You can’t hide from your own beliefs. What you believe in colors every thought you have and action you take, and has a profound effect on who you become. Likes and dislikes, opinions of other people, career choices, and even the food you eat are all by-products of your beliefs. If your beliefs are working for you, then you should be hugely successful, peaceful and content. It will all come naturally. If that sounds like a pipe dream, then perhaps your beliefs need to be challenged. In fact, when is the last time you examined and earnestly challenged the core beliefs you hold dear in your life? Typically this only happens when we hit a wall and everything clatters to a halt. You push the same cherished buttons on the control panel but the machine continues to sputter and break down. It’s within these moments you are most open to examining new beliefs. – Mark Divine, The Unbeatable Mind

I read this paragraph and thought it was a great reminder of how important our attitudes and beliefs are and the importance of examining and cultivating them.

I don’t know about you, but I would much rather examine them now, instead of waiting for the “machine to break” as he describes above.

Take a moment today to examine some of your core beliefs.

Ask yourself the tough questions about what you believe.

Do you believe in yourself?

Do you believe in the good in others?

Do you believe that you can be happy no matter what happens?

Do you believe that success and happiness are out there waiting for you?

Make it a great day.
