What are Your Beliefs?

By Marilynn · Thursday, July 8th, 2010

 

Have you ever said, “That’s just the way I am” or “I’m the type of person who…..” or “That’s just the way it is.”?  You are actually saying is that this is what you believe to be true for you.

But IS it?  Have you ever questioned the Truth of what you believe and say?  It might have been true when you were 4 or 8, but is it still true NOW?

What we believe starts out as just someone else’s opinions…about us and the world around us.  A parent or authority figure we respect has repeated thoughts, ideas and opinions to us often and we’ve accepted and integrated them into our beliefs.

Then we add other things that Fit with that belief.  As children, if we were taught there is never enough money to get what we want, then we also accept as truth anything that matches or fits that thought…like, “I can’t afford it” “I have to hold on to my money for a rainy day” or “I can’t throw this old stuff out…you never know when I’ll need it.”

But if we learned at an early age “God will always provide” and “what you give out will always come back to you in some way,” then we will believe in Abundance.  Our life experiences will always mirror our true Beliefs.

When was the last time you questioned your beliefs about yourself and others?  Have you EVER questioned your beliefs and opinions?

You could ask yourself… “Why do I believe I’m not very smart?” “Is that really true?” “Is it true for me Now?” “Where did I get that belief?” “Do I still want to believe this just because my 3rd grade teacher told me that all year?” “How much better would I be if I stopped believing that?”

What are you thinking right now?  Was your thought about anger, revenge, hurt or worry?  Since our thoughts produce our experiences, do you really WANT to manifest this thought in your life?

Whatever thought energy we send out into the world – mentally or verbally – will come back to us.  So if we want a happy joyous life, we must think and speak only joyful thoughts.

Take time now to monitor your thoughts and beliefs.  Listen to the words you speak.  If they are not what you want IN your life, be willing to change them.  Control your life by choosing your words, thoughts and beliefs.

No one can think in your head but you!
