"And a belief, for simplicity's sake, is something that you think is true. We all have beliefs, and some of them are based on facts. Most of them are based on our perceptions-the lens through which we look at the world-which has quite frankly nothing to do with what's happening at the moment but is a reflection of everything that has happened to us beforehand."
"So, the reason I call them hidden blockers is one, because we're often not aware of them, so they are hidden until you can bring them to the surface. But second, they often block us from being able to reach the goals that we have for ourselves unwittingly because they are serving another purpose but not necessarily the purpose that you want to have, which is to reach whatever professional goals or personal goals that you have."
Hidden blockers are internal beliefs that often remain unnoticed because they live inside a person. A belief is something a person thinks is true; many beliefs arise from perceptions shaped by past experiences rather than present facts. These perceptions filter reality and can be unrelated to current circumstances. Hidden blockers can unintentionally prevent progress by serving other functions that conflict with present goals. Common signs include low morale, stalled advancement, and resentment. Bringing hidden blockers to the surface enables conscious choice about whether to retain, revise, or discard a belief and supports more intentional pursuit of goals.
