Belief drives behavior

We unconsciously work to justify our beliefs. What you believe drives how you behave. Whatever you believe has the ability to manifest in your life. Because your belief system is the collection of things you believe to be true, those parts of you that are operating in an unconscious manner are always trying to justify these things you believe to be true. As hard as it is to admit, your own belief system can actually be working against you without you ever realizing it.

Your belief system draws to you those things, experiences and people which fit into that system. If you believe that something horrible will happen, then the chances of it occurring are greatly increased. In fact by believing it you are actually helping it to happen. Now that you know that you can consciously combat that fact, which means that you can choose to not believe any of the negative possibilities. Instead you can work — and, depending on how bleak the scenarios you’ve imagined, it does take work and commitment — to redirect that energy into imagining the best possible outcomes.

The cause of our circumstances

Each of us comes into this life in order to learn and, therefore, evolve. When we are in our greatest depths of despair we must remember that we chose the circumstances that have put us there. There is a wonderful African proverb, “Where you fall, there your God pushed you down.” It nicely sums up the fact that we are sometimes placed in hard situations to facilitate our growth. When we can step back and look at our state of affairs in that light, it often allows us to take off the guilt we are wearing and maybe even some of the pain we are feeling. It does not make our situation less real, but it does open up the possibility for us to learn. However, this does not mean that lessons have to be learned in hard or difficult ways.

Choices in life

There are no such things as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ choices. There are just choices we make in order to learn and evolve. Regardless of the choices you have made up to this moment, it only takes making a different choice to change your entire life. The tiniest choice can put your life on a whole different course. Has it happened for you?

You are the cause of all you experience

Consciously or unconciously, you ask for and cause all of the events of your life. You do not need to be a victim of your circumstances, but instead you can have great power over what you experience in your life. Once you understand how much you ask for and cause the events of your life, you will be better able to achieve your goals. How do you cause it all? Because you act out what you believe.

Choices in life

Our lives are full of choices so that we can learn and evolve

What we believe

What we believe determines how we live

The Beginning

There are two things that determine the kind of life we lead. The first is where and how we are born, i.e., the time period, family situation, physical characteristics (gender, handicaps, etc). Once we are born, the second thing that determines how our life progresses is our belief system. Simply stated, what we believe determines how we live. Until you understand and accept that fact, you will be a product of your beliefs without even realizing it. What does this mean? It means that whether you are rich or poor, healthy or ill, happy or forlorn, what you believe has caused these experiences.
