You are Who You Believe You are

The following ideas are the heart and soul of Re-Creating Your Self:

1. Your beliefs create your life.

2. You are who you believe you are.

3. The world is what you believe it to be.

4. In all areas of your life, your beliefs create your personal reality.

5. You can re-create your self and change your life by changing your beliefs.

Before continuing, read those five statements again.  Read them slowly.  Let the words and their meaning sink in.  Consider the implications for your life.

Your beliefs create your life and all of its conditions.  I mean for you to take this literally.

Your life is not controlled by the gods, the fates or the stars.  You are not the pawn or puppet of a manipulative Creator, or the by-product of an accidentally created world.  Your life  is not determined by heredity, nor are you the victim of past lives, an indentured slave paying off a karmic debt.  You are not at the mercy of your fellow man, or even your own subconscious desires.

You are at the mercy of your own beliefs about your self, others, and the world in general. That means you can be as happy, healthy, and prosperous as you believe you can be.  You are limited only by the limitations of your personal beliefs.

Success is not a secret, it is a system – a positive belief system.  If you’re unhappy with your self, you can change your beliefs, and in so doing, change your world.  Predestination is a myth.  Life is an experiment in the use of free will and personal creativity.  As I advise my students who believe in a Supreme Being, “Thank God for giving you life, but thank your self for the life you have.”

Whatever your beliefs, sooner or later they will materialize as personal experiences.  That doesn’t mean that you will eventually get everything you want.  Your beliefs and your desires are frequently two different things.  You create your experiences in line with your beliefs, not your desires.  If you desire a peaceful life, but you believe,”Life’s a struggle!” you will create the strife in which you believe, and not the peace you desire.
