Why Family Beliefs Keep Us Stuck

Your family doesn't believe you can do it.

In fact, they think you're crazy.

This is what happens when you start to think differently.

When you start to challenge everyone's beliefs.

You become aware that the society and culture you're born into don't seem to have the success you're looking for.

Yet, they are the first to advise you on how to live your life.

I love my family, but I realized that certain beliefs and behaviors were affecting our way of living:

• Problems with health

• Economic issues

• Lives not lived at the fullest potential

But it's not their fault, neither yours.

You see, being average is a state.

You're either in an average state or in a state where you're living a life of freedom.

And even though most people (including your family) are in an average state, there's a high opportunity to get to the freedom state.

It can be a hard process, but one that can turn you into the first person in your family who cares about where the generation is going.

And bring the possibility of change within a generation that hasn't worked enough to achieve the real success everyone is looking for.

The First Step Toward Change (The Observer Model)

If you complain, you lose.

The best thing to do when you find yourself in the average state (or struggling in life) is to become aware of why you're in that situation in the first place.

You shouldn't blame your family, because it's not something you had control over.

Nor the place or culture you were born into, you didn't choose that either.

The best thing to do is to become an observer:

• Why does my family have certain beliefs?

• How are these beliefs impacting our lives?

• If we are struggling, how can we change?

This will take some time, but after observing the actions that other people take by default, you will start to realize why everyone has the life they have.

After observing carefully, you will become aware of the actions you should take to change the generational course of the family.

Love Them, But Don't Take Their Advice

Everyone loves to give advice, but not every person is worth listening to.

In my family, almost everyone has an average life:

• Getting a degree

• Having a 9-5 job

• Enjoying 2 weeks of vacation a year

When my brother and I finished high school, everyone told us to go to University.

But once we got into college, it felt very empty.

Everyone around us thought the same way, and that's why we were all drinking at college parties.

We started to see people online having amazing lifestyles and living a life of freedom.

This seemed so cool but at the same time impossible to achieve.

I felt confused and lost because my entire life I've been following family advice.

My brother and I wanted true freedom, but none of our family members seemed to have it.

And that's when we decided to stop listening to their advice, and only take advice from people who already achieved what we wanted.

And until then, I truly felt a sense of hope for a life of freedom.

Breaking Generational Chains (5 Steps To Implement Positive Beliefs)

My brother and I dropped out of college and faced a tough time with our parents.

They couldn't believe that we were giving up on the amazing opportunity they were handing to us.

And even though it was a hard process, our parents ended up supporting us on this path thanks to the positive behaviors we implemented.

1) Be A Proactive Black Sheep

We sold our Play Station 4 and started reading books.

The first book we read was The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma, and that was the best decision ever.

We went from waking up at 11 am to waking up early at 5 am and making the most out of the day:

• Learning from courses

• Helping my parents

• Cleaning the house

• Preparing lunch

I have to admit that we seemed a bit crazy by having this drastic change.

This was before dropping out of college.

So by the time we decided to leave college, our parents already saw how proactive we had become.

Before you make any hard decisions against the family norm (like giving up a degree and job to pursue your life purpose) make sure you're being as proactive as possible.

2) Share Your Point Of View With Respect

If your parents ask, share your point of view with respect.

Don't blame them if they think that college is the best path, they are coming from an older generation and that's what they think is best.

You, on the other hand, know the abundance of opportunities that the Internet has and how you can create your own reality by leveraging it.

3) Be Clear On What You Want

Making a hard decision without knowing what you want makes it even harder.

You gotta have a clear picture of what you want to do (or at least a proven idea) so you avoid becoming distracted once things get tough.

My brother and I already knew we wanted to make money online, and already knew which courses and people we needed to follow.

Yes, you will face some doubts, I still face some right now.

But the BIG PICTURE of improving myself, my family, and society as a whole have always been clear to me.

I might change the business model, or start learning a set of new skills different from the ones I'm currently learning, but the vision is always clear.

If you're confused about what you should learn, how to learn, and all that stuff as a beginner, I created a free video editing roadmap to help people become aware of how the modern skill of video editing can help as a quick start on your journey.

4) Start Acting With Intention

Once you're clear on what you want to do, taking intentional action is crucial.

Every time I wake up, I know exactly what I need to do and why I'm doing it:

• I'm building my brand to help others

• I'm learning modern skills

• I'm helping my parents

Every action has a positive intention behind it.

All my actions are directed to something bigger than myself, to my goal.

Even when things get tough and confusing, I know that acting with the intention to improve will move things to the life I want to live.

If you're doing something just for money, to impress others, or because you're bored, you are going to lack meaning in your life.

But if every action you take (even when it's resting or taking a walk) has the positive intention of improving your reality, then you're going to move with meaning.

And meaning is what ultimately frees the soul.

5) Let Your Results Do The Talk

I used to talk so much.

I told most of my friends and family about this agency I was going to build and how I'd make $10k months with it - just to realize that the path was harder than I thought.

There's no need to talk, just take intentional action:

• Test

• Reiterate

• Improve

• Get feedback

Less talk, more do.

That's it for this one my friends, I love you guys.

Pablo.
