When
you believe that something is right, this means that you're convinced-by
logic-that this thing is right, as simple as that, right? No, this is not how
beliefs are formed, a belief needs evidence to be installed, and those evidences
don't have to be real or reasonable at all, you may consider an unease look
from a stranger as an evidence for a belief that says I'm boring! So you first
have the belief, then you start to look for evidences to support it, then you
may start to twist some facts and make them look like real evidences, so the
question is
Where do beliefs come from?
All
the beliefs come from one place, we as humans have a need to avoid pain and a
desire to gain pleasure, and the beliefs are just shortcuts ways for avoiding
pain and gaining pleasure, for example your belief that says 'it can't be done'
could be just a shortcut for avoiding the pain of disappointment or failure you
been through, and after that you start to look for evidences to support it, and
because if you didn't find evidences the belief will crash your mind will
create evidences from nowhere by twisting things around, makes sense?
How
to change limiting beliefs?
I'm
going to show you two methods that will help you change any limiting belief,
here we go.
As
I said, to install a belief you need evidence/s to support it, so in order to
destroy any belief or uninstall it, we must destroy the evidences, we must
challenge the evidences, what does that mean? We must question the beliefs and
create doubt, doubt in the evidences that support the belief that we want to
destroy, for example, if someone believes that he's boring, he needs to
question his belief, really? I'm boring? Who said that? What are my evidences?
Are those evidences were collected in a right way? This is how you change a
belief, you question it, over and over again, the stronger the belief, the more
effort it will take to question it, but eventually questioning any belief over
and over again will destroy it, especially If the evidences were like "a
glance from a stranger", so challenge your false and limiting beliefs by
questioning them, eventually they will breakaway.
Another
powerful method to change a belief is to link some pain to it, like I said
beliefs are just shortcuts to avoid pain or to gain pleasure, so when you link
pain to a belief by actually realizing how much it's damaging you, you'll avoid
that belief and thus destroy it, for example if you stopped going to the gym
because of a belief that says "gym is boring" or "I have a bad
genes", but in the reality you are trying to avoid the pain of stepping
into the gym, maybe because you still out of shape or for any other reason,
this belief can limit you and you need to destroy it, and you can do that by
actually linking pain to it, pain more than the one you're trying to avoid by
adopting this belief, how? By realizing how much it's costing you and how much
it will cost you on the long term, you're going to be out of shape for ever, of
course this is a simple example, but I guess you got the point.
How
powerful is that?
Beyond
what you can imagine!! This is how some people manipulate others, this is how
some people remain failures forever, this is how some people were able to do
great things and this is how some people changed the world.
The
power of the beliefs is unlimited, your beliefs about yourself, about the
world, about the people around you and about the whole universe shape who you
are and what you do, someone can manipulate you by challenging your integrity
or by making you link pain to it, it's a subconscious game, so take charge of
your subconscious mind and don't just accept any belief just because it's
there, it was a conviction in the past that no one would use the personal
computers! Keep the good beliefs and smash the limiting ones.
