How To Replace Your Belief System

>How To Replace Your Belief System
>Many years ago, I heard the statement, "Replace every
>negative thought with two or three positive thoughts." That
>is good, solid advice. Negative thoughts produce negative
>results. Positive thoughts produce positive results.
>
>Let's look at this a little further as it relates to our
>belief systems. If someone consistently thinks of himself
>as a failure, then he is consistently building a failure
>belief system. The degree to which that belief system is
>reinforced will be consistently evidenced in his life.
>
>No matter how hard he tries, and no matter how much he
>dislikes being a failure, he will continue to be a failure.
>All the negative thoughts of failure have finally shaped
>his failure belief system. He cannot just turn it off,
>because it is a set belief system. But the good news is, he
>can change it if he chooses to.
>
>We were not born with our belief systems in place. We put
>them there. And if we put them there, we can change them.
>They weren't established in two seconds, so it may take
>some time to replace them. How much time? It depends on how
>deep the belief system really is, and, how much effort we
>choose to exert.
>
>All of our belief systems were built by thoughts, so,
>replacing an old belief system and building a new belief
>system will also require building thoughts.
>
>For example, people who are poor stay poor because they
>have a poverty belief system. The things that they talk
>about reflect a poverty mentality directly in line with
>their poverty belief system. They may not want to be poor.
>They would probably never refuse money. But until they
>build a new belief system, in that category of life, they
>will remain poor. This is the reason that so many lottery
>winners end up broke.
>
>Someone once said that if you took all the money in the
>world and divided it up equally among all the people, it
>would eventually end up right back where it is today. Why?
>A poverty mind will attract poverty and a wealthy mind will
>attract wealth.
>
>So, if there is a belief system in your life that you do
>not want, you can decide to change it. You do that by
>thinking one thought at a time, consistently, over and
>over. The big key is to replace any and all negative
>thoughts related to the old belief system with the new
>positive thoughts.
>
>In addition to your thoughts, take note of what comes out
>of your mouth. What you say is a good indication of your
>belief system. Have you ever noticed what people with a
>poverty belief system talk about? They talk about lack,
>time and time and time again.
>
>So take note of what's coming out of your mouth. For
>example, replace phrases like, "I can't" with, "I will."
>"It won't ever happen", with, "It is going to happen."
>"Nothing ever goes right for me", with, "Everything is
>going to start going right for me." Get the point? And
>trust me; it will seem really awkward when you first begin
>this process. Do you know why? These new positive thoughts
>are colliding head on with your current belief system,
>which in turn is yelling back, "Oh, no way. That's not how
>it is."
>
>Just stay aggressive with your new positive thoughts. Say
>them to yourself silently, and say them to yourself out
>loud. Write them down and read them often. Keep bombarding
>your mind with the new positive thoughts, stating your new
>life direction.
>
>Stay consistent and you will replace your belief system.
>
>God designed our minds to have belief systems. He also gave
>us free will, to decide and to choose those belief systems.
>
>Replace your unwanted belief system with a new one by
>replacing the thoughts in your mind and you will build a
>new positive belief system.
