What are beliefs?
A belief is an idea or thought that you have become committed to. Ideas and thoughts can come and go, but if you think about them and agree to them, you commit yourself to them. Most of our beliefs are received from other people, teachers at school, our religion, our parents, our peers. Our beliefs are our truths. They may not be the truth, but they are what we perceive as the truth. They are what we base our lives on... what shapes our lives. They are what attract the circumstances we have in our lives. We have many areas of life: health, wealth, family and friends, hobbies, relationships, career, personal space, contribution and spirituality. We have thousands and thousands of beliefs, some that we are not even aware of, in all these areas of our lives.
You may believe that you are ugly. This belief will keep you from enjoying a social life. You will think that people will look at you and reject you or make fun of you. You could very well be a very good looking person to others, but this is your belief. This belief could have been formed when you were a child and some other child told you that you are ugly. They may not have believed this themselves, but might have just said that to hurt you, as children so often are prone to do. This would have hurt you and you would have thought about it often, and started to believe it. Other incidents may have strengthened this belief. You would have acted on this belief by limiting yourself to circumstances that you feel comfortable in.
"You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it."

Are your beliefs serving you?
Take a piece of paper and a pen and write down all your dreams. All the things you would like to do. Now look at each one, analyse it, and find out which of your beliefs are holding you back from doing those things or accomplishing those dreams. Beliefs are not set in stone... they are only our truths, and we can change them at any time. Now write down the belief that is limiting your life, and next to it, or below it, write down the belief that would make your dream possible. It would be the opposite of the belief that is holding you back.
Eg. Many people believe that they must have a job, and that they would not be able to own a successful business. That they must be content with surviving, rather than being happy and successful.
This sounds really crazy, but weren't all the most successful people rather crazy...lol! Close your eyes and imagine that you have a cape behind you. Yes, you.... Now anything that you can imagine, you can do! You just have to instill the belief. Go on, reach your full potential! YOU CAN!!
Love, light and abundance :)
