BELIEFS!
Do you really believe that you’re going to be successful?
Can you really picture in your head that every month you will be sponsoring 2 or more people?
Can you actually feel the money just coming in 2K, 5K, 10K, 20K a month?
Can you hear yourself motivating others to be as successful as you?
Many of us say that we can do all of these things, but the question is do we really believe it? 9 times out of 10 there is something within our belief system that’s holding us back.
So what is it?
Well I did a little research and found that what you believe in is connected to some type of attitude or emotion towards it. This goes into an opinion which is a verbal manifestation of that attitude, which in turn causes us to act a certain way based on the belief and opinion.
So lets say you built a relationship with someone, and you find out that they are looking for other ways to make money.
You tell them that you may have something for them and you hand them some information about your opportunity.
They turned to you and tell you that they don’t like network marketing because they don’t like to sell. (How many of you heard this excuse?)
Now this is a false belief because you didn’t try to sell them anything. What’s really the case is that they attached their belief to something that happened to them in the past (Most likely a “Network Marketer” that was trying to pitch them without getting to know them) and they held on to that belief.
This is just one of many cases of how we give our beliefs meaning. So how do we change that?
First things first. Beliefs are just individual events in the world that really don’t have any meaning.
So if they don’t have any meaning to begin with why would you give it meaning in the first place?
Did you catch that?
We all heard of rags to riches stories such as Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Edison, Chris Garner, and Joanne Kathleen Rowling author of Harry Potter. So if they can be successful why can’t you?
So if you want to be successful, then take the necessary steps to become successful and work on your belief system. Put your surroundings in check. Be around positive people. Make sure you read and listen to something positive everyday.
There some great books and audio CDs that give great tips on changing your beliefs.
Since I’m a reader, some great books I recommend are “The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy, “The Magic Of Believe” by Claude Bristol, and “Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude” By Claude Bristol.

That belief has to go deeper and deeper. I have thought I believed in my success but obviously the belief was not strong enough because the success was not coming. Like you say, we have to really have a strong picture and feeling about our goals for them to show up in our lives.

Thats a definite Charlie! It goes deeper than what we say, its more about what we do to act upon our beliefs. Thanks for your comment!

Sherman I see we share some real common ground here especially about feeling the money coming in or feeling the success. I strongly believe in having a vision but how do you feel about that vision. This is really the best indicator of how believable this is to us. If we feel doubts or uneasiness maybe we should adjust our vision to something we can really believe and then when we get there we go further this is really great advice.

Thats a definite Steve. We should shift our focus to our vision whenever we get that negative vibe or uneasiness that way we can get back on the right track. Thanks for your comment!!!

Hey Sherman,
Great inspirational post!
If someone doesn’t have a strong hold of belief, especially within themselves. It is going to be a long journey. Great resources you provide.
Chat with you later…

Thanks Josh! belief is something everyone should focus on. We can all come up with goals and plans, but if there belief isn’t there, then one will have a really difficult time trying to accomplish them.

Awesome post Sherman! Our beliefs either serve us or trip us up all the time. Most of us have to do work on our self limiting beliefs and when we do we change the program for success.

Love the post Sherman,
Our beliefs shape our reality. The sooner a person can grasp a hold of that concept, the sooner they can begin to create change in their lives.
It’s an on going process to develop the belief mindset necessary for success, but the more that we surround ourselves with positive messages and positive people, the more natural it becomes for us to believe on a higher level.

That’s true Fred! Once we reprogram our subconcious by giving it positive messages and driving positive “traffic” to it, the greater our beliefs will be. Thanks for your comment!!
