Lecture Notes: Limitless Life vs. Life of Limitations

Introduction

• Key Question: Why do some people live a limitless life while others live with limitations?
• Thesis: A limitless life or a life of limitations is a choice and a decision.

• Issue: Lack of self-trust leads to lack of confidence.
• Solution: Build confidence by keeping promises to yourself and trusting your own decisions.

Decisions vs. Choices
