Never Let Your Mind Dictate What Your Heart Already Decided
Remember the last time you believed you could change that man—and, well, it didn’t work out? It’s because it was never your job to build someone else’s path. Your mission is to discover yourself, to believe in you so deeply that no matter what road you take, you walk it with determination.
But determination means nothing without confidence. You can have the knowledge, the mindset, even the money—but without self-belief, none of it flows.
When we were kids, we didn’t know limits. We made the rules, we won every game, and we could stop or start whenever we wanted. Life can still be like that—if we choose to see it that way. But over time, we let people, experiences, and disappointments leave marks on us that make us doubt ourselves. It’s sad, yes—but also human.
Our brain’s job is to protect us, to keep us safe and comfortable. But when it overprotects, it limits us. That’s when determination has to take the lead.
Our hearts break. We lose jobs. We face uncertainty—immigration, finances, relationships. Everyone has something they could complain about, but many don’t realize they also have the power to change the story.
Turning Limiting Beliefs into Fuel
When I was launching my new brand, I was doing everything I could to cut costs. My mind was full of doubts: Is this the right market? Will people even buy? Why didn’t my stickers arrive? Am I choosing the right logo?
One thought kept looping: I need this and that to create the perfect photoshoot.
But then I went to Dollarama, grabbed a few simple items, and made it work—and honestly, it turned out beautiful. That’s when I realized: limiting beliefs aren’t necessarily bad. They can be an invitation to get creative and find new solutions.
I started flipping my thoughts:
“I’m too old to start.” → Actually, I have so much experience. I’m ready to start.
“I don’t have enough money.” → Where am I overspending? What can I trade for a better outcome?
“Nobody loves me.” → How can I love myself more and level up?
See? The belief isn’t the problem—the way you respond to it is.
Compassion Over Perfection
None of us get it right all the time. You’ll fail. You’ll make mistakes. But the most successful people aren’t those who never fall—they’re the ones who see every fall as feedback.
So be kind to yourself. You’re learning. You’re growing. You’re building.
And please, do yourself this one favor: never let your mind dictate what your heart has already decided.
