How often do recognitions go to individuals who are less deserving, who don&rsquo;t have your skills and competences?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You know that you&rsquo;re capable and you know that you&rsquo;ll excel if you&rsquo;re given a chance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, what exactly is keeping you from achieving greatness?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The answer is often a lot simpler than what people believe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The biggest obstacle to success hides inside your own brain.</strong></p><p>That obstacle is called your subconscious mind.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The subconscious mind is the <strong>gatekeeper of your memories, values, past experiences and behaviors.</strong></p><p>It creates shortcuts to take some burden off the conscious mind.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Such shortcuts, however, can result in toxic behaviors, hindrances and self-imposed limitations you don&rsquo;t really understand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>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&rsquo;s seat &ndash; past trauma, negative experiences and harmful episodes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
