Beliefs are the architects of our lives.
They shapen our expriences, bend our realities, and colour our possibilities.
Life is stubbornly loyal to whatever we hold in our hearts — whether it’s the belief in miracles or the belief in nothing at all.
Let me repeat it by putting it this way:
Life is loyal to your beliefs, and your belief is a shoot off of your ideas.
Life is dependent on you beliefs and your beliefs is dependent on your ideas(conceptions)
Life >>>Beliefs >>>Ideas(conceptions).
Whats does this mean?
It means whatever kind of life we want can be gotten by having the right belief. And whatever belief we want to have can be forged from our ideas(conceptions).
But the question is "How do we turn ideas(conceptions) into beliefs?"
This is what this post is all about-Turning Ideas into beliefs.
If you can think of your ideas as a table top, you'll have a fair understanding of how to go about it.
Table tops have legs. Without legs those tops cannot stand. It is until we give legs to the table top before it can stand.So also is our ideas.
Whatever our ideas or opinions, when we give references to them they will become stronger.Those references could be what a higher authority figure in your life has said, or it could be experiencees you or someone else has had that can back up or strengthen that idea or opinion you have.
The more legs you give to the table top the more strength and support it will have. So also, the more references you give to an idea or opinion, the more convinced you are in them and eventually they form a belief system in you.
It's as simple as that.
Take for instance, if you as a guy or a lady say, "I believe I’m sexy,” But the question I ask you is, how did you know you’re sexy? Isn’t it true that you have some references to support the idea— some experiences in life to back it up? Those are the legs that make your
tabletop solid-that make your belief certain.
It could be that
1)some one you trust so much, maybe your lover, told you so-this is one leg to support your claim.
2)there were days you went to the market and ladies or guys couldn't control how they gazed at you-this is another leg to strength your claim that you believe you are sexy.
3)you drive a hot, glamorous and sexy looking car-this could be another reference /leg you've added.
4)you work out everyday-another leg to your table top idea.
When you bring all these legs together, they make what was originally an idea(conception) in you become a strong belief.
It's as simple as that.
So you see, we all have the power to create our own beliefs by giving them the appropriate legs.
So also, we can choose to eliminate certain beliefs we don't like in us by removing the appropriate legs and we'll see that those belief systems in us will crumble.
It's as simples that.
