The Foundation

Welcome to this week’s You Are Destined For Greatness.

So, big important topics we got going on here and let me tell you, okay, this is the foundation.

If you've been stuck, if you haven't quite got there yet, if you're feeling like you're going to wonder if it's ever going to happen, if you're just frustrated or disappointed at all, or let's just say you're doing spectacular and you want to do better.

Whatever the case is, what we're talking about right now is the foundation, the fundamentals of progress and evolution and behavior in this lifetime because it's a foundation of behavior. And that is, what we believe to be true about ourselves and specifically our value. Okay.

This is part 2 on intentional belief creation.

Behavior Beliefs and Value Beliefs

So, let’s talk a little bit about beliefs system. I always talk about self-beliefs, let’s get a little more specific. We’re gonna break those down into behavior beliefs and value beliefs, okay? So what I mean by that is, here's examples of behavior beliefs would be things like, or secondary beliefs would be things like, “I'm never on time.” Or, or, “I can't remember anybody's name, I just can't remember names.” Okay?

Those are based on behavior, those are things that we believe to be true about ourselves, about our behavior, okay?

Underneath those beliefs is a value belief, okay? Underneath, okay. Now, we can try to make this performance beliefs, whatever they are. We can try to solve them, we can try to prove them, but we’re going to be fighting against ourselves because underneath them is a value belief.

Value Beliefs

What is a value belief? A value belief is what I believe to be true about my own personal value. What it means is, my total life experience, all the things that we, that I’ve done, that I haven’t done, that have been done to me, all the things that I’ve experienced in my lifetime, and what I’ve made that mean about my value as a human being.

How loveable am I? How much do I deserve? How much money? How much love? How much acceptability? What, how much abundance in this world is acceptable, is okay, for a person like me to have, okay?

How Much Love Do I Deserve

How much love do I deserve? Okay, things like this, those are value judgments that we've all made about ourselves, and most of us haven't, it's just happened, it's just happened as a result of living because it's automatic and it's pre programmed.

Now, also 90 % of that is things that we can improve on to improve our lives, okay? So once we’ve uncovered those, which is what we’ve talked about in the first one. The next step is going to be to make intentional belief, is to take the time to choose what we would like to be true about ourselves. Okay.

And so, the question for that, what would you believe about you if you could believe anything that you wanted to, about your value? Okay, because you can.

How to Make it Happen

There’s, in order to make this process smooth and easy and as quick as possible, you may have to take your beliefs in increments, or ladder the steps to get into your belief.

Here's what I mean.

If you have uncovered what you believe about your value, and you've decided that you don't really like it, and you'd rather change it, and you've decided what you want to change it to, but what you want to change it to, just doesn't sound believable.

It doesn't feel right. It's like, “That's not true.”

For example, if you look in the mirror and you're like, I can't stand myself, I'm disgusting, I'm ugly, and you want to believe that you're beautiful, but you look in the mirror and it's like, you can't accept it as could be true. It’s just not true. It’s too far of a stretch for you to accept because what as happened to you in your lifetime and all the different thoughts that you’ve accepted and how long you’ve internalized this belief that you, that you’re not beautiful.

Okay, so what you want to do in this case is take a step that says I’m, I’m acceptable, or I’m average, or my looks are decent, or something to that effect that it feels right that it’s a step. Once you fully believe that, then you step to the next. Because you can believe anything you wanted to, but you need to take it a step at a time, sometimes.

The Two Requirements

There’s two requirements about your intentional belief to have it happen.

  1. You must accept it as it could be possible,
  2. And it needs to feel better

Okay, it needs to feel better. Your brain is not going to help you accomplish something that doesn’t look like that it’s going to have a good long-term result in your lifetime, so it needs to feel better and look like it's going to make an improvement in your lifetime.

All the Love That's Available in This World

So another belief that you might have is that you deserve all the love that's available in this world. Okay.

Now, you may want to believe that, but you may not believe that. So you may want to believe, because here's the thing, if you try to believe it, it's just like saying an affirmation that your brain goes, I believe I deserve all the love that's available in this world. And your brain goes, no, you don't. What about that thing you did?

And so it just backfires and you fight against yourself and it doesn't work. And then you think the system's broken, but it's not.

What's Broken Is Your Brain

What's broken is your brain is just can’t accept that, it’s too big of a stretch, so you can take it a piece at a time.

If your brain doesn’t believe that you fully deserve all the love that’s available then maybe you can say, start out with, “I deserve someone.” Or, “I deserve to be loved sometimes.” Okay, and then you can step that, fully believe that, step, step, step, until you can get your full belief.

The True Reason You Aren’t Where You Want To Be

Here’s the thing. The reason that we’re not getting our goals, the reason that we don’t have as much money as we want, the reason that we don’t have as good of a relationships we want, is that underlying belief. And if you haven’t been getting your goals, or haven’t been as much progress as you want to in this lifetime, it’s because of the foundation of the underlying value belief system that has just been given to you. And it’s not because you're broken, it's because we're not taught until we're taught how to be able to go in and put, replace these beliefs that we have been assigned just because of the natural, just because of living, into what we want to have happen.

Okay. And then when we do that, then we're able to enhance our lives and other peoples.

Regardless of What You've Done

Now, here's the thing. I need you to know this, regardless of what you've done, and I mean regardless of what you’ve done. Are you hearing me? Or regardless of what you haven’t done, and regardless of what has been done to you, you are worth 100%, you are 100% worthy, 100% deserving of all the goodness and abundances in this world according to me.

And if you don't believe it, I'm asking you to start by taking my word for it. There's nothing that you can do to change that. It never has been up for debate.

You took on a meaning, but you can also take on a meaning that regardless of what has happened in your life experience, that you're fully deserving and worthy of everything and your value is 100%.

If you do it and you can accept it, promise you and it'll improve your world and everyone within your influence.

Hey, we're on the way. Stay with me. You Are Destined For Greatness.
