This is the fourth of seven articles in our continuing series onUniversal Law. The focus of this article is the Law of Belief.
Law of Belief
The Law of Belief states that whatever you believe with feelingand conviction becomes your reality. It is not until you changeyour beliefs that you can begin to change your reality and yourperformance.
Another way to state this law is in the context of having faith.All of the religions of the world talk about one’s ability toalways keep faith, as being a key to happiness and success.Whether you choose to follow religious dogma or not, the Law ofBelief is something which can either help you achieve success orkeep you from achieving it – depending upon whether you live inaccordance with the law.
You have heard the doubters and the naysayers out there whoalways proclaim, “I’ll believe it when I see it!” In reality, itis the other way around; it is not until you believe it, thatyou will see it (no matter what “it” is)!
Self-limiting beliefs are perhaps the most detrimental of allthoughts, since they absolutely will keep you from the successthat you may want, but don’t believe you can attain. There is anold saying that states,”whether you think you can or you can’t,your right!” This saying is completely congruent with the Law ofBelief. Let me explain through the use of the followinghypothetical situation:
You are up for a promotion at work. You have worked hard andfeel you are ready, but do not believe with conviction that youwill get the promotion. Perhaps you feel there are othercandidates that are better or more qualified, or that you areindispensable in your current role (now there is a misguidedbelief!) or it may be some other negative thought pattern. Ifthese are the beliefs that you are holding in your mind, it isalmost guaranteed that you will not get the promotion. Why?Because your self-limiting beliefs will conspire to hold youback!
The Law of Belief, when understood and practiced, can helpanyone to manifest those things in life that they truly want.The trick is that you need absolute clarity on your objectives;a solid plan to get you there and then must believe that you aredestined to achieve them. As time passes, you must continuouslyreinforce this belief in your own mind.
One of the greatest challenges is to persevere and maintainfocus on your goals, even when faced with seeminglyinsurmountable setbacks or obstacles. The interesting thing inthese circumstances is that we tend to observe the world from avery narrow point of view - which is that obstacle are negative.In fact, obstacles help us to grow and can be positive!Sometimes things go awry and it isn’t until much later that wediscover that, whatever the setback was, it was there for goodreason. We learn and become stronger from the experience.
By maintaining faith, by continuing to live in accordance withthe Law of Belief, we are able to achieve our goals, althoughthe path may be somewhat different than we had originallythought! If however, we give up at the first sign of trouble, inother words, our faith or belief fail us, then we can never hopeto reach our goals.
If you can learn to persevere in the face of all obstacles, theneventually you will create the reality that you desire.
What You Can Do
There are two action exercises, which you can put in placeimmediately, to help you in this area:
1. Begin to believe today, that you are destined to besuccessful in whatever areas you desire. Get very clear andfocused on your true desires, make plans to achieve them andthen believe, with absolute conviction, that you will achievethem. The universe will conspire to help you achieve it – onceyou believe it!
2. Get into the habit of acting as though you have alreadyaccomplished your goals and are the success you want to be. Yournew behaviours will influence your beliefs, which in turn willhelp you to manifest your desires!
There is no mystery to achieving success - it is available toall of us. One need only be aware of, understand and, mostimportantly, live in accordance with, Universal Law! The firststep is in beginning to believe that you will attain the levelsof success that you truly want
