"If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse." - Walt Disney |
| A foundational component of success is our Belief System. It's been written, "One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests." | |
| Beliefs can be the most powerful force for creating abundance in your life, yet beliefs that limit your actions and thoughts, can be as devastating as resourceful beliefs can be empowering. Throughout history, people have been able to tap into the rich vein of human potential deep inside them to create and direct themselves to levels of achievement that many thought were impossible. Beliefs are the compass and the map that guide you toward your goals and give you the confidence to know you'll get there. Without developing the ability to tap into your beliefs, you are moving on a path of dis-empowerment. With the right guiding beliefs you have the power to take action and create your world the way you want it to be. Beliefs can support your Vision and energize you in a variety of ways to move toward it. There is an extraordinary power that beliefs have over our lives. And in many ways, that power defies logical, scientific models that most of us carry around in our brains. Your beliefs, your internal representations, control your reality. Example: A study was done in which a person was put into a hypnotic trance, touched with a piece of ice and told that the piece of ice was hot metal. What happened? A blister developed at the point of contact with the ice. What counted was NOT reality, but belief - the direct unquestioned communication to the nervous system. The brain simply did what it was told and the body reacted accordingly. So I say all this to illustrate the point that, a belief is nothing but an internal representation that governs your behavior. Whether you say you can do something, or you say you can't - you're right. If you believe in success you'll be empowered to achieve it. Both of those beliefs have great power and influence. One of the biggest misconceptions that people make is that a belief is nothing more than a static, intellectual concept, an understanding that is separate or divorced from action and results. That is about as for from the truth as you can be. What I'm talking about here and now is a portal to excellence BECAUSE there is nothing static about it. It can and will determine how much of your potential that you are able to tap. You can determine on your own how your beliefs are serving you. Once you've established that, now it's time to do something about it. Until then...put everything you have into everything you do.
