Do you believe you can change your beliefs?

Now there’s a question…

A while back I was a distributor for a well-known UK based, Magnotherapy company and had been asked to give a talk on Beliefs and the place they hold in building your business.

The concept of magnotherapy itself brings up a great deal about belief, placebo effect and such like but I was talking to self employed entrepreneurs about how their belief effects their success.

I opened the talk with this simple question…

Do you believe you can change your beliefs?

I clearly remember an older chap, sitting in the front row, stern face, arms crossed who immediately shouted out with absolute certainty

“NO!”

I looked him square in the eye and told him he was right.

He looked confused. He expected an argument. But he was indeed right. His belief that he cannot change his belief, keeps his belief intact. To experience anything other than that belief is impossible. Of course, the caveat here is ‘without conscious effort’.

Our beliefs help us make sense of our world, they create our reality. If one of your beliefs is shown to be untrue, your world is rocked, and you start to question everything else you hold true.

So let me ask you some questions…

• Do you believe you are a fearful skier?
• Do you believe you can overcome this fear and learn to enjoy your skiing?
• Do you believe doing this is difficult, will take a lot of hard work and a long time?

or

• Do you believe that anything is possible? That you have untapped potential? That you can affect your outer world simply by addressing your inner world?
• and that change is easy?

Whatever you answered to every one of those questions is true for you! Your answers highlight your deep-seated beliefs.

But now let me ask you again…

Do you believe you can change your beliefs?

If you can reach out to the new possibility or even simply imagine for a moment that this belief is true, then you are ready for change. You are ready to take your fear by the throat, look it in the eye, smile and say goodbye, secure in the knowledge that you can and will change.  

And of course, there are no pre-requisites or qualifications needed for you to take my online course except maybe to believe change is inevitable when you do.
