Mental Breakthroughs People spend their lives trying to improve mental prisons. Their mistake is they haven’t realized they’re surrounded by prison walls. No matter how much you improve the prison walls you will always be trapped. If you’re lucky an event will take place, one so profound it’ll put a crack in the wall. Your once dormant curiosity comes alive and you start chipping at the wall like Andy Dufrain in Shawshank. For the first time you realize the walls that imprisoned you. You begin to dissolve them mentally and reach new frontiers. You might call them self limiting beliefs, in any case they’re meant to be shattered. I’ve found this true in life, sports, and bitcoin.
