To change a long-held limiting belief, use repetition and role models with similar traits

Fabrizio Rausa explains that the longer you have held a belief, and the older you are, the harder it is to uproot. The method he recommends is twofold: repetition, meaning you consciously and consistently expose yourself to the counter-belief, and deliberate study of people who share your specific limitation but succeeded anyway. He studied a shorter European playboy precisely because the man had the same height attribute. There was no point studying someone with entirely different circumstances. By watching someone with the same constraint thrive, Fabrizio built evidence that the constraint was not fatal, which made the new belief easier to internalize over time.
