How often does it seem that success and fortune are passing you by? How often do recognitions go to individuals who are less deserving, who don't have your skills and competences?

You know that you're capable and you know that you'll excel if you're given a chance.

So, what exactly is keeping you from achieving greatness?

The answer is often a lot simpler than what people believe.

The biggest obstacle to success hides inside your own brain.

That obstacle is called your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is the gatekeeper of your memories, values, past experiences and behaviors.

It creates shortcuts to take some burden off the conscious mind.

Such shortcuts, however, can result in toxic behaviors, hindrances and self-imposed limitations you don't really understand.

When you let the autopilot take control, you simply browse through life. You have no agency and you are just an observant. Somebody else is in the driver's seat - past trauma, negative experiences and harmful episodes.
