Omar Zenhom compares limiting beliefs to bugs in software code. The mental scripts we inherit, especially from immigrant families with scarce resources, create a ceiling on what feels possible. Like fixing code, you can identify and rewrite these thoughts to unlock new possibilities.
Killing your old thoughts, old scripts, old thinking, outdated ideas. These rules that I think that set my life, what's possible, what's not possible, can really change what's possible in my own life, what I can actually do. And the reason why this really hit home for me is, like I mentioned, you know, I grew up in an immigrant family. We didn't grow up with money. I inherited so many of old thoughts that my parents had, and they tried their best. How do you change that when it's so cemented from day one since you were born? So you need to change that way of thinking in order for you to start doing this. These thoughts that are stopping you from succeeding, that are putting a ceiling on your success, they're just bugs in the system, right? And you can rewrite your code and clean those bugs.
