BELIEFS.
Beliefs matter significantly when it comes to achieving success.
Your Beliefs significantly affect all aspects of your life.
Most People Really Do NOT Understand This As Well As They Should. (If They Even Really Understand It At All.)
And VERY FEW People Really Actually Ever Take The Time To Or Know How To Closely Assess Their Core Beliefs To Understand WHAT They Are and IF They Are Helping and Serving You – Or Hurting You – On Your Journey To Creating Personal and Financial Success.
What Are Beliefs?
A Belief is the psychological state in which an individual (the believer) holds a proposition or premise (the belief) to be true.
It is the mental acceptance of a proposition, premise, statement, or fact, as true, on the grounds of apparent or presumed authority/authenticity, which does not have to be based on actual fact.
A belief relies on the existence and importance of past experiences, mental states and intention.
A Belief is also often an agreement to a proposition or affirmation, or the acceptance of a fact, opinion, or assertion as real or true, without necessarily having:
• immediate personal knowledge that it is true; or
• in reliance upon word or testimony; or
• partial or full assurance without positive knowledge or absolute certainty; or
• based on persuasion; conviction; confidence; and
• So often all of this is concluded as true without proof.
Something believed, is accepted as true – regardless of whether it IS actually true or not.
Beliefs consist of:
• Speculation;
• Opinions;
• Interpretations – meaning the “story(ies)”;
• Convictions;
• Presuppositions;
• Emotionally intensified programming;
• Stuff taken for granted – it’s a given to you; and finally;
• Rationalizations.
So to Summarize – basically grasp this:
• A belief is something that we have accepted regardless of the truth and,
• Serves as the guiding system in determining what we do and what we don’t do in all aspects of our life.
• More than that, it serves in every aspect of our lives and most of the time, we aren’t even aware of it.
• Whatever we have accepted as true will get “wired” into our brain thus penetrating into the subconscious where every action that the subconscious takes is based on that particular belief.
• They represent the things that are driving your behavior, actions, and decisions.
• Beliefs set the tone and definition for what you will do or not do.
What Is a Belief System?
A Belief System is…
• The set of beliefs you have created being carefully crafted, imprinted, wired and organized in your mind into a set of terms, conditions and rules that ultimately drives a human beings behavior.
• Your Carefully Stored, Organized and Prioritized Set of Beliefs that you have.
• The belief system creates the terms, conditions and the rules that need to be in place before personal success or financial success is created and achieved by you.
• If a belief system is used wisely, humans can achieve anything and overcome any challenges and difficulties.
• But if your belief system is constructed and used unwisely, a human being will perish or receive much pain and suffering.
• Everything that you do (or don’t do) and every action you take (or do not take) – is related to your Belief System.
Your Beliefs and Belief System will make your life operate and function
Great for you
or
They will make your life operate and function Miserably and Painfully for you.
It will all depend on IF your beliefs and belief system are…
Truly Reality
or
Are Created and Wired Into Your Mind BUT… Are NOT Reality.
and It will all depend on if those beliefs and belief system are…
Serving You and Empowering You
or
Hurting You, Disempowering You and Causing You Pain, Suffering, Challenges, Failure and are Holding You Back.
Why Your Beliefs and Belief System Matter and How They Influence Your Success
If beliefs set the rules and guidelines both consciously and unconsciously, for what is “truth” to you, then clearly you can see why they matter in achieving and sustaining personal and financial success.
Beliefs drive your conscious – and most importantly – unconscious thoughts, actions, behaviors and outcomes.
They matter more than you can possibly know or imagine and you MUST master them if you expect to achieve and sustain personal and financial success.
Recall now that most beliefs you have did not originate with you.
You have primarily adopted what made/makes sense and truth to your experience and understanding at the time.
You continue in developing your belief system largely by agreeing or disagreeing with that which comes into your awareness and programming as being the truth.
Once you understand this, it gives you great strength to:
• review your beliefs, and
• ask without bias or attachment, “does this belief have a solid basis (is it true) and
• ask and answer the question – does it serve you well?”
• Allow you to drop any feeling of threat when your “adopted beliefs” seem to fall short, come under attack or come into question. You have accepted your beliefs based on what you knew and were programmed with at the time. As you learn more, as you grow, as you have success, pain and suffering, it is reasonable that your belief systems will undergo change and growth.
And that my friends is a GOOD THING.
If you currently face extreme difficulty in manifesting success in some area (or many areas) of your life – then it is inevitable that you have negative beliefs residing in your subconscious mind.
Negative beliefs are not mere fleeting thoughts. They run a hidden program much like a computer software, sabotaging your best intents and desires.
They are the “voices” and programming in your brain that actually overrides what you would like to believe but unconsciously don’t.
So in summary – If beliefs and your belief system drive your actions, decisions, emotions and behaviors, then clearly you can see why they matter in achieving and sustaining success.
Few people consciously and consistently align their actions, decisions, emotions and their behaviors with their beliefs and their belief system.
Most of it is happening unconsciously – on auto pilot.
Without a strong, reality-based belief system in place from the very start, you will face the very strong possible danger of:
• having consistent obstructions to achieving success and/or
• going astray with your acquired success.
