There's an interesting thing about us humans and our beliefs. While to us, our beliefs are the things that equate to actual factrealitymost beliefs are not attached to anything solid or factual. In fact, the only thing that lends a belief its power is how much someone believes in it. This is true whether you have a millionaire mindset or a poverty mindset.For example, the entire world once thought the Earth was flat and that if you kept going in one direction you would eventually fall off the side. We had locked ourselves into a very finite existencea mass of land much smaller than what truly existed.People held on to this "fact" for a long time until someone broke the barriers it created by sailing around the globe. This historical feat created a completely different set of possible realities for the entire world.And if you think about it, our limitations in this time were created not by what was real but how much we believed in them.What this well-known story demonstrates is that the power of your beliefs has more hold on you and your limitations than reality does, and it serves as a great analogy because it is also true in our lives.To go further, when you believe in something, its manifestation is attracted to you. Whether due to some natural law of attraction we know little about or the simple power of human awareness, the events and experiences in your life mirror what you believe, strengthening its hold over you.One area of life we see this again and again is the measure of a man or woman's success. It has been shown time and again that the level of success a person has is tied directly to their view of the world and what is possible. A person with a millionaire mindset can lose all their riches and then create it all again because their belief about what is possible is different than the average poor person.What better reason is there to create the right kind of beliefs in your mindones that promote rather than limits success?Socrates once said, "All I know is I know nothing." There is no way for one human to know reality. We can only decipher what is real based on our perceptions, and perception is the result of what we think to be real.As we age, we experience life for ourselves and often find that much of what was taught to us by those who raised usand often society as a wholeis a pretty flimsy version of truth. In reaction, we forge our own ideas about life, based on decisions we make about reality.Thus, it is up to us what is true and what is not. We decide. And so, if one strong belief is not serving our needs, all we need to do is adopt a new one that does.This is something you have done many times in the past. It takes a brave, open-minded person to wield this power consciously, but you really do have the power to analyze your paradigms and figure out which ones hurt you and which ones empower you.The end result defines who you are and what is possible for you. Why would anyone refuse that kind of power? Do you want a millionaire mindset, or the mind of someone who always feels poor, believes poor is their destiny, and is thus destined to live as such?The choice really is yours.
