learning and growth—not waiting for the world to hand it to you.
And what about failure? Most people fear it, avoid it, run from it. But every single successful person you admire has failed more times than you’ve even tried. What separates them is they learned from those failures, adjusted, and kept pushing. They didn’t take it as a sign to stop.
Chapter 7 of *The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21* dives deep into this. It’s about developing the mindset, habits, and actions that actually move the needle in your life.
So, are you willing to challenge yourself? To unlearn what’s holding you back? To educate yourself beyond what school ever taught? Because *that* is how real empowerment starts.
The question is: Are you ready?
