One's Beliefs Determines Their Life Results

"Man's most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe."

-Euripides

"Man is what he believes."

-Anton Chekhov

"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality."

-George Bernard Shaw

"A man has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

-Anonymous

"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."

-Bertrand Russell

"They were so strong in their beliefs that there came a time when it hardly mattered what exactly those beliefs were; they all fused into a single stubbornness. "

-Louise Erdrich

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

-Lewis Carroll

"The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs."

-James Allen I am often astounded at what and why people believe what they do.Some people believe in the oddest things and as a result we find their behaviour odd. The whole personality is based on one's belief.We can do anything,achieve any position and target,if we belive that we can do.Believing is the most important thing.But, seldom people actually think about their beliefs and its' (beliefs) impact on the quality of their lives.

Its proven fact that, one's beliefs can actually determine the results one end up with in life .Things like happiness,health,wealth,peace etc.are the result of beliefs.

Believe it or not, most people,including you and me, have adopted several core beliefs that literally cripple our ability to achieve the levels of success we aspire to.

Beliefs can be consciously chosen instead of unconsciously adopted. There is no particularly good reason to believe most of what people do. What is even more astounding is that most people hold a great number of beliefs that they have not actually given any thought to and, it is likely, never actually chose to hold or take on as a primary determining factor in how their lives turns out.

We probably believe many things simply because we have been told to ; and, we have never questioned the validity of these beliefs. You may even believe that it is WRONG to question the validity of some beliefs. You may even be too frightened to question some of your core beliefs; scared to question the sacred.

The sad likelihood is that we have been and are being brainwashed to believe certain things . The worst part of this brainwashing is that we have also been convinced to believe that it is wrong to even question these beliefs.

That is not to say that all of this brainwashing is done with malevolent intent; it is very possible that some of those people who were (and are) our major influencers acted or are acting with good intent. But, as the old saying goes the highway to hell is paved with good intentions.

OK; we have some beliefs that we did not actually consciously choose to hold and we have some beliefs that do NOT actually serve us and your self-actualization. Now what?

In order to become a fully functioning human being and in order to achieve any measure of enlightenment, it is necessary to NOT ONLY critically examine all of one's beliefs , especially those most deeply held, fundamental core beliefs, it is also necessary to consciously choose to either discard or re-adopt those beliefs.

Until we develop the willingness to critically examine all our beliefs and then the courage to discard all those that do not serve us and the wisdom to adopt only those that do serve us and our aspirations, we will forever be held back, imprisoned by our very same beliefs that we think we hold but actually hold us .

Freedom and abundance await those who take control of their beliefs and stop being controlled by them.
