The Evolution Of Belief

There is a school of thought if you believe in something fervently enough, you can make it happen. My experience with that notion is that it has the win ratio of a lottery ticket.

My experience with believing is that the following conviction is more accurate: Not believing something is possible keeps it from happening.

Sounds like a Lose-Lose proposition: Believing won’t get you what you want and not believing also lessens your odds.

It’s not my intention to set up a debate, only to look at results.

What have you been believing in that isn’t delivering results? Multiply that belief by the number of years you’ve been believing it and you have your own personal scorecard. When you subtract your belief from the equation, you will notice that the raw data reveals that your belief isn’t working. You now have the personal proof that you need a new belief.

Let’s look at the other side of belief. You notice that something is possible for lots of other people, but you don’t believe it’s possible for you. There's really nothing standing in the way of you getting that something too, other than the belief that you can’t have it. Often, this “I can’t have” belief is below the level of consciousness – a conditioned mindset that acts like a red light on our actions.

Again, it’s helpful to look at the data. On paper, there is nothing blocking you from getting what you want but, in fact, you’re not getting it. That should immediately suggest to you that you have a belief standing in the way. The biggest example of this I know of is people and money.

Others with the same education (oftentimes less), same opportunities, same background have found a way to make more money than you. You wonder about that. What is it that has them succeed in that area that you are lagging way behind in?

You'll immediately look to circumstances as the culprit but upon inspection, that doesn’t hold up. You can illustrate to these folks, in no uncertain terms, that it’s their mindset towards money that keeps them behind, but they dig in their heels and look for more circumstantial evidence.

Until they pull apart their belief, piece by piece, they will remain a slave to it. Are rich people really more evil? Is buying something top-notch really extravagant? Is buying that kind of car really showy? The list of prejudices goes on and on and contributes to your ongoing lack of money.

Evolution of beliefs is a two step process:

1. Inspect your long held belief that’s not working and adopt a new belief.

2. Find the ones that are working, but not so well, and pull them apart.

You won’t have to look far for either.

Changing beliefs is rarely instantaneous; it’s a process. it takes inspection and dissection before you get to the point of inflection.

In order for your beliefs to evolve, you have to do more than believe.

All the best,

John
