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!

Well put, Sandy!

Your robust personal belief is always the powerful energising force of your dream pursuit.

Just sharing another vital lesson I have had learned from Dr Maxwell Maltz and his Psycho-Cybernetics classic, among other great stuff!

You must know yourself and believe in yourself. 

You must know who you are and what you really want in life.

If you believe you are a champion [just think about the Spermatozoa Analogy] and think like one, all you see are the winning opportunities waiting for you.

As a matter of fact, this is the first viewpoint strategy you need to possess when talking about developing an opportunity sensitive mindself.

By the way, ffolks, do you remember, strategy #2: 

"Be curious about the world around you, and learn to see it from many different perspectives?" 

Readers may want to go and read my  earlier posts about developing an opportunity mindset.]

That's to say, seeing from within yourself is the first prerequisite.

Dr Maltz's system of ideas on self-image psychology, which readers are already familiar with, underlies this approach.

Meanwhile, I like to leave these words of wisdom from ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu of Tao Te Ching as further food for thought:

"Knowing others is intelligence;

Knowing yourself is true wisdom;

Mastering others is strength;

Mastering yourself is true power."

Stay tuned!

As I read this astute observation of Matt Furey, President of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, I am instantly reminded of what Dr Maxwell Maltz had taught me through his Psycho-Cybernetics classic:

• "When you believe you can, you can!"';
• Remember that both behaviours and feelings spring from belief.";

Hence, what Matt Furey has had asserted here is very true!

Remember, my definition of belief, as expresed earlier, which is a feeling of certainty about something?

Dr Maltz added:

• Our present state of self-confidence and poise is the result of what we have experienced, rather than what we have learned intellectually.";
• Within you right now is the power to do things... This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs."

In a nut shell, our thoughts, emotions and behaviours always get influenced and impacted, albeit unconsciously, by our belief engine, whether we like it or not.

As a constant reminder to ourselves, Psycho-Cybernetics, at its very core, is a form of self-image therapy developed by Dr Maltz to help folks rebuild their lives based on the positive belief in self, bearing in mind that belief can strike in either direction, positively or negatively.

Hence, always be mindful, for we have the power to create as well as to discreate! Many thanks to Matt and Dr Maltz!
