The power of our beliefs
Our beliefs- about ourselves and our potential, about others and about “how the world works” more than any other single factor affect our happiness, motivation and results in every area of our livs.
Our beliefs are like roadmaps that we use to navigate life with. They affect our self definition and self -expectations, the goals we set, how ard we work to achieve our goals and enjoy the process, the quality of the relationships we create in life, the degree of positive emotions we experience and virtually every artea of our lives
If any of our beliefs are vague, incomplete or flawed it’s like having a roadmap with mistakes in it. The hader and more sincerely we try to follow it the less effective we can be in increasing and sustaining happiness, motivation and effectiveness in any specific area of our lives.
Stephen Covey, author of the best selling “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” deeply understood the power of our beliefs. He put it this way. “If you want minor change, change your attitude. If you want major change, change your beliefs.”
The great thing is that our beliefs are a choice, Changing even a single core belief will significantly change anyone’s life. Imagine if you started learning, reinforcing and applying the core beliefs of very happy, motivated and effective people and put them into action in your own unique life in your own unique way increasingly day by day. What would the results be? How does this compare to what you are doing right now?
