Personal Values And Beliefs

• Beliefs positively or negatively impact your life.
• Many of the beliefs you think are true, may be false.
• Get rid of false certainties to awaken your true potential.

When a hypnotist hypnotises someone, they implant a belief into the person’s mind which subsequently influences how they think and how they behave.

For example, a person could be hypnotised to think that a potato is an apple, or that a feather is so heavy they cannot lift it. These implanted beliefs edit their reality, and by doing so “edit” what they can and cannot do.

In exactly the same way, people can become hypnotised throughout their life by the ideas they accept from others, and the ideas they regard to be true.

Some of these beliefs are positive, and expand a person’s life by opening up new possibilities to them.

Whilst other beliefs are negative, and limit a person’s life by restricting what they believe they are capable of, and therefore what they do.

What this all means is that the person you are today, and the things you have and will achieve in your life, come as a direct result of the beliefs that have been implanted in your mind.

The question is, what sort of beliefs do you have implanted in your mind? And how are these beliefs affecting your life?

The Power Of Belief

Some people think that despite having limiting negative beliefs about themselves, they can still achieve what they want to achieve through sheer determination and will power. This is not true.

Once a limiting belief has been accepted, it becomes ingrained into the subconscious mind, forming part of that person’s belief system.

Later, should that person begin to experience success or happiness that is inconsistent with their subconscious beliefs, they will often “sabotage” themselves, bringing them back down to the level where they subconsciously believe they should be at. This is known as self sabotage.

On the other hand, a positive empowering belief can enable a person to do, or achieve things, others would regard as impossible.

For example, there are many instances of people who displayed “superhuman” strength, when they were confronted with a life or death situation. Such as one woman, who lifted a car off her trapped child.

Examples such as these show us that humans have incredible amounts of untapped power within them. And that these powers can either be locked away, or set free, by the beliefs you hold in your mind.

Beliefs And Behaviour

When a person believes something to be true (regardless of whether or not it is true) they will act as if it is true, and look for evidence to support that belief.

So should a person accept something that is false (not true), all their thoughts and behaviours will come as a direct result of that false belief.

However what is even more dangerous, is that a person who believes something to be true becomes convinced that what they believe is correct.

They become certain in their beliefs, and unless some extraordinary event proves to them otherwise, no one will be able to persuade them that what they believe is not an accurate representation of reality.

This false assumption of certainty, therefore presents one of the biggest barriers to overcoming negative limiting beliefs.

As how can you convince someone that what they believe about themselves is wrong, when are certain it is right?

The Awareness Of Ignorance

Since many of our thoughts and actions come as a result of the false beliefs we have incorporated into our subconscious mind, it is extremely important that you never assume what you now hold to be true as really being the truth.

Rather, you should hold in your mind the possibility that you have been hypnotised by false beliefs, and that these beliefs may be preventing you from realizing your full potential in life.

Do you Really Know What You Think You Know?

If you think about it, the person you are today is a direct result of what you have been exposed to throughout your life, the things you have learnt along the way, and the things you have accepted as being true.

Many people however fail to achieve their true potential in life, because they wrongly assume that they know the truth.

When in reality most of what they “know” comes as a result of what parents, teachers, friends, religion and the media have told them.

In other words, what most people have accepted as being true, they have never actually proved to themselves it really is true.

As a result, millions of people all over the world follow the advice of “gurus” and “experts”, blindly accepting whatever they are told without further analysis.

The consequences of this blind unquestioning obedience, is invariably the blind acceptance of limiting false beliefs.

For if you accept something to be true without first proving it to yourself, how can you be sure that any of the beliefs you currently have are not all false? Or all true?

And how can you be sure that any of your thoughts, and any of your actions, are not right now being driven by these beliefs which may or may not be true?

The answer is, you can’t. And this is why in order to change your beliefs, you must first get rid of the mindset that says “I definitely know this to be true”. And only accept something as being true, once you have ample evidence and/or experience to support it.

The same goes for the articles and information on this site. Just because I have written something, doesn’t necessarily mean it is true or correct. It is just my thoughts, based on my own experience and research.

When something works for you, only then should you accept it as true or false. If you can do this, you will control the beliefs that form in your mind thereby enabling you to see the true reality about yourself, rather than the false illusion provided by your false beliefs.
