Belief - The System That Makes of Breaks
Belief is the ultimate system that drives man to succeed. If it is wisely used, man can overcome just any challenges and difficulties, but if it wrongly used, man perishes. What is a belief?Basically, belief is something that we have accepted regardless of the truth. Belief serves as the guiding system in determining what we do and don’t. For example, if by believing that man with scar on the face must be bad, it will definitely make us to be more cautious and alert when one is around. On the other hand, if we believe that the scar has nothing to do with one’s personality, we will treat him as a usual person that walks past us everyday. Is that belief is all about? Not really, it’s more than that. Belief serves in every aspect of our lives which most of the time, we don’t even aware of it. Whatever we have accepted as true will penetrate into the subconscious where every action that the subconscious take is based on that particular belief. For example, with the belief that money must be hard earned, we will have to work hard in order to make money and this is regardless the position and type of jobs that we are in. That belief creates the “terms and conditions” before money is laid into our hands. So if you want to find out your belief about making money, just look at your working conditions before getting your paycheck or income. By hard, it doesn’t just mean physically but as well as mentally, which in my opinion is harder to bear compare to the earlier.Beliefs are formed by past experiences whether we involved in it directly or not. And through these experiences, interpretations are made - if we see thing bad, than we will interpret it as unpleasant or if pleasant we will interpret it to be good. However, the interpretations might not be correct, such as the example earlier before. Man with scar doesn’t necessary to be bad. He might have save someone from danger in the past and this has caused him the scar. We could never know this. Interpretation is always made at the surface level without deep inspection, it’s just a generalization- we might learnt it from watching TV, reading, imagining, etc. Remember, generalization is always based on the majority views. Well, as I’ve mentioned before, we hold a specific belief on every aspect in our live; be it health, wealth or success. If by any means that we are not satisfied with any aspects of our lives, we would have to look within. We have to identify those beliefs that limit us and those that make us see thing in the hard way. Having a limiting belief brings us nowhere, it only traps us in the condition that no one would ever have wished for. By changing the beliefs, the circumstances will change accordingly; it reflects what we hold within us. Here, I would like to touch a bit on success. Basically, success is not a defined state. Nobody could judge whether one person is a success or not. It does not have a measurement unless we give to it. Unaware of this, most people go around and tell their friends and spouses that success is hard. It is very hard to succeed in anything especially in term of wealth and building business. By always holding this definition in the mind, a new belief will form; that success is hard and not for just anyone, success is meant for successful person only. This one belief alone will stop people from accomplish anything and it might affect every other aspect of life. People will not succeed just because they are not successful person? Isn’t that absurd?Is success you? Well, most people would definitely say “NO.” How about you? Do you take the fact that you are successful for still be able to live your life today? OR isn’t that’s success?You have successfully live through yesterday and I believe today will not be missed and many more successful days to come. By defining that success is achieved everyday, you gain the momentum and more and more and bigger success will be waiting for you. Success is built bit by bit on the platform of our subconscious and it can be done by just acknowledging the small little success. Lastly, we will have to believe in whatever we want to achieve. If you want to succeed, believe that you could. It must have the starting point to begin or else never would.“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” -Anthony Robbins
