Chapter 2- Invisible Fences

"As we grow up, we adopt negative beliefs and false assumptions and sabotaging fears from the world around us. These become our Invisible Fences."
This chapter is about the limits in our life which we already learned from our parents, older generations and others, plus we believe that it is true. And I don't mean that what our parents have been teaching are wrong, just that there is no such thing perfect in the world. How much we are able to exert our creativity and abilities may depend on how we set our mindset, mindset will determine what we learn and how much we have absorpted. In addition, prior experience will affect what we learn in the future. 

Invisible Fences- Imaginary Boundary which  we believe it's real.  For example, your mindset is that getting higher result in order to get a steady well-paid job, so you may less likely to take risk to make more money or you think that your current job is more than enough for your life. Therefore, you may lose a chance to learn to manage the risk. As what we are taught in our childhood, traditional families often ask their offsprings to study hard and get a safety job and this concept keep copying to subsequent generations. Maybe it is the reason why poor become poorer and rich become richer....mindset!!!

Take a change and face it and befriend with them then you will transcend the fences. What you resist will persist...how do you think???

Actually, I'm quite sleepy....and seriously i don't know what I'm writting about...so you know...take a change to sleep early^^ haha
