I had to come back and re-write this section of the book because I had far too many beliefs that were limiting my ability to create, have and achieve what I want and limiting my happiness at the same time.
The trouble is, these untrue beliefs shape our reality – we attract what we focus on – so there’s plenty of fuel to justify our beliefs. I’ll talk about mine some other time, but first let’s use a simple thing like the dog and cat in the photo as an example.
Someone who had a crappy experience with a dog being aggressive with cats, who had formed a belief that ALL dogs weren’t to be trusted with cats, would notice all kinds of things happening around them that would justify that belief and that would become their reality – dogs were untrustworthy with cats. They would see example after example of that untrustworthiness that would be re-created over and over again around them in such a way that they would genuinely be able to say ” Look! It’s just as I said, dogs can’t be trusted with cats!”
But is that really the whole story?
To my young friend Sara, whose dog and cat this is, that’s simply not true. Her reality is completely different – that problem, that behavior simply doesn’t happen around her. What SHE is creating means that the lovely energy between dogs and cats is re-created around her over and over again.
What untrue beliefs are getting in the way of your ability to create what you want, have what you want and do what you want? What untrue beliefs are getting in the way of your happiness, causing that round and round in circles, feeling crappy, struggling stuff? We’ll be talking more about this as we go along, but if you’re in a hurry, bring this into a live event – it’s VERY powerful stuff!
