Short transcript excerpt of a YouTube video by John Assaraf discussing self-limiting behaviors. Assaraf states that such behaviors largely stem from identity, beliefs, fears, and conditioning (parents, teachers, school, experiences) rather than conscious choice, and recommends deliberately upgrading identity, beliefs, and skills so actions align with one’s vision and goals.

What I wish everybody would know about self limiting behaviors first and foremost is.
That it's.
Not because you chose them. For the most part, your self limiting behaviors are based on your identity, your beliefs, your.
Fears, and.
The conditioning that you receive from your parents, teachers, school, and of course your own experiences. And so if we want to create self empowering.
Behaviors, then we have to.
Create a deliberate.
Path to.
Upgrading our.
Identity, upgrading.
Our beliefs, and then upgrading our skills, and then taking the actions.
That align with.
The vision and goals that we want to achieve.
