Like the elephants,how many of you believe you cannot do a thing,simply because you (42)B once before?Do you often tell (43)A"I cannot dance"or"I'm not good at math"?
These are (44)D of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you're (45)C for them.A limiting belief that says you're poor at math may have (46)D as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math,or the remarks made by someone important to you which (47)B you.The cool thing is that because you create the (48)A you can choose to change it!Here is how:
First,(49)D it with"I am good at math".Once you change your (50)B,your subconsciousness will make this (51)A by driving you to act.That might be to take a math course or to go online (52)C help,etc.Gradually you'll really see your math skills are (53)A.
This is such a simple process that you can (54)D it today.Don't be like the poor elephant and make your life (55)B at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
