If you have been following me for a while, you probably know that I had it rough in my early career.

I made lots of mistakes at work, I had zero confidence, and I felt useless and unhappy most of the time. I disliked myself so much, and one day, I have decided to change my life for good.

So I read lots of books, signed up several courses and seminars, in hopes of transforming myself, from a loser to a successful person.

Although I’m still on my way to achieve massive success, I’m at a much better state currently, and I’m really grateful about that. In my transition journey, the most significant thing holding me back was my toxic mentalities — by fixing my thinkings, I slowly saw improvements in every aspect of my life.

I’m a firm believer that mindset determines our success, because our habits and actions are based on our thoughts. These seven toxic mentalities had been dragging me down for decades, and I want to share them with you so you can be aware of it, and come up with a plan dealing with them later.

I want you to have an inner conversation as you read through the article. For every toxic mentality, ask if this applies to you. This step is essential, because if you don’t recognize the problem you had, then nothing will change…
