Beliefs are conditioned perceptions that are formed in our minds, based on previous experiences, whether good or bad.
These persistent and powerful perceptions rely on the way in which we have internalized our experiences. Beliefs do not reflect actual experiences but are based on our perception of them.
If you want to make minor changes in your life, work on your behavior. If you want significant, quantum breakthroughs, work on your paradigms. ” Stephen R. Covey
Our belief systems are formed when we emotionally attach ourselves to people, circumstances and experiences. One of the biggest obstacles to your success and well-being is the subconscious obsession with how you view situations, people, and circumstances.
Beliefs are nothing but nervous commands that filter your experience of reality and shape your thoughts. Limiting beliefs can act as a distorting lens through which you tend to view opportunities and challenges. This lens represents a warped sense of reality.
Beliefs direct the way in which we generalize or distort reality in different ways in our day-to-day lives. Put another way, beliefs are actually fundamental assumptions that we make about ourselves, other people and life.
Beliefs form the basis of our expectations, both from ourselves and from others.
Most of us use beliefs as anchors that help us express our understanding of the world and the way we think it should be.
Beliefs are so deeply embedded in the subconscious that we hold onto them tightly, without pausing to think if they best serve our life’s purpose. Beliefs (both good and bad) help allay anxiety and insecurity – even if they keep us in denial – and this superficial sense of peace makes us reluctant to relinquish limiting beliefs.
Many of our negative experiences and fears are based on our assumption of beliefs to be facts. Beliefs are not facts, but they are often so deeply ingrained in our minds, that confuse them for facts. One of the main reasons why people feel stuck or unable to progress is because their life has moved forward, but their beliefs are keeping them stuck in the past that is no longer relevant
