What do you do when you catch a flat tyre...?

You replace it, right?

But the important question is, WHY do you do that?

Well, a car has 4 wheels and in order for you to be able to drive safely and at optimal speed, ALL 4 wheels must be in top shape.

If even ONE of them is flat, it doesn't matter how perfect the other 3 are, it doesn't matter how careful you are, because the ONE that is flat is sufficient to sabotage all your efforts and put you and those around you in danger.

But why am I talking to you cars, wheels and flat tyres if we're here to talk about limiting beliefs, and in particular - getting rid of those suckers?

It's because beliefs operate in exactly the same way...

They're just like wheels in a car...

If they are serving you, you'll safely get to your destination.

Right now you've got some beliefs that are useful to you, some that are not.

Just ONE limiting belief in a particular area is ENOUGH to sabotage your efforts and lead you to failure in that area, rather than the success that you desire.

Not only that, but they might also cause you unconsciously, unintentionally sabotage somebody else's efforts, in just the same way you can cause an accident with somebody who's just driving by.

If you don't believe me, I'll give you an example of that:

Let's say that you believe that if you try something and you're not immediately successful at it, you should quit and go do something else...

But then you see your best friend beat his head against a brick wall for months with barely any results.

Because of the belief you're holding and because you care about your best friend, you'll keep telling him to quit until he finally does quit... While his breakthrough could have been just around the corner - he could have learned a different strategy, he could have found a mentor, he could have corrected his mistakes...

You didn't mean to do it, but you still destroyed his chances of success.

That's why it is IMPERATIVE that you identify all limiting beliefs that might be holding you back and replace them with ones that will be serving you...

And that's what this and the next few blog posts will be about.

Because I don't want to overload you, and because I want you to gain maximum

benefit from this experience, I've divided this little tutorial into several easy-to-absorb blog posts what will cover 14 different strategies for deleting limiting beliefs.

Perhaps you'll be able to deal with your enemies just after the first strategy, perhaps it will be the cumulative effect of going through all 14 steps that will grant you victory.

Today I want to give you some basic background information as to WHY you even have beliefs and what role they actually play, because when you understand this, it will be easier for you to go through the process, OK?

That's how your mind sorts through information. Notice how your beliefs have a direct result on the actions you take, which in turn produce your results.

I hope you enjoy my little drawing :-)

I'll explain it in just a moment...

Right now and in every second throughout the day your mind is taking in somewhere around 2,000,000 bits of information. 2 million!

And guess how many you're consciously processing?

4 to 7. That's it.

The entire almost 2 million is handled by your subconscious mind and everything disappears to you - except the 4-7 things you're focused on.

For example, notice that as you're reading this post most of your attention is focused on the text and right now, specifically on these words, while everything else fades into the background...

You're not thinking about what's under your feet, you're not thinking about your breath, your heart beating, what you had for breakfast, the comments on the right side...

And isn't it AMAZING how your mind goes there as I've mentioned those things to you??

Here's the good part about it - because you can focus on a small number of things, you actually get stuff done.

If you had to consciously process that 2,000,000 bits of info, you'd go bananas.

But here's where problems might start showing up:

As millions of pieces of info are reaching your brain, you've got to choose those 4 - 7 to actually focus on and it all happens unconsciously AND is controlled by your beliefs.

Your beliefs act as a filter for all the information coming to you through the 5 senses.

And if your beliefs are not aligned with what you want, you can want it, you can take action consciously, but at the same time your subconscious mind will be pulling you away from that goal...

And there's nothing you can do about it (almost)...

Here's an example:

Let's say you like sports cars and your dream is to have a black Lamborghini Aventador...

Now, that baby costs a pretty nice sum of money and in order to afford that car, you'd have to be rich.

But at the same time, the belief you're holding is that in order to get rich, you've got to screw people over, and you don't want to do that.

Here's what's going to happen - every time you try to make more money your mind will produce automatic unconscious responses that you can't control, that will sabotage all your efforts and keep you where you are or lower.

So, what CAN you do about it?

Align your beliefs with your goals and dreams, so that when you're trying to go somewhere, ALL of you wants to go there.

It's like the horse and the rider...

If you try to ride a horse, it will usually do what you want it to do...

UNLESS the horse is thirsty... and it starts looking...

And when the horse sees a river, there's nothing you can do to stop it - it will run towards that river because it wants to drink.

Only after the horse has finished drinking, will it listen to you again.

The rider is the conscious mind, the horse is the subconscious.

And when you give YOUR horse the water of the right beliefs, it will listen to you and take you to where you want to go.

How to do that....

That's exactly what we're going to focus on in the next couple of posts :-)
