“It’s repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”
– Muhammad Ali, 3-Time Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Our inner beliefs shape the way we see the world and determine the direction of our lives.
We tend to achieve what we believe we’re capable of achieving. We tend to live the life we believe we’re worthy of living.
In this way, our beliefs can work for us or against us.
It’s important to reevaluate your inner beliefs from time to time.
What do you really believe about life and your capabilities, and why do you believe those things?
Many of us have been shaped by negative beliefs we’ve been taught.
If, at a young age, you were told you’re not worthy of success and you believed it, you’re likely creating negative circumstances for yourself without even realizing it. If you believe the world is out to get you or that bad luck follows you, ask yourself if those beliefs are helping or hurting you.
It’s time to root out the negative beliefs that are holding you back from a better life.
You can change your inner beliefs by taking control of your self-talk and repeating affirmations that reinforce the beliefs you want to have.
Repeated affirmations can literally rewire the neural pathways in your brain and create new beliefs.
This process takes patience, discipline, and conscious effort, but the results are worth it.
