Breaking down the wall

Picture this.

You were a child once - open-eyed, heart wide, standing barefoot in the middle of an endless sun-drenched field. The sky above you so vast, so impossibly blue, it felt like you could soar into it with just a leap of your imagination. The world around you hummed with possibility. Every breeze carried whispers of “Yes, you can.” Every shadow held magic. You believed in yourself without question. You didn’t need permission. You just were.

Then, quietly at first, something began to change.

A single brick appeared at your feet.

You didn’t put it there. Not at first. It was gently laid down by a voice… maybe loving, maybe fearful, maybe tired:
“Don’t speak so loudly, people won’t like that.”
Then another voice: “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
Another: “You have to earn love.”
Brick by brick. Word by word. Belief by belief. A wall began to form.

At first, it was barely noticeable. A low ring around you. Almost cozy. A soft echo of the voices that placed those first bricks, keeping you “safe,” keeping you “good.” You still saw the sky. You still danced in the field. However, you started glancing at the wall more often. You started measuring your steps by its boundaries.

Then you began placing bricks yourself.

You learned what pleased others. What avoided pain. What was acceptable. And every time you told yourself, “I can’t,” “I shouldn’t,” or “That’s not for someone like me,”—you added a new layer.

By the time you were a teenager, the wall was up to your waist. You could still climb over if you really tried. However, most days, you didn’t. It was just easier not to question it. Safer to stay inside.

As an adult, the wall grew taller, shoulder-high, then over your head. You reinforced it with experience. With failures, heartbreaks, judgments, and quiet resignations. Bricks made of shame. Of fear. Of guilt. Of beliefs that never belonged to you in the first place.

Now, the wall is a fortress.
A prison.

You’ve stopped seeing the sky. The field feels like a memory from a dream you’re not sure was ever real. The constant aching in your chest, though, tells you it was.

You still want things. You still hope. Yet the light, the wild, boundless light, it’s gone. What remains is a quiet echo of who you once were, pacing the small space you've accepted as all there is. You feel the pull of something greater… you just can’t see it anymore.

And here's the most devastating part:

The universe has never stopped sending you blessings. Love, opportunities, abundance - they’ve always been on their way to you. Each time they arrive, however, they hit the wall made of beliefs you still carry, and they fall to the ground, just out of reach.

You don’t even know what you’re missing.

You might feel stuck. Tired. Lost. Wondering why life feels hard, or why nothing ever really changes. Here’s the truth:

It’s not that life is withholding from you.
It’s that your beliefs are keeping life out.

And you? You’ve forgotten how to open the gate.

But what if - just what if - you could tear down the wall?

What if one breath… one moment of clarity… one brave decision to question a belief you’ve always carried… could remove the first brick?

What if behind that brick is a crack of light?

And what if behind that, the sky is still waiting for you?

Are you ready to remember who you were before the wall?

Because here’s the thing… no one else can resolve except you:

What happens next… is entirely up to you.

Limiting beliefs are rarely chosen consciously. They often begin in childhood, subtly absorbed from parents, teachers, peers, and society. Some are handed down generationally, wrapped in well-meaning advice or cultural conditioning. Others are born in moments of pain or rejection and calcify over time into hardened truths.

You may not even realise they are there, because they've always been a part of your inner narrative. Phrases like:

• "I'm not good enough."

• "Success is for other people."

• "If I speak my truth, I’ll be judged."

• "I have to struggle to deserve abundance."

• "People like me don’t get what they want."

These statements feel like facts. Yet, they’re not. They are just beliefs, often outdated and false, that we mistake for truth. And the more we hold onto them, the more bricks we lay.

Imagine that the universe is constantly trying to deliver everything you’ve ever desired (because it is). Financial abundance, vibrant health, fulfilling relationships, inner peace, creative expression… it’s all being sent your way. As it arrives, however, it hits the wall you’ve built. There's no door, no window, no opening. These blessings simply bounce off and fall to the ground outside, out of reach.

And from within the wall, it appears as though nothing good is coming. You begin to believe life is hard, or that the universe has forgotten you, doesn’t love you. The truth is: life is responding to your energy. If your inner world is walled off with limitations, then life cannot flow freely in.

The wall doesn’t just keep out what you fear. It also keeps out what you deeply desire.

Living with limiting beliefs is like carrying invisible weights. They slow you down. They dim your light. They cause you to shrink when you’re meant to expand.

Releasing these beliefs doesn’t just feel good, it’s essential if you want to live a full, empowered, meaningful life. You cannot receive what your heart longs for while holding onto beliefs that contradict it.

You cannot call in abundance while believing you are unworthy. You cannot find love while believing it always leads to pain. You cannot feel joy while believing happiness is fleeting.

Letting go of limiting beliefs is not about pretending they never existed. It’s about recognising they were never really you. They were stories. And stories can be rewritten.

Beliefs shape your energy. They dictate your frequency, your outlook, and your magnetism. When you hold limiting beliefs, your energy becomes constricted, defensive, and resistant. This makes it nearly impossible to align with the frequency of the life you want.

Think of your energy like a radio signal. If you’re tuned to fear, doubt, and lack, you can’t receive the broadcast of joy, expansion, and abundance, even if it’s being transmitted all around you. Releasing limiting beliefs clears static from your frequency and lets you tune into the life you’re meant to live.

Holding onto limiting beliefs often keeps you in a victim mindset: "This is just how life is." "There’s nothing I can do." "I’ve tried and failed before." Yet, when you start letting go, even just one belief at a time, something begins to shift.

You stop waiting for change, and start becoming the change. You reclaim your power. You step into the mindset of a creator.

This shift is profound. It’s the moment when you stop reacting to life and start designing it. And it all begins with awareness: What beliefs have you been carrying that no longer serve you?

Spiritually, limiting beliefs also disconnect you from your true self. You are, at your core, limitless. Your soul came here to expand, to explore, to evolve. Every limiting belief is like a veil that clouds your connection to that divine truth.

Letting go of those beliefs is a sacred act. It’s not just mental, it’s spiritual. It’s saying to the universe: "I remember who I am. I am ready to receive. I am willing to trust."

And the universe always responds.

As you release each limiting belief, it’s as though one brick is gently lifted from the wall. Light begins to trickle in. You feel the sun again. You hear the birds. You remember the vast, open field you once stood in.

With time and intention, the wall comes down, and you stand free, no longer walled in by fear, shame, or doubt. In its place, you build a foundation of truth, empowerment, and love. This isn’t a wall of defence, it’s a platform of possibility. From here, life feels expansive again.

Letting go of limiting beliefs also doesn’t mean you were ever broken. It means you’re ready to stop carrying what was never yours to begin with. It means you’re finally giving yourself permission to be free.

You are not your fears. You are not your past. You are not the beliefs that were handed to you in moments of pain.

You are the one who gets to choose what stays and what goes. You are the one who gets to say: "No more. I choose to believe something new."

Everything you long for - peace, love, purpose, joy, abundance - is on the other side of those limiting beliefs. The longer you hold onto them, the longer you delay your own freedom.

Yet the moment you begin to release them, the entire universe shifts in your favour. Doors open, synchronicities appear, inner peace replaces inner turmoil. And you realise: life was always trying to love you, it was just waiting for you to let it in.

You have the power to choose. Right now. You can choose to stay inside the walls you’ve built, peering out at the life you wish you could have. Or you can begin to take the wall down, one belief at a time.

No one else can do it for you. You, however, are not alone.

Life and the universe will meet you with grace and guidance the moment you say yes to letting go.

 If you’re feeling stuck, drained, or disconnected, look not at the world around you, rather look within. What beliefs have you been carrying that no longer belong in your story? What inner truths have been buried beneath layers of inherited fear?

The wall you’ve built may have once felt protective. Now, though, it’s only keeping you from the life you’re meant to live. It’s time to let the light back in. It’s time to tear down the wall.

Your fullest, brightest life is waiting for you.

All you have to do is believe it’s possible… and begin.

Let go. Release. And rise.
