Surely by now you know that "thoughts are things", but do you know what that means? It means that thoughts are, in a very real way, the 'seeds' we plant and nurture in our mind that will control our destiny.
In your last lesson you learned that your mind has the power to set the sails and chart your course of action by simply taking the beliefs you hold and putting them on auto-pilot. You now also know the importance of uncovering the beliefs that no longer serve you and uproot them, to be replaced by thoughts (which become beliefs, if you nurture them) that will help you to move toward that which you desire. How quickly you can create positive change in your life depends upon how fertile the soil is and therefore, how easily you can pluck out the destructive beliefs (weeds) and grow the seeds of change.
In this lesson we will focus on uncovering the limiting, or destructive beliefs that no longer serve you. How do you know which ones they are if they're probably on auto-pilot?
Here's the litmus test: before you make a decision about something, notice the thoughts that surface that are trying to guide you to your answer. If they come from a place of love they're working for you; if they come from a place of fear they're working against you.
Let's say you're just getting started building your own business and you know you're passionate about it and you want to do it, but you find yourself keeping it a secret and procrastinating getting the word out, or any number of things that you could be doing to move forward. The problem here is not actually procrastination, but fear. What are you afraid of? Rejection? Judgement? This is where the false beliefs begin to show themselves and where you must be diligent in snatching them where they live and examining them to see if they actually are weeds and then TOSS THEM OUT!
So you're afraid of putting yourself out there and failing, therefore you don't do anything so you don't have to be seen as a failure. That fear is actually keeping you in a state of failure (because it's not letting you reach success, now is it?)... so that is your limiting, or destructive belief which must be uprooted and replaced.
In Lesson 3 you will discover how to plant the seeds that will replace the weeds. Take some time this week to become aware of the beliefs that may be holding you back. You don't have to do anything else right now... just be aware of them. Awareness is the first step to change.
