Belief Becomes Reality

Today was a day for questioning beliefs. A belief is a feeling of certainty about something. Our beliefs are the biggest driving force in our life. Where do these come from? Well, our environment (TV, newspaper) personal experience and influential people in our lives. We have beliefs about our current situation, our abilities, limitations, imperfections, past mistakes, future hopes and on and on.

Our beliefs impact our self esteem and self confidence. So if our self esteem or self confidence is not good, how do we change it? We have to challenge our beliefs. We must become an optomist, we should raise our standards and do some positive self talk .

They say we will be like those we keep company with. Well, that makes sense, we are most comfortable around people like we are. But when being around people that make us have poor self esteem or poor to no self confidence...time to change it up.

Why don't more people make changes that could make themselves feel better? Complacency.  It reminds me of the story about the dog that was laying on the nail poking up on the floor. Why didn't he get up? It didn't hurt bad enough yet. But when it hurts bad enough, change is inevitable.

Here is my challenge to you...question your beliefs, change your thoughts, take action now and you will be successful at whatever you choose.
