So i’ve always intuitively felt since I was a kid that we all came here with instructions/purpose from God but as we (kids) get older and are indoctrinated into sytems of the world and by our parents belief systems we forget our instructions and spend most of our lifetime getting hit by clues and reminders from strangers that don’t understand why they are saying the things they say to you…. Just thinking out loud… this maybe my next script.

It’s funny, but I believe that we learn about our limitations as kids so much that we forget about our capacity to do things as adults.

Love this topic… I’ll watch when your script becomes a film

Interesting Lawrence. And Thank you Brett. Do you believe we learn ABOUT our limitations or are they spoken into us?

@nicole-brown I have no expertise in the psychology of this topic, but I believe limitations become ingrained throughout childhood from a variety of sources. When coaching youth sports, I read a lot about the mental aspect and one element really caught my attention because I was coaching my daughter’s softball team at the time. I’m not going to get the explanation exactly right, but the general concept was that up to a certain age (around 12) both boys and girls feel like they can do anything. Around that age, boys still have confidence that often outsizes actual ability. At the same time girls’ abilities are higher than their confidence let’s them believe. Sports can have a big impact on countering that phenomenon. There’s examples outside of sports that have similar effect (music, art, etc), but my frame of reference was from coaching.

@nicole-brown I also think about parenting and trying to let kids work through discomfort vs. “fix” things for them. In an achievement culture, we might be holding kids back from developing their passion/purpose.
