Reflection 14. Upgrade your belief system

Many people are operating below their full potential. Are you one of them? You have

the power and ability to ignite your passion, and activate your hidden brilliance. Your

thoughts, words, and actions arise from the various beliefs you have on particular

matters. In fact, you have a belief about almost everything, although very often, it is

quite unconscious. Thus, if you are experiencing limitation, struggle, or hardship in

any area of your life, there is a belief in that area that does not serve your intentions

in life.

You have to clarify, change, clear, and contradict that non-serving belief.

Improve your chances of success, by strengthening the three pillars of thinking,

focusing, and action steps. What are you thinking about continuously grows

stronger in your life. Be careful about criticizing, condemning, and complaining

about others and situations. Most importantly, do not criticize, condemn or

complain about yourself.

What you focus on is what will get done because of your systematic attention.

However, be sensitive to the moment, and the opportunities that unexpectedly

present themselves. Being flexible, without compromising your principles, confronts

reality, and optimizes opportunity.

A critical aspect of moving towards a more successful life is to take different

action. If you want to move beyond where you are at present, you have to

take some different action to what you have been doing in the last nine to twelve

months. The same thinking, focus and action that brought you to your present

level of success, cannot take you to the next higher level of success.

Sameness is the enemy of growth. What this means is that you have a real

challenge to move out of your comfort zone. If you want to progress, you have

to do better than you are doing now, and this requires you to make more diligent

efforts than you are making at present. You can rise to your next higher level of

performance. Believe in yourself, and in your potential.
