Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life

by Jim Kwik

The key to living an exceptional life, as Jim states, is a process of unlimiting ourselves.

If our mindset is not aligned with our desires or goals, we will never achieve them.

I believe the ultimate adventure we are all on is to reveal and realize our fullest potential and inspire others to do the same.

Every person—regardless of age, background, education, gender, or personal history—can advance beyond what they believe they deserve and is possible.

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

We convince ourselves that the circumstances we are in, the beliefs we’ve accepted, and the path we are on is who we are and who we will always be.

When you do what others won’t, you can live how others can’t.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that if we never let our mind wander or be bored for a moment, we pay a price—poor memory, mental fog, and fatigue.

you align and apply the right mindset, motivation, and methods.

Where what you have between your ears is your greatest wealth-creating asset. There are those who know and those who don’t know. And that applied knowledge is not just power, it’s profit.

Remember that your mind is like a parachute—it only works when it’s open.

The deeply held beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions we create about who we are, how the world works, what we are capable of and deserve, and what is possible.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we must be accountable for who we become.

The key to making yourself limitless is unlearning false assumptions.

It’s extremely difficult to accomplish something when you don’t believe it can be done in the first place.

Test scores do not determine your future. They don’t determine what you’re capable of learning and accomplishing. Take your education into your own hands.

Too many of us don’t come close to our capacities because we are too afraid of making a mistake. Instead of looking at mistakes as proof of failure, take them as proof that you are trying.

you are not your mistakes. Making a mistake doesn’t mean anything about you as a person. It’s easy to jump to the conclusion that you’re inherently worthless, but you make mistakes; mistakes don’t make you.

Creating the life you want can be scary. But you know what’s scarier? Regret. One day we will take our final breaths and not one of other people’s opinions or your fears will matter. What will matter is how we lived.

Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. People will doubt you and criticize you no matter what you do. You will never know your true potential until you break the unfair judgements you place on yourself. Don’t allow other people’s opinions and expectations to run or ruin your life.
