Society has progressed way faster than our biology
Limiting beliefs, and perhaps all beliefs, are a perfect example of this. Limiting beliefs were helpful when we had to quickly learn not to mess with wild beasts and not to eat certain plants. 'Sabretooth tiger = possible death' is a useful limiting belief. That belief would actually keep a human safe. Limiting beliefs were also useful in tribal relations. They served as a way to reinforce tribal norms and group cohesion. But that is not the world we live in anymore.
In Today's World,
limiting beliefs only hold us back from being happy and successful. They cause us to reduce the options we have in life. If someone believes 'they always fail,' they probably will not pursue a genius business idea. My fear of abandonment led me to end relationships because I was afraid they would abandon me. Crazy, right? Limiting beliefs convince you to do crazy things in order to prevent possible suffering. Limiting beliefs have a way of making exactly what you are afraid of, happen.
Here's to blasting through those pesky limiting beliefs! Nice post Prism!
With the way we are raised in our culture it's easy to come by and hold onto these limiting beliefs. Really all beliefs are limiting, the truth is the truth, it doesn't need to be believed in.
Exactly! When you surrender the emotional attachments to beliefs, they simple become concepts one is unattached to.
Such a wonderful philosophy deserve my upvote , waiting for more

Okay, I'll bite. What would be an example of a "non-limiting" belief? (However modern we are, I'd still say saber-tooth tiger (or any like beast) = death is still a wise one. :)
Yep I fully agree with you, I think people think and worry themselves into sickness. Manifesting reality. That's why I always try to think positive I think it's very healing.
Thanks for sharing =]
