Believe in your own success
"What you believe yourself to be, you are."
-- Claude M. Bristol
Do you believe, deep down inside of you, that you can succeed in what you want to do?
Beliefs are strong, and they have the power to attract what is believed to us. If we doubt our ability to succeed, if we in fact believe we WON'T succeed, then sure enough, that’s what will happen.
What do you believe about yourself? You have the power to change your beliefs, and that will change your outcome. Set goals you believe you can accomplish. Your beliefs will shape your actions. As you achieve these goals, you'll begin to believe you are capable of succeeding and of doing even more.
"It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility."
-- Albert Einstein
"Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution."
-- Dr. David Schwartz
I have my big exam coming up again and I have to pass it this time. The last time I failed miserably, but I had a failure mind set going into it. My dearset friend sent this to me this morning and I need to now put it into action. The mind is a powerful thing and with the right attitude and study I know I will pass this time. But say lots of prayers anyway!

How Your Beliefs Shape Your Results
1. Beliefs are those things we trust to be true, and which are instrumental in creating our actions and our experience of life.
2. Whether you can see it or not, you are the creator of your reality, and all your responses to whatever happens around you.
3. You may be creating all of this unconsciously and automatically, but, nonetheless, what happens, and how you respond to it, comes......from you.
4. There are two keys to ending suffering and turning your journey into living a happy, peaceful, and conscious life:
• First, develop the ability, emotionally, to let whatever happens be okay - even while you may be taking action to change it. In other words a healthy detachment and not an obsessive clinging to outcome
• Second, develop the ability to choose, and then create, the moment-by-moment results and responses that best serve you.
5. How, then, are you creating the outer results and inner responses that create your experience of life? how do you make this process conscious rather unconscious and automatic, as it is with most people?
• The results and responses of your life flow from a whole variety of internal mental filters, processes, and strategies--what one could call your Internal Map of Reality. You could call it the software that creates your life.
• Your beliefs are very important part of this internal map, and how beliefs contribute to the results you get in life, and how you can take control of this process, is the subject of this article.
6. Important principles to understand
1. Beliefs as conditioned responses We don't choose these beliefs. Beliefs become core components of how we see ourselves, other people, and the world and sometimes if we already have chosen and have indeed changed some of these beliefs – we still tend to fall back to these «security blankets» - that causes - lets call them knee jurking reactions
2. The brain is a goal seeking mechanism, and a very powerful one. Your brain will either make whatever you believe is true.
Three methods:
o We attract, and are attracted to, people and situations that confirm the truth of what we believe. Doing so creates consistency between what you believe and the actual events of your life.
o We find ways to distort what we perceive so as to make a belief seem true, even if it is not. Believing that no one will ever love you, you interpret other people's behavior as evidence that they don't love you, even if that isn't what it really means. Of all the possible interpretations, you will pick those that confirm that your belief is true and filter out any interpretations that contradict your belief.
o We act in such a way that people finally comply with what we believe and act in the way we feared.
o With all three methods, you get to be right about what you believe, and create consistency between your beliefs and your life. If you would rather be right than happy, this is a great strategy, but if you would like to be happy and peaceful, it's a losing proposition.
3. Focus on what you Want
To get what you want, you must focus on what you want and have beliefs that tell the mind to create that result.
When you notice yourself focusing on what you do not want, immediately change your focus to what you do want. Your mind doesn't know when you focus on something that you do not want. It always takes whatever you focus on as an instruction to go get something and bring it to you. So if you are obsessed about not making it in business that is what your mind focussess on. For this reason, it is crucial that you immediately replace thoughts of what you do not want (for instance, beliefs that create negative outcomes) with thoughts of what you do want.
4. Is it Resourceful?
Since everything is true to the person who believes it, evaluating beliefs based on whether they are "true" or "false" is not helpful. Conscious, happy people evaluate beliefs based on whether or not they are resourceful--in other words, on whether or not they create the desired results and experience of life. Beliefs have consequences, and the best way to evaluate a belief is by what consequences it creates.
5. Are you the Witness?
The most effective way to replace beliefs that do not serve you with those that do is to adopt the witness posture--to watch the process of how a belief creates the results of your life. This watching process causes whatever is not resourceful to fall away and whatever is resourceful to remain.
The best way to develop this ability to watch with curiosity is to meditate. ( meditation as in opening yourself up to higher inspiration and receiving knowledge or insight as appose to prayer where you ask for something – both equally valid spititual activities)
When you watch yourself with awareness, the process of creating your results and experience of life no longer happens unconsciously and automatically. Instead, you begin to consciously observe how this happens..
Being the witness or meditating as the witness simply means watching whatever is happening, with intense curiosity, as if you were a scientist, without any agenda for what should or should not be happening.
At first, it takes practice to learn to witness what is going on without slipping into some kind of distraction or other way of going unconscious.
6. Choose a more resourceful belief
Once you have watched and witnessed the creative process with awareness, and, as a result, have caused an non-resourceful belief to fall away, you can then consciously choose a more resourceful belief that creates the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical results and outcomes you want.
You can choose what you want to believe, and therefore experience the results of that belief in your life. Beliefs are nothing more than instructions to your mind to make something happen in your life. .
7. Define your core beliefs:
The first step in the process of replacing automatic, unconscious, non-resourceful beliefs with conscious, resourceful beliefs is to discover what your core beliefs are. One way to begin is to make a list of ways you would complete the following sentences:
I am _______.
People are _______.
The world is _________.
You could probably make a long list for each of these categories.
8. What is actually happening in my life?
The most effective way to determine your core beliefs is to examine the results you are getting - your actual results. If you are having trouble with prosperity, you must have a corresponding belief about that, that is manifesting in what is actually happening. Of course, if you have resourceful beliefs in these areas, you will have positive results. In some cases, people have conflicting beliefs, causing them to go back and forth between results they want and results they don't want
9. The same beliefs = the same results repeatedly
As long as you continue to hold the same beliefs, you will continue to get the same results. There is no way to continue to hold the same beliefs and get different results. To get different results, you must be willing to adopt different beliefs-the beliefs of others who are getting the results you want.
Once you know what your core beliefs are, the next step is to decide what beliefs would be more empowering and resourceful, and would create the results you do want.
10. Focus on your new belief
To install a new belief, you have to start feeding it into your mind, over and over, while wiping the old belief out of your mind whenever it pops up. Think about it while meditating, while driving, while showering, as often as possible.
Flood your mind with the new belief in every way you can. Let it be okay that there is a learning curve. This process of changing core beliefs can also happen in the blink of an eye.
