You were taught to conform, not to create. Your beliefs were installed before you could think for yourself. 7 Beliefs shows you how to reclaim your genius, find your calling, and live a life that actually matters.
Your beliefs function like blinders on a horse — they control what you see and what you don't. And you didn't choose them. Society did. Before you could think for yourself.
Your beliefs determine what is and what is not in your awareness — what you see and what you don't see. You're living someone else's script.
