Beliefs are very
important and they play a great role in shaping our outlook. Our responses to life situations, and events
depends to a large extent on the kind of beliefs we hold about ourselves,
others, nature, world and God.
We are greatly
influenced by what we believe, and our beliefs are based on real life
experiences which could be either positive or negative. Often it is not easy to
identify our beliefs, and it takes a lot of courage to take the inward journey
of understanding one self and exploring what is in us and what governs our
behaviour and life styles.
Some of the limited
beliefs that I struggled were:
I
am no good, I am a failure – I repeated my exams, so I am not worth
Whatever
education I have, ultimately I will be working in the kitchen
I
can’t handle money; money is the root of all evils etc……
It
took some time for me to think, pause, reflect, and challenge myself to change these
beliefs which were damaging my personality making me shy, fearful, insecure and
anxious.
I needed a new set of beliefs
to empower myself. I took charge of myself, and affirmed myself regularly and worked hard
convincing myself that I am good, capable and precious. I can handle not just money, but everything
under the sun, I have great capacity to work and I believe that life is worth
living!
Believe in yourself and Be Happy !
Great minds think alike --- I wrote about believing in yourself as well! It's so important to have realistic but helpful self-belief because that will help us put our dreams into action...
