Going for Your Goals: Beliefs

The Law of Belief, a mental law, says that whatever we believe becomes our reality. Brian Tracy says we view the world through our beliefs, attitudes, prejudices, etc. We can change our beliefs about ourselves which leads to our personal growth. Do you want to increase your income? Do you BELIEVE you can?

Have doubts? Think of it like this; we've all increased our incomes since our first jobs. We've all had something that we met and went beyond the possibility of; so we can do it again, we just have to believe it's possible.

Brian Tracy said "Your self confidence precedes and predicts your levels of performance and effectiveness in everything you do". Our beliefs about ourselves are subjective and often incorrect. Our self limiting beliefs limit us, even if what we believe is not true. Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were thought to be not too smart and treated as such. Yet they persevered because they believed in their own possibilities, not those that others had set on them.

All of our beliefs are learned so any that are not beneficial to us we can unlearn. Brian Tracy says something in his book Goals: How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted that I think is extremely on point and will hopefully hit home with all of us. "No one is better than you and no one is smarter than you. People are just smarter or better in different areas at different times."

When we believe in something we start to act, walk and talk as if everything is part of our goals in life to help us be successful. The Law of Reversibility means that even though you may not be at your goals at the moment if we start to act as if we are, our actions generate feelings that go with the goals we want. We act our way into feeling the way we want to feel.

Okay, that said, let's work on changing our beliefs right now. Let's start with: I am destined to be a great success in life. What thoughts does that conjure up in your mind? Possibilities? Start thinking about the possible and start telling yourself this daily, many times a day. Write down how it makes you feel, any change in your behaviors you may be noticing due to you actually starting to believe it. Let yourself go into the world of possiblity and Imagine...
