A lottery winner goes bankrupt within five years. A CEO closes a record-breaking deal, then picks a fight with his spouse that evening. An athlete finally reaches peak performance, only to injure herself days before the championship. What connects these seemingly random events? They're all manifestations of what's called the Upper Limit Problem-an invisible psychological thermostat that regulates how much success, love, and happiness we allow ourselves to experience. When we exceed our unconscious settings, we automatically sabotage ourselves to return to familiar territory. This isn't bad luck or coincidence. It's a predictable pattern that affects virtually everyone, from everyday individuals to world-famous performers. The question isn't whether you have an Upper Limit Problem. It's whether you're ready to recognize it and break through to the life you're truly capable of living.
