Create and Add Value

“Someone’s opinion of you doesn’t have to be your reality” ~ Les Brown | Motivational Speaker

A reader told this story about her 2 adopted nephews. Her sister is mentally challenged and gave birth to 2 boys, whom she is the legal guardian of. Guardianship was insisted upon by their mother, a family attorney, and a doctor. A judge also terminated her ability to have other children. For Estee to remain a family member under the same roof, her social life must be monitored in conjunction with her health. Her mentally challenged sister Estee has the support of her mom and older sister but feels insecure because of her inability to be a better provider financially, emotionally, or logically.

Believe and succeed. Today, Ann no longer dreams of the life she could’ve had if it weren’t for her baby sister’s children. Ann has obtained a Degree in Psychology and works with “special needs” children. She travels with her boyfriend to exotic places. Her baby sister is learning to receive help from her older sibling Ann in a loving way. Estee is living free of judgment, fear of losing her 2 son’s love, and free of self-doubt. By obtaining that Psychology degree Ann was able to respond to her younger sibling in a positively productive way. 

We are all fixer-uppers, some more than others. Everyone can’t face or fix their insecurities when living with a condemned mindset, birth defect, shame of poverty, or childhood trauma. So many people wish to be born into a different life story. Creating value within herself, Ann wrote her story’s outcome and created value for those around her. Perhaps the stories we tell ourselves are the life we’ll lead. 

What are limiting beliefs?

A limiting belief is a state of mind or belief about yourself that restricts you in some way. These beliefs are often false accusations you make about yourself that can cause several negative results. Unknowledgeable mindsets fabricate fear, using our feelings of insecurity to build a wall of uncertainty. We all feel fear or anxiety when faced with new doubts or pending challenges. Limiting beliefs are negative emotional thought that are created during the early stages of childhood which gets reinforced over the course of your life. (e.g. fear of failure without actually trying; phobias or irrational fears and doubts which cause anxiety and insecurity.)

Mankind’s insecurity, imagination, and curiosity aim satellites away from the planet in an effort to discover intelligent life elsewhere. Is it arrogant to think you’re the only one who’s wonderfully made? Or fashioned in the image of a heavenly God-Father whom you haven’t seen, but felt with a scintilla of spirit, and told he is amazing?  Or believe otherwise, there’s something out there smarter than you, highly favored, better than you? Possibly on the way to steal your planet’s natural resources, and your children’s future, and use you as a test dummy. Which is the healthier belief choice? 

What you believe about life has an enormous impact going forward. What if you discovered your mental ability is unlimited? And that science, natural abilities, and logic can’t take you where only magic and the supernatural can go. Faith, hope, and belief are indeed magical words and are only explained with another magical word such as love unbound by actual reasoning. The best part is, you get to choose. The best choice is the one most researched, organized, and planned.

What do you believe?

Many people are focused on “can’t” or “impossible”, they truly believe aliens built pyramids on the Continent of Africa, gave us technology from Area 51 military base, and will come to fight us one day for our planet’s natural resources. The same resources we take for granted every single day. (e.g. ocean’s water supply). Why do we have so little respect for our own capabilities? Others believe mankind uses 10% of their brains and are only capable of simple binary thought when we’re capable of much more.  How can you think positively with so much negative mental input from public television, peer pressure, and the internet? Astrophysicists in the room marvel in awe-inspiring wonder when faced with scientific equations about the universe because regardless of the naysayers there’s no denying their own existence or inability to live without her. 

Focus on positive outcomes. Adversity was never meant to cripple our efforts but to catapult us to the next level upward. This, encourage us to develop inner strengths where needed. Possibly with enough of life’s adversity and challenges, we can close the gaps in our limited thinking. All limiting beliefs come from childhood and our subconscious mind is filled with negative programming. They can easily be discarded with positive affirmations, a psychological evaluation with hypnosis,  emotional intelligence, and/or re-writing your personal inner story for success. It’s like giving your subconscious mind an upgrade with repetitive good habits. This will not happen overnight, but if you do this, you will begin to see small changes over time (discipline is key).
