'I can't read' is something that I used to say in any situation where I was required to read, either out loud or to check over something.
I wholeheartedly believed that I couldn't because of my dyslexia and I had told it to myself so many times that I saw it as fact.
I had even managed to get a university degree having not ever read a book!
It's only when I actually stopped to question, can I actually read? That it became apparent that I could, I just wasn't very good at it, which of course I wouldn't be because I wasn't doing it.
I decided to read a book that excited me - Peter Schmichael's Auto-Biography and I was hooked.
I couldn't actually believe how much value I was taking from reading, and more importantly, I actually wasn't that bad at it.
Fast-forward and as you can see from my videos I have a bookshelf full of books and it's something that I could say I am obsessed with.
It's opened my mind up to so much information and allowed me to help hundreds of people from the information I've gathered and more importantly it's helped me to grow.
What things have you convinced yourself that you 'are' or 'can't' do without actually stopping and questioning it?
Our beliefs are so powerful and a lot of the time they have been self-imposed, without any proof and hold us back from achieving more than we would probably like to admit.
