Let's say that you failed an exam and your Dad told you that you were not smart enough; or you sometimes bumped into the furniture and they told you were clumsy; or you heard someone say that you were not as clever as your brother or as pretty as your sister. A parent, a relative, a friend might have told you that, if you did not do what they wanted from you, they would love you no more. As a consequence, you may have grown up believing that you are not good or smart enough, that you will never become a success, that you are an ugly duckling, that you must always please others in order to be accepted. Are you aware of any such (or similar) beliefs stuck in your inner 'self'? The fact is that most of your negative convictions are not clearly detectable because your mind (your 'ego') tries to shelter you from them, telling you that it's OK to stay as you are, that nothing can change, that it's not even worth trying. But it's not true.
