Our lives are totally controlled by our beliefs. Have you ever carefully looked at the face of a basketball player on television who is about to shoot a free throw? The player with the calm and confident “I believe I can do it” look almost always scores the free throw. The player with the worried, doubtful expression that reads “I’m not so sure I can do it” usually misses that free throw shot.
The person who tells you, “I can’t do that”, or if you tell yourself that, neither of you are likely to be able “to do that”. How should we define a narcotic addict? It’s a person who believes he/she needs the narcotics. The person who says I can’t help being overweight, won’t. The people who tell themselves that they need their cigarettes and that cigarettes may kill some people, “but they won’t kill me”, will keep on smoking, until “death does them part”.
You believe your marriage or other romantic relationship is hopeless? Then that’s how it will be. You believe you’re destined to be poor your whole life? You will be.
Everything I just told you is true, unless one thing happens. If you’re a person with one of the beliefs that won’t give you the results you want for your life, there is one simple thing you can do to get better results: CHANGE YOUR BELIEF ON ANY SUBJECT, AND YOUR RESULTS FOR THAT SUBJECT WILL CHANGE!
We all have beliefs about lots of subjects, issues and problems.If you like the results you’re getting on a particular subject, for goodness sake, don’t change your beliefs on that subject! But if you want different results, you need to adopt the beliefs of people who get the results you want.
This is the basis of all my Guides that follow my BEST System. BEST stands for Belief Enrichment & Substitution Training. It’s a simple process if you’re willing to use it. And it’s cheap as a little dirt to learn how to do that. You check the list of beliefs held by people who are getting the results you don’t want, on any subject, and of course, you should choose a subject where you’re not getting the results you really want, whether it’s a substance problem (excess food and weight, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs) or a relationship or career issue. You will notice a lot of your beliefs on that list of beliefs that don’t work. Then you read the list of beliefs of people who DO have, or are getting, the results they want and that you want on that subject. Guess what… you’ll notice that you don’t currently hold hardly any of those beliefs.
So what do you do? You circle the beliefs you want to add, after you have circled the beliefs you want to get rid of. You plan on how you will react differently tomorrow by using your new beliefs. At the end of each day you review how you did, and, after patting yourself on the back for when you did better, you rehearse how you will do better tomorrow if a situation occurs again in which you used the old unsuccessful beliefs and didn’t get the results you want.
Yes, it does take some work and persistence. There will be ups and downs, but if you keep at it, you will see better results. Why? Your beliefs determine what you do, and what you do determines the results you get.
The good news is that all of us choose our beliefs, and we can choose different beliefs whenever we choose to, if we’re serious about it.
If you go to the STORE page, you will see all of the Guides I offer at the ridiculously low price of $9 for one Guide or $15 for as many Guides as you want. The Guides you order online are immediately emailed to you. No waiting. Why do I charge any money? Because, while I don’t need to make money on this website, I’d like to break even and cover my costs. Also, most of us believe if something is free, there is a catch that what we get will try to sell us something, or if it’s truly free, it’s not worth anything. So, sorry, I have to charge something. You see the power of our beliefs?
