The reason your ambitions are limited

It's not because you know what's right, it's because of your beliefs.

If you don’t believe you can accomplish something, you won’t look for ways to accomplish it.

If you believe something is possible and YOU can accomplish it, you will look for ways to make it happen.

Let me break it down for you with my story.

I dropped out of high school and became a software engineer.

I made a firm commitment and believed in myself. I was going to drop out of high school and land a full-time job as a software engineer.

I did the best I could to make it happen. I refused to believe it wasn’t possible despite the start of the pandemic and the lay-offs at the time

Now, on the other hand, people around me refused to believe it was possible.

They thought I was crazy.

They thought I was joking.

But if we step back, because they never believed in it, how on earth would they know whether it’s possible or not?

They didn’t believe in it, to begin with, and never questioned it.

Of course, they wouldn’t look into how you can drop out of high school and become successful in the world of tech.
