Change Your Beliefs To Break Through

“The Answer”  is a multi-part video series which explains in detail the specific process anyone can follow to transform their lives.  A personal journey from feeling lost and struggling financially and emotionally, Gary Wolff explains a step by step process to follow to attain time freedom in ones life.

We are all bombarded constantly every day by and endless flow in input and information.  Not just television and mobile apps, but everything going on in the world.  Sounds, sights, smells, sensations, tastes… all day, every day we are receiving input, and it would be completely overwhelming to handle and process it all.

Our minds filter the vast majority of this information.  There are many filters, as you can see by the picture below.  This picture was created by Bill Harris of Centerpointe.  He is a fabulous teacher and extremely accomplished man.  I definitely recommend visiting his site and trying his Holosync meditation technology.

You can see from this informative image that all the information we get is filtered by a variety of components.  One of the most significant filters are the beliefs you have which you formed  as you grew up.  This filtering deletes, distorts, and generalizes the information into your personal representation of reality.  From this, your emotional states and behaviors are formed, and these feelings and actions create the results called your life.

Most People Are On Auto-Pilot

Most people produce results on auto-pilot.  That is, most people are completely unaware of the filtering that is going on, and they are also unaware that their beliefs are a major filter.  This can lead to people feeling stuck in life.  People often feel like life happens to them, and that they are victims of circumstance.

However, life is not happening to you.  You are generating the results, or lack there of in your life.  It is HUGELY important for you to accept, whether you understand how or why or not, that you are generating the results in your life.  If you are broke, you are ‘doing broke’, and you are damn good at it.  If you are lonely, you are ‘doing lonely’.  It’s not bad luck, things don’t always happen to you.  What you believe in large part is creating your emotional states and behaviors, which in turn produce your results.

You Can Gain Control Of Your Outcomes

Once you understand what you believe, and accept responsibility that you are creating the results in your life, and can correlate your beliefs with these results, you’ll be able to change your results by changing your beliefs.

You will have to start looking inside your head to see what is going on in there.  You need work at seeing the pictures you are making, and the dialog’s you are having with yourself.

Your Map Of Reality Was Formed As  A Child

When you were a child, in order to fit in safely in your home, in your school, and amongst your friends, you formed beliefs to conform and fit into your world.  These may or may not have been the most resourceful beliefs.  If you had a favorable situation, its very possible your belief system helps you product results you enjoy.  However, if you were in an abusive or traumatic situation, or had negative influences, its very likely you have many unresourceful beliefs that sabotage your ability to be successful and happy as an adult.

The Truth About Beliefs

Everyone’s beliefs are always true.  There in lies the potential problem.  If your beliefs cause you to have unhealthy emotional states and create unproductive behaviors, then it would be more resourceful for you to see your beliefs as wrong.

But the magical power of the human mind, by this filtering process, is an unstoppable force that will filter information and events so that your beliefs will always be validated to be true to you.

So its completely useless to evaluate beliefs based on whether they are ‘true’ or ‘false’.  Its a false premise, and its circular logic, because even when two people believe the exact opposite things, both people will filter information from the same event such that what happened appear as true to them.

Beliefs are like wearing glasses with big red lenses.  Of course, everything you see is going to look red, yet someone without the red glasses will see a different color.

Incredible Personal Power

You can choose to believe things not based on ‘truth’, but based on how they will serve you.  Once you are able to look inside your head as you go through the day, and see what representations you are making based on what you believe about situations, you’ll be able to turn off the auto-pilot switch and see how certain beliefs are creating unfavorable outcomes for you.  Once you see this, you will have the power to change.  It’s impossible to continue to believe things that don’t serve you.

Beliefs have consequences.  They create outcomes.  You need to understand what you believe and start to see how these beliefs effect your internal representations, which in turn create your emotional states and behaviors.  This empowers you to change your beliefs to get favorable results that you desire.

How Do You Change Your Beliefs

So how do you see whats going on in your head?  It’s not easy, but like anything new, you get better at it the more you work on it.  And so what if its difficult.  Difficult relative to what?  I mean, isn’t living your life trapped year after year A LOT more pricey than spending time developing your ability to monitor your brain activity.

So here is what to do.  Every time you feel anxious, uncertain, sad, angry, frustrated, or any other unhappy emotion, it is because you are thinking about something you do NOT want.  It is critical to notice these feelings as soon as possible so you can attempt to observe whats happening in your head.  It might be hard to see the images or recognize the dialog you are having.  You then need to try and correlate what you are experiencing to the outcomes you get.  Then immediately replace these negative thoughts and feelings with empowering, positive thoughts to change your state and change your results.

Move Towards What You Want

It’s very, very critical to move towards what you want, and NOT away from what you don’t want.  If you think and believe that you don’t want to be broke, you are focusing on being broke.  The fact that you don’t want it is irrelevant.  You are focusing your mind on broke.  Try this out.   DON’T think of a pink elephant.   You just made a picture in your head of a pink elephant.  It doesn’t matter that you don’t want to think about pink elephants, your mind has to make pictures of a pink elephant regardless.

When you think about getting money instead of not being broke, your mind will go to work on your request.  You will start thinking of ways to get money, you will start noticing things that can help you get money, and you will meet people who can assist you.  All these things would have otherwise been filtered out with thoughts of being broke or not being broke.

Change Your Beliefs

The video has more information on this subject matter and how to change your beliefs.  Taking this on and not quitting is an undertaking that will bring you great personal power.  It will enable you to transform your life by being able to create outcomes you desire intentionally and purposefully.
