8. IDENTIFYING YOUR BAD BELIEFS
9. TURNING BAD BELIEFS INTO GOOD BELIEFS
So let’s look at our piece of bronze, the bad belief, just recently discovered:
“I’m not good enough”
To turn this into silver we would find a thought that challenges this bad belief. I would suggest this thought:
“I’m good enough”
As a good thought.
So we would take the thought “I’m good enough” and find evidence to support this thought in an attempt to turn this good thought into a good belief.
Do you see the process?
1. Find the bad belief (BRONZE).
2. Turn the bad belief into a good thought (SILVER).
3. Turn the good thought into a good belief (GOLD).
So we would now experience the world as a fact mission, gathering evidence to support the good thought “I’m good enough”.
I would be looking for smiles, appreciation, body language, comments and cues where women find me attractive.
And yes you will find it. More precisely your Reticular Activating System will find it.
There will be a turning point. Once enough evidence has been amassed. This good thought will turn into a good belief.
Don’t let impatience sabotage this process. It will happen 100% of the time. The only time it doesn’t is when you give up because it wasn’t converting quick enough.
You will notice good thoughts coming into your mind generated from the good belief being adopted. This will result in good feelings, actions and results.
Now let’s just say you have turned a good thought into a good belief your Excel sheet might now look like this:
Your mind and body is a miracle-making machine. If you google the computing power of the human mind the result is 30,000 smart phones or one supercomputer that uses over one megawatt of power per hour. Combine that with a body that can perform complex tasks such as tying your shoe laces, which robots still can't do, you will soon appreciate how great you are.
Remember Joe, our two dimensional character? Now let's assume he has adopted this one belief. His spreadsheet will now look like this:
Now Joe is now a three dimensional guy with three beliefs. Two good and one bad. But not for long. Due to the thoughts, feelings and actions generated from the belief:
I’M IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING I BELIEVE, THINK AND FEEL
Joe has the thought that I am in control of what I believe and think, the feeling that he is powerful, takes the action of deciding to find his bad beliefs, question if they are true and switch it around and get the results of bad beliefs disappearing.
So Joe will at some point realise (if not already) that he has a bad belief “people don’t like me”. He questions this belief by asking himself is this really true? He switches the belief around to “people do like me” using the principles of self love (detailed in part IV of this book). He will then use the super powers of his brain to seek for evidence for this belief to be true which he will find (as it always does). He will, once enough evidence gathered, drop the belief that “people don’t like me” and adopt the new belief that “people do like me”.
Joe’s spreadsheet will now look like this:
Now Joe has three good beliefs and no bad beliefs. Life is great.
Now think about this. The beliefs, thoughts and feelings are all going on inside our mind. The actions and results are all going on outside our mind. The inside meets the outside. Inside creates outside. Kind of scary yeah but when you sit with it, it’s kind of empowering.
What you believe you will achieve. This is science. The game of life is within the mind not out there. Or more succinctly: THE GAME IS WITHIN.
