subject: How To Use Powers Of Belief For Self Improvement And Motivation [print this page] Do you sometimes look in the mirror and say to yourself "who are you?". I remember doing this a lot whilst I was in my adolescence but not much since. We are whatever we have developed into like it or not through our thoughts, beliefs and actions up until this moment. Not many of us really think profoundly about our beliefs, even though they are essential to our well being. Belief is the most powerful state of mind since your belief system defines and moulds who you are and determines your capability.
Your belief system doesn't form an opinion or condemn, it simply accepts as truth whatever you tell it. That is a powerful notion that Henry Ford agreed with as he declared "Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right." Beliefs possess a direct effect on how we act. Put simply we can possess positive beliefs and negative beliefs. A positive belief can fix a target such as to lose weight by diet and working out. A negative belief will drive you to negative behavior, such as if you have continually been told by your parents you'll never secure a job and you believe them, you won't get a job, you'll squander your time and subconsciously prove them correct BUT if you tell yourself they are incorrect and that you will secure a job, your actions will be motivated and geared to finding a job. Your belief system is such a powerful tool. We need to be alert to the possibilities of belief and self talk.
Okay we all suffer doubts - whether you can perform that job, whether you'll be able to deliver that presentation, whether you can pass your driving test - and these doubts are tolerable in small doses, they prompt us we need to take action to succeed, whether it be polish up our interview skills, be prepared ahead of the presentation or know the Highway Code. Some people think of these doubts as a little devil sat on our shoulder forever dismissing whatever we accomplish, permanently putting us down. The trouble begins if you cannot see beyond this inner doubt. You need to get the balance as it should be between inner doubt and inner confidence.
Your inner confidence is the voice you need to listen to and pay attention to. It is the voice of inspiration, courage and support. It can make your life transform into a vital, glowing, growing triumph. Successful people possess inner confidence. They listen to this supportive inner voice cheering them on to success even as the inner doubt (or little devil) tries to raise his voice and tells you, you can't accomplish it.
"You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them". Michael Jordan Basketball player
Think about yourself and whose voice is the loudest in your head. Is it the inner voice of confidence or the inner voice of doubt? You are in control and can alter the balance. Remember the thing we have been saying right through this article, "Your belief system doesn't form an opinion or condemn, it simply accepts as truth whatever you tell it". So tell it something great about yourself!
Change the balance in your head to be in favour of your voice of inner confidence. Banish all negative thoughts of defeat and failure. You are wherever you are now because of your journey so far in life. Life is constantly changing and developing. You can transform and develop too. Change your beliefs to manifest who you would like to develop into don't merely be the person are because of whatever you've thought of yourself so far. Get free of all negative beliefs you've brought with you for years. Unburden yourself instantly. Be positive, think positive thoughts. It's your moment to give up making excuses, assign the power to your inner voice of confidence and start enjoying life and getting whatever you wish for out of life.
