The Power of Your Beliefs

Share

Your Beliefs Shape Your Life

Your beliefs are critical to your success

We all have beliefs. Some of these beliefs support our success and some don’t. Beliefs that work against us are commonly referred to as “Limiting Beliefs” and we’ll use that definition here. But in truth all beliefs are limiting in the sense that they cut off other paths and that limits future choices. The trick is discovering what beliefs are limiting your success and what ones aren’t. To do that you must know what your goals are. Once you know your destination you can better understand whether your beliefs are limiting you or supporting you.

A limiting belief for one person might be a perfectly appropriate belief for another. The difference is the context of the belief in relation to the person’s life and career goals. For instance: The belief that you’re capable (or worthy) of making 1 million a year in personal income might be limiting to the person who is striving to make 2 million (or more) a year while simultaneously being an appropriate and supportive belief for the individual who is happy receiving an income of 1 million annually.

Why Do Your Beliefs Matter?

Limiting beliefs get in the way of your successYour unconscious mind works tirelessly to make sure your life is aligned with your beliefs. Your beliefs about yourself form your identity. This includes your beliefs about how much money you can and should earn, what type of career or profession you can and should have, the quality of your relationships, what you do and don’t deserve, etc. This means your unconscious mind works day and night to make sure your life (personal reality) matches these beliefs and is true to your identity.

Discovering the beliefs you’ve formed, that are holding you back, is critical to your long term success. Once you know what these are you can work to supplant them with beliefs that support your goals.

There are many methods for changing, overriding, or removing limiting beliefs. Popular methods include:

  • Daily Affirmations & Incantations
  • Practice new habits for 21+ days
  • Guided Meditation
  • Self-Hypnosis and Guided Hypnosis
  • Creating goals and reviewing daily
  • Consciously changing self-talk to support new beliefs
  • Removing negative influences from your life
  • Sheer grit and determination
  • These all work—but only as hard as you do and they require time and determination to create, override, or remove the old beliefs.

I’ve used each of these methods with varying degrees of success over the past 11+ years. In the past 1.5 years I’ve changed my tactics to include Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coaching. The results are phenomenal.

NLP coaching allows for the use of techniques that create near-instant and lasting change and—in essence—install the new belief or behavior. There are various forms of NLP coaching. Some use classic NLP techniques while others draw on expanded tool kits—that incorporate additional techniques derived from the synthesis of NLP and other modalities.

I’ve studied and been trained in classic NLP, both in person and using self-study, throughout my life, and I’ve had multiple in-depth boot-camp style trainings in what I’ll call expanded NLP in the past 2 years. In my opinion the expanded NLP is far superior because it offers greater flexibility in technique and allows the practitioner to achieve faster results in self and clients. (I used classic NLP in my communication over the past 11+ years but never achieved the profound, even exponential, results in myself that I’ve experienced since learning and applying expanded NLP.)

The true secret is applying your craft. Many people know the expanded NLP style that I have learned, and as with most things, relatively few of those who know the science and art—because it’s both—actually apply their knowledge directly in their own lives on a regular basis. I propose that to effectively use NLP when coaching others an NLP coach must actively use NLP on themselves as a way of life. This includes both self-work and having a coach to help with the blind spots.

NLP coaching is a quick and effective way to identify and either remove or modify limiting beliefs. It’s like laser surgery, getting right to the core issue and healing it. Why waste time with slower methods? You want to take fast, decisive action and feel good about your choice. So schedule your free consultation today.

Why Change Yourself?

Share

Reflections Print

Until You Change, Everything Remains the Same.

So many people are caught in a mental trap. They believe that to improve the quality of their lives, others must change—Government, Society, Friends, Family, etc. This means they ultimately believe that circumstances outside of their control create their lives.

While it’s true; there are many things in government and society—and possibly in your friend and family relationships—that could be better, the path to happiness and fulfillment in an internal journey, a shifting of awareness. As Viktor E. Frankl reveals in his book Man’s Search for Meaning, It isn’t your present circumstances that give meaning to your life, it’s what you believe about your circumstances that creates your life’s meaning.

  • If you believe things are hopeless, then they are hopeless.
  • If you believe you have no control over your future, you give up your control.
  • However, if you believe there is hope and you nurture it, you’ll discover ways to improve your situation.
  • If you believe you have control over your future, you’ll take the action necessary to shape it as you desire.

External Changes Can be Good, But they aren’t necessary for us to discover true happiness or fulfillment.

External changes can be good. But they aren’t necessary for us to discover true happiness or fulfillment. The only thing that truly brings lasting happiness and fulfillment is changing from within, creating a core shift in how you process life.

Once you do this, once you change inside, you can discover happiness and fulfillment in even the harshest of circumstances because you wake up to this truth: Though others can act upon your physical being, they cannot touch your spirit unless you give them that power. That means they can never keep you down emotionally, they can never crush you mentally, emotionally, or spiritually unless you allow them to.

once you change inside, you can discover happiness and fulfillment in even the harshest of circumstances

You May Wonder, “How Can I Start Changing From Within?”

One of the best ways to start changing from the inside is to create the habit of daily meditation. If you’re already on the path of personal evolution, daily meditation will also help reinforce it.

Daily Meditation

Meditation has many benefits. In relation to changing from the inside; meditation quiets your mind. It also helps you keep life in perspective by revealing the temporary nature of thoughts. While you meditate, thoughts flow into and out of your awareness. If you let them pass without dwelling on them, they slide on by. If you mentally grab hold of them, then they are harder to release and must be acted upon.

One of the things that keeps people from internal change is the habit of latching onto disempowering thoughts. Since your thoughts shape your perception of reality, holding on to thoughts that are disempowering sets a negative tone in your life. It’s like feeding your mind toxins while expecting it to remain healthy. Holding on to negative thoughts also severely limits your ability to change because it stifles motivation and creates a victim mindset—where we blame our woes on things, circumstances, or other people.

Understanding that thoughts are transient in nature allows you to flow with them. Then you can effortlessly release those that fail to serve you and use those that are helpful. And that’s key to changing from within.

Always Remember:

You Are The Master of Your Destiny!

You’ll Never Cure Hate with Hate

Share

Stop Hate

Hate is such an ugly thing.

Why is there so much hate in our world? What does it accomplish? Does it make the person who hates feel better? Does it solve any problems? Does it impart social, spiritual, economic, or personal change and growth?

What do you think?

Hatred is bred from many things. It can come from intolerance, sadness, and anger. It can be learned—whole generations on our planet feel hatred toward others only because they were taught to. It can come from lack of empathy—those who fail to understand others sometimes fear them, which can lead to hate if they fail to seek understanding. It often comes from fear; fear of change, fear of harm, fear of the unknown, fear of pain…

No matter where hate’s roots form, the plant they grow is withered and twisted, a blight on life’s light. It sucks joy from life as quickly as the burning sun sucks water from the desert. And none can hate without damaging themselves more than the object of their hatred because to feel hatred for someone, one must repeatedly think of the things they hate about them. They must focus on them with burning anger and stoke those flames daily.

A Warning to those who hate

A Warning to Those Who Hate…It Consumes You, Devouring Love and Joy, Leaving an Empty Shell in the End.

Is that what you want?

Of course not!

Hating another also gives them power over you because you’ll find yourself shaping your life and actions based on decisions born of hatred… And answering hatred with hatred is no answer at all. That destroys both parties.

Imagine this, hate is like a stone. When you answer hate with hate it’s like slamming two stones against each other. What happens? They chip or shatter.

Love is like water. When you throw the stone of hate into the water of love it sinks. Sure it splashes and breaks the surface, but then it sinks and the surface heals. In the end the water of love is undamaged and it embraces the stone of hate. It surrounds the stone of hate and wears it away. Given enough time the stone is gone and the waters of love flow on.

Love and Forgiveness

Think of this: Gandhi changed the world with love. Mother Theresa changed the world with love. Martin Luther King changed the world with love. And so have many others, perhaps not on such a grand scale, but they changed it nonetheless.

Sure, they may have hated how something was, but they didn’t focus on that. They used their feelings of disquiet and angst to fuel their desire to have a positive impact on the world. They focused on changing the world through love.

The only antidote for hate is love.

What are you going to do?

You are The Master of Your Destiny!
