WHAT BELIEF BREAK THROUGHS HAVE YOU HAD?
I have been taking mental notes for sometime now regarding my belief break throughs. Some major and some not so major. Some personal and some about what I see in others around me.
Then we also have those comparisons. Those beliefs we have been carrying around that we also see in others. I like those, because they are so visible. Its so easy to see others standing in their beliefs, than to see ourself standing in ours.
One of the major belief break throughs that I had several years ago was regarding self-worth. We all struggle with this don't we. Its like a wave that goes up and down. It has its highs and lows when you dont face it head on. I dont have these highs and lows anymore since this break through.
The old lingering belief that hung on for so long was "What others thought about me""how they judged me". All this thinking they were doing, was forming who I was. I would ask myself many times "what are they thinking"? In that same circle of thought I would work hard within myself that others would only think good of me, they would think highly of me, the list goes on. It mattered to me, if they were thinking bad thoughts. I came to realized I could effect what others were thinking of me. After all I was a mirror of them. So in all this, one would ASK, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF? This is the only thing you have control over. What you think about yourself, your selfworth, etc is in your control and no one elses. So if you think you are IMPORTANT...guess what...YOU ARE. This is all that matters.
So in this, what ever you think about yourself, is what others see in you also. So be IT.
Be IMPORTANT.
Be Worthy.
Be the CEO.
Be the Rock STAR.
Be the Actor.
Be the Artist
Be a Success.
What ever IT is.
REMEMBER you can NEVER NOT BE.
What do you think? Name the BE in you !

Tat, Somehow I miss this response you made. I just this morning spotted it. I was just posting a discussion about beliefs and stress. Interesting how you used the word DEBILITATING. I was having a debilitating experience the last couple of days and this morning I just read something that helped me thru it. Debilitating definately discribed my condition. Old beliefs can be DEBILITATING. Belated thanks for this reply, Hugs Jilly

One thing I remember I did in the past was that I always assumed that people are bad, negative and they want to use me. Yes, yes, yes......This was what my mother taught me, I think it was a kind of a self-defence mechanism and a self-fulfilling prophecy....but i have observed that if I assume that people are good and they want to do good, and that I can expect good things from them, then everything has changed! now I look for good things in people, I focus on good features of people and not on the bad ones! This was one of the biggest breakthroughs

Aleksandra, my mother taught me the same things! I believed if people showed an interest in me then their intentions were to use or manipulate me in some way. Of course, I attracted people in my life who matched my expectations and had a terrible time, especially in my teens.
I thought that it was better to be loving and kind, but that the 'nasty' people were more powerful. They always seemed to win. So one of my major belief breakthroughs was that being assertive - saying NO to mistreatment - was a loving thing to do both for yourself and the mistreater. And that when I first started trying this theory out I expected to be annhiliated, actually it created a wonderful feeling of peace. Thats also when I understood that love really is more powerful than fear, it may not feel like it sometimes but it always is.

One of my biggest belief breakthroughs was about religion. After my parents divorced, I became a 'born-again' Christian and attended evangelical churches. I was about 13 and I fully accepted the Christian worldview - we are born sinful, abominations before God unless we ask Jesus for forgiveness. We have free will, but if we don't use it in a way that pleases God, we go to Hell forever. The thought terrified me, and I was so upset that the vast majority of people in the world were worshipping 'false' gods and were going to Hell. It sounds silly now but I really did believe that was how it worked. I was frightened to look into other religions in case 'the Devil' tempted me away from Jesus.
All these beliefs do not create a happy life! So much shame, guilt, despair, and -buried deep- anger that God was such a tyrant. Why did the world have to be like this?
My breakthrough came when I was about 19, I read that the Dalai Lama was quoted saying he did not believe that Buddhism was necessary for salvation, that there were many other paths. I was so stunned that a religious leader would be so tolerant! He seemed so wise, I allowed myself to hear this different viewpoint, although I was a bit scared that the Devil was finding a way in :-0
Then I read Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes' book, where he describes the Sioux religion and their culture. He said that as a medicine man he was not interested in a preacher telling him what God wants - his job was to experience God first-hand, to have mystical experiences. I was REALLY interested in that concept, that I could directly access the Divine. This was my first small step towards trusting myself, my own intuition and experience and to gradually stop putting others' opinions far above my own. For me that was major. I think because I was encouraged from a young age to disregard my feelings and trust the authorities instead (like most of us have been taught, but let me tell you i really took it to heart!)
