As we grow and develop, we take on ideas that are taken on faith and can not be scientifically tested. These ideas become images that are “Real.” An example of this might be, “educated people with a PhD are richer than non-educated people.” This may or may not be true. We manifest these beliefs through interactions of parents, peers, mentors, media, publications, educational material or society institutes. Beliefs are a shared system of beliefs and values that help define the social, cultural, religious, physical and psychological world in which we live. Every culture develops a system of values that are applied to meet a culture’s need. Our understanding of the values of a culture and our acceptance or rejection of those values is often based upon our own belief system. Often we can't say where we got a certain belief from. Much of what we believe is not a result of scientific reasoning or experience but rather from some idea lying about in our minds. Some of these beliefs are generational, meaning we learned the information from our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. My parents told me “that women are not successful. ”They didn't do anything wrong, they just passed down information that was passed down to them for eighteen generations. A lot of beliefs come from ignorance or fear. We may feel anxious, apprehensive or afraid of a possible or probable situation or event. There may be a perceived risk or danger, real or not. A Caucasian may feel threatened about someone of a different ethnicity. A Catholic may have a dislike for a Buddhist because the belief systems are different. There are situations where an able bodied person is afraid of someone with a disability. There is the fear that they may become disabled or appear the way the disabled person is. Negative beliefs can be changed through positive affirmations and positive actions. Some of our beliefs are positive and healthy. We believe that we are powerful and can change the world. People take on causes that do change the world. We may believe that we can do anything we want, and we overcome many challenges. Belief is about attitude. Attitude determines how well we do something. Our attitude is a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Gandhi said “Keep your thoughts positive, Thoughts become your words; Keep your words positive, words become your behaviors; Keep your behaviors positive, Behaviors become your habits; Keep your habits positive, habits become your values; Keep your values positive, values become your destiny.” We can empower ourselves and the lives around us with positive thoughts. We all have an auto-response within us that helps to determine the choice we make. We all have choices. If we have a flat tire, we can cuss and swear about the bad situation or we can choose to make the best of the situation. We can take a breath, make phone calls or do paper work while we wait for the tire to be changed. We may find out later that there was a major car accident on the route we were going to take which resulted in a major traffic jam. The flat tire saved us from being in the traffic jam. We just get to choose if we are going to better or bitter about the event or situation. Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. We get to learn to have an attitude of Gratitude for everything that happens to us. Robert Collier says, “One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement is true or false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one’s mind. If we think “we can do this exercise”, then we can. If we think “we can't do this exercise”, then we can't. Both of these statements are right, it just depends on what thoughts we choose to think. Try wealth beyond reason. ************************* Sharon Mayo, Certified Practitioner, can help you create a higher state of energy, harmony & success in all areas of your life with the Healingology™ process, an empowering process for Positive Change! healingology |
