"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

Just sharing my musing:

Examine and reevaluate your beliefs

To eliminate beliefs, we only have to ask “why?” Why do we believe we can’t?
Then ask yourself, “Is this belief based on an actual fact or on an assumption—or a false conclusion?”
Then ask yourself the questions:
  1. Is there any rational reason for such a belief?
  2. Could it be that I am mistaken in this belief?
  3. Would I come to the same conclusion about some other person in a similar situation?
  4. Why should I continue to act and feel as if this were true if there is no good reason to believe it?
And go back to the source: is this belief based on real facts or on a supposition and a false conclusion?

Interestingly, Dr Bobbe Sommer, who has had taken on much of the Maltz legacy, wrote in Psycho-Cybernetics 2000, that's easy to remember the steps of deprogamming or reprogramming the negative beliefs, using the C.R.A.F.T. strategy:
  1. CANCEL: Become aware of your negative beliefs and develop the habit of challenging them;
  2. REPLACE: Replace your old , negative beliefs with new ones. By playing back images of inadequacy and failure, you program yourself to fail; by consciously challenging such images and replacing them with pictures of competence and success, you can cancel your negative beliefs and replace them with positive ones;
  3. AFFIRM: Reinforce your new self-image repeatedly, through affirmations (or afformations, which are my personal preference), positive self-talk, avoidling listening to and verbalising negatives, and acting "as if";
  4. FOCUS: Focus your daydreams, by vividly imagining success, which allows your subconscious mind to respond as though you had actually being successful. Since the human brain works naturally in images or pictures, visualisation is crucial to your deprogamming endeavour;
  5. TRAIN: Meanwhile, do your best to act "as if". You don't break a habitual pattern but you form a new one through your exercise of will power. You do it by creating clear mental images of a desired outcome, and by acting as if it has already been achieved.
Well, your belief engine can make it so!
Godspeed!
