Are Your Beliefs Creating or Destroying Your Life?

Beliefs have the Power to create and the Power to Destroy.

I’ve been reading the book “Awaken the Giant Within” by Anthony Robbins

In this book one of the things Tony discusses is how our beliefs shape our reality and how because of our beliefs; we think, feel, and act a certain way when we are faced with life challenges.

Once accepted, our beliefs become unquestioned commands to our unconscious minds, and they have the power to expand or destroy the possibilities of our present and future.

What is a Belief?

Most people treat a belief as if it is a factual thing, when in reality all a belief is, is a feeling of certainty about something.  When you say that you believe you are successful online marketer, you are really saying ‘I feel certain I am a good online marketer‘  That sense of certainty allows you to then tap into resources that produce significant results.

On the other hand, if you have it in your head that you believe you will never make money as on online marketer, that same sense of certainty will close you off to the resources you need to be successful, and therefore you become your own self fulfilling prophecy and fail every time you try to do something you don’t even believe is possible.

The thing is, we all have the capacity to tap into the same resources but not everyone does. Our lack of belief, or certainty, causes us not to be able to use the capacity that resides within us.

Did you know, you can change your beliefs?

A belief is basically just an idea that you solidified in your mind because of certain referenced experiences you have had in your life.

Tony Robbins give this example…

Stop and say to yourself,  ‘I’m Sexy” Now, whether it is a belief or not will come down to the amount of certainty you feel about this phrase as you say it. If you think, “I’m not really sexy” what you are really saying is “I don’t feel certain, I’m sexy” Right?

So how would you turn an idea into a belief? Think of an idea as a table top with no legs. Without any legs, it can’t stand on it’s own. It is the same with ideas. If you have an idea but no supporting references, your idea is not solid enough to become a belief.

But on the other hand if you have an idea and you can find references to support it, it can easily become a belief.

Let’s take being sexy as an example. If you believe you are sexy, you will have supporting references to back you up. Maybe you workout everyday, have people whistle at you when you were walking down the street, or your partner tells you so.

If you believe you are not sexy, you will also have supporting references to back you up.  Maybe someone made fun of you in school, or you compare yourself to people on tv who are depicted as ugly, or your partners never says anything nice about your looks.

Either way, you have organized these thoughts and put them under the idea that you either are or are not sexy, and have created that belief in yourself that makes it so.

So how do you change your Beliefs?

Changing your beliefs is not as difficult as you might think. It really boils down to gathering enough references to support an idea to help you believe it is true.

When you start to see how beliefs are formed, you will realize that you can change your beliefs if you just find enough reference experiences to support your belief.

Check out these two videos from Tony Robins.

After you have watched them, make a list of some of the beliefs you WANT to have and use his lessons to find references to support these new beliefs.
