9. TURNING BAD BELIEFS INTO GOOD BELIEFS
Let me explain this phenomenon the other way. Good beliefs deliver good results regardless if they are true. All that matters is the belief. The faith.
One good belief I am conscious of is “I can make money”.
So my spreadsheet looks like this:
My Reticular Activating System has focused on my wins.
Well in fact my only win. Even though 99% of the time I have lost. When I was younger I tried hundreds of business ideas.
Amongst those business ideas was property investing.I now have an eleven million dollar asset portfolio built by my one and only successful business.
So can I make money? Well yes overall. But my strike rate is pretty low. Quite pathetically low actually. But it really doesn't matter. All that matters is what you believe. So when I would fail, which was often, I would just dust myself down and try something else.
The tenacity you get when you believe something is truly quite amazing even if it might be untrue. A lot of the self help gurus like to say bad beliefs are untrue and good beliefs are true. I would strongly disagree with this.
How do we know it’s true? What is the truth anyhow? Can I make money? Well yes I have money at the moment. But I might not next week. If you can believe anything you want, why not have good beliefs which give good results?
Or another way of saying this is:
Whatever you think about yourself - you're right.
So you can, you can't, you choose.
I want you to ponder this. If I were to summarise this book in one sentence, and it’s the reason why I think all buddha statues are always laughing, it is this:
Your aim in life is to replace bullshit with some other bullshit to get the results you want.
At the end of the day it's all bullshit.
So is this one belief I’ve asked you to adopt a lie? Possibly. But does it matter? No. All that matters is what you believe. And you can believe anything.
We found ourselves on this place called earth. Born to parents we had no choice over and we’re doing the best we can to make sense of it.
We use words like beliefs, thoughts, feelings, actions and results from a language that was created only very recently. We probably know 0.000000001% of everything. And that’s being optimistic! However, this one belief, for the moment, works.
I sincerely wish you good luck with your life. Please forward this book to anyone you think could benefit from what I have shared with you.
Now I will also share this good belief I have. I believe I can be a top selling international recording artist. Many people do AND succeed at. So why can’t I? You can believe anything you want. So watch out for my name:
AHUJA
I’m coming.
