Beliefs

Belief is linked with Truth.

Is this True? Can I BELIEVE you?

If I decide to Believe you, then that is my Belief.

The fact that I've decided to believe you makes me very powerful.

It hasn't been thrust upon me, I haven't been brainwashed, it's a belief I have researched and chosen for myself.

If I have proved something to be true, then I deem it trustworthy, and I choose to believe it.

Belief is linked with Certainty.

I am certain of this.

I have checked this out, and I am convinced and persuaded as to its accuracy.

If I am convinced about something, then that is my belief, and nobody can take that away from me.

Belief is linked with the:  "I Know".

I have done my background study, and  I Know  deep down that this is true and reliable.

I have years of evidence that prove this is so.  I believe it.

If I believe I can do something, then it's true, I can.

If I believe the bar is too high, then I will never clear it.

Whatever I believe, in my deepest place inside, becomes my Truth, my Reality, my Life. And nobody can shake this internal belief.

Try telling the anorexic girl she looks great as she is. She won't believe you because she has a strong inner belief to the contrary.

Try telling the boy who has been continually called stupid by his teachers and family, that he can achieve anything he wants in life. He won't believe you because he has years of evidence which convince him otherwise.

Try telling the abused husband or wife that it's all right, this person can be trusted now. They will need years of proof before they believe you.

Years of failure can cripple you from taking a next step. It depends on what you choose to believe. About yourself first, about people around you, about situations and traditions.

You see, it's not what others say is true or false, it's what you BELIEVE inside, that becomes your new reality.

I believe with all my heart, that I don't get sick. This is not hope or faith, this is based on years of repeated evidence.

If I believe you will judge me and condemn me, then I will not approach you, regardless of how many people tell me of their experience with you.

However, if I believe that you love me and accept me, then I will relax with you and share my heart with you and accept your input into my life.

It may take months of repetitive niceness before someone finally believes us, but it is SO worth the wait. I'd rather have someone's willing heart, than their reluctant consent.

So, believe something because you've checked it out yourself thoroughly, and it is True and proven, not because your friends, parents, church leaders or teachers tell you.

Oh, and don't believe what you see on telly or read in the papers.....
