Dreaming of realizing their abilities, becoming useful to society and ultimately building a career, people develop attitudes and beliefs about who achieves success in a particular area, what qualities they possess, and what the path to these achievements is.
Sometimes these ideas help develop a plan of action, but if these attitudes are unshakable or wrong, they can become an obstacle in your career. Let's look at what attitudes and beliefs can interfere and how to deal with them.
Until you have fully mastered all the theoretical intricacies of the field of activity, you should not engage in this work and, moreover, you will not become successful in it.
This attitude blocks the possibility of acquiring skills and knowledge through practice, and experience shows that practice is often more important than theoretical knowledge.
It should be understood that it is impossible to become a specialist even having received the most complete theoretical knowledge. You need to give yourself the opportunity to understand some nuances already in the process of work.
If you managed to achieve success in this matter by a certain age, then you will no longer have time.
This belief is wrong, it completely devalues the experience gained, even if it is in a completely different area. Everyone has their own path. History knows many examples.
If such an attitude hinders your development, you should get acquainted with the stories of successful people and it will become clear that you should not limit yourself to any age limits.
And more convincing than all these stories will be your personal story, is it worth looking back and trying to evaluate the baggage of knowledge you have accumulated recently.
Total perfectionism. In recent years, psychologists have been trumpeting the destructiveness of such an attitude; it is a sure path to depression and despondency.
Mistakes are an important stage in the performance of any work.
They focus attention on controversial issues, point out nuances that require improvement and contribute to the development of a specialist.
You have to work all the time - this is the only way to success.
Being fixated on work affects cognitive abilities because it leads to a narrowing of horizons, reduces the ability to see situations from different angles, and often negatively affects professionalism and leads to burnout.
Only freedom from false attitudes and beliefs will allow one to connect creative potential to solving a problem, which is not subject to either laws or rules.
