| 0:00.0 | In this video, you're going to learn how to let go of self-limiting beliefs, |
| 0:03.6 | how to stop getting stuck hating yourself and find a healthy sense of self. |
| 0:08.3 | Have you ever seen a cattle guard? Where I live out in the west, there are open-range cattle. |
| 0:13.0 | That means that they are fenced into huge areas and the road crosses through their range. |
| 0:18.0 | So when a road crosses a fence line, there are a couple of options to let the |
| 0:21.6 | cars through, but keep the cattle in. The first option is a gate. This keeps the fence continuous, |
| 0:27.4 | but the driver has to stop their car, get out, open the gate, get back into their car, drive |
| 0:32.0 | through the gate, stop their car, get out of the car, close the gate, and get back to driving. |
| 0:37.3 | Now, this is kind of a pain for drivers, |
| 0:39.2 | but it can be a bigger pain for ranchers because some drivers get lazy. They don't close the gate |
| 0:44.1 | and the cattle get out, they get lost, they get hit by cars, etc. So option number two is a cattle |

| 0:59.0 | A car can easily drive over these at low speed, so there's no need to open or close a gate. |
| 1:04.4 | And for cattle, they can't walk across them. They'd break their legs, so they just avoid them and stay in their area. |
| 1:10.7 | But the problem with cattle guards is |
| 1:12.4 | they're expensive. So sometimes out on these desert roads and ranches, they'll simply paint a cattle |
| 1:18.9 | guard on a solid piece of asphalt. The cows who don't have incredible vision, and they've already |
| 1:24.6 | been conditioned by real cattle guards, are scared of it, so they won't walk across it. |
| 1:29.4 | They believe that they can't walk across it or they'll break their leg and die. These cows have set limits on themselves |
| 1:37.3 | by labeling these parallel lines as dangerous, even when they're just painted and they pose no physical threat. But that |
| 1:45.1 | limitation is all in their mind. The labels you give yourself, whether you call yourself |
| 1:49.8 | broken, stupid, bad, or even if you give yourself positive labels, these are just like |
