How Our Believe Systems can Create or Hurt our Future Selves

Tony Robbins profoundly said in his book “Awaken the Giant Within” that “it is not the events in our lives that shape us but our beliefs as to what these events mean.”

In one of his chapters of his quite literally-life-changing- book, he reminds people all over the world of the power of the human spirit to overcome virtually any level of pain, any challenge, or any problem. He emphasizes is it not the events that dictate our lives but the meanings we process these events to have for us that shape our future through thought and action.

2 Questions Tony asks us to understand is whenever something happens in our life our thoughts in our head mirror the underlying a) “will this mean pain or pleasure” and b) “what must I do to avoid pain and/or gain pleasure.”

The Challenge for today that Tony also presents is: Rethink the way you approach your own Challenges because:

1) Most of us do not consciously imply meaning to events/experiences, our programming (negative or positive experiences do that for us).

2) These past negative or positive experiences can be misinterpreted and often have a lot of subjectivity.

3) A belief can be changed because it is your interpretation

To create a longer term positive change in behavior, you have to first address and change the belief(s) that are holding you back.

Lastly, beleifs can impact the physical body as much as our emotional being. Tony annunciates on the fact that beleifs “have the capacity to make us sick or make us healthy in a moment” as they have been researched to affect our immune systems even. That one change you make in a BROAD limiting belief can in fact change every other aspect of your life. That is profound.
