Dream makers vs. Dreams breakers: Belief

Hey guys (and ladies)!
Hope you missed me last week. Sorry I was traveling and couldn’t find the time to write. So this week I will make it up to you.

Today folks I am going to tackle a big one so bear with me.
So many times, I have encounter people who are simply amazing in what they do. People who have all the skills, all the tools and all the knowledge needed to make BIG things happen but who still aren’t doing much with their lives.

When I say they are not doing much with their lives does not mean they are struggling (yes some of them are) but most of them are doing well. At this point, you probably saying what’s wrong with doing well? My answer to you is: there is nothing wrong with doing well if that’s all you can do but there is definitely something wrong with doing well if you can do great.

I will look at these persons (most of the times I don’t even need to talk to them) and it is obvious the only barrier to their success is a lack of belief in their self; they do not believe that they are able to achieve great things.

Here is the tricky thing with belief; “Belief is nothing more than what we accept as true or real. Now here’s something important to understand: what we accept as true may not be true and it may not be real. But if we accept it as true or real it influences our decisions just as if it were.”

Go back and read that sentence as many times as needed until it sinks in. I AM SERIOUS. You owe it to yourself to understand it……. I hope you went back.

So basically what it saying, it does not matter what you believe in. The simple fact you believe in it and accept it as true, your mind accepts it too and it influences your life. Ok! I can see your face going like Jephtée completely lost it.

Have you ever watch a scary movie? Why in the world should you be scare knowing that its just TV? The reason is simple: you start by believing what you see can hurt you and since that’s what you believe, your mind start sending you all the signals that you will be hurt. In other words, because you believe it… your mind accept it as true. So basically its got nothing to do with the movie itself… you are the one scaring the s. out of yourself. (See you will think by writing that I will tell myself, that’s it as of today I am going to enjoy those scary movies…. Heuuuuh. Lets leave it at that.)

Because I promised to keep it short each week, I will stop here and come back on this subject next week.

I’ll leave you with a quote by Dr. Robert Anthony “You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.”
