Does It Really Matter What Your Fundamental Beliefs Are?

Do you think that it really matters what your core, fundamental beliefs are?
Or to put in another way, do you think your fundamental beliefs have any influence I your financial area, or your career or business, or your relationships? Or what your health and fitness beliefs are?
The answer is an unambiguous, indisputable yes!
Your core beliefs manage the way you live your life; they shape your life, your financial life, your business, your relationships, and your health. In fact, the way you are living your life right now is mainly directed and shaped by the core fundamental beliefs that you are holding within you.
It is very important to realise here is that a very high percentage of your fundamental beliefs are sabotaging and limiting you from success, excellence and greatness. And the critical point to grasp is that those beliefs are mostly not based on facts or reality.
They are not based on truth.
They are primarily beliefs that you acquired, willingly or not, consciously or not, as you were growing up, as you progressed through life. You sucked in beliefs like a dry sponge, especially when you were a child; from your parents, friends, teachers, books, movies, and so on. And those core beliefs are now the way you see, understand and interpret the world, your world.
You are making your daily decisions based upon those fundamental beliefs; those beliefs that were not necessarily yours in the first place.
Some of these beliefs may be helpful, whilst the majority may be unfavourable and damaging. One of the most common underlying, fundamental beliefs is, "I am not good enough." Many people have been told that statement when they were young; by their parents, teachers or teased by their friends.
This belief, that you heard many times when you were young, has become deep-seated within your mind and has the power and potential of keeping you stuck where you are.
Whatever you attempt to do, you will probably fail, simply because you have this belief that you are not good enough.
As if that were true. That belief is a lie. It simply isn't true.
If you couldn't draw a house when you were a child and you were told you're not good enough, what has that got to do with you running your own business at the age of 25?
In theory, nothing. But you held on to that belief that you are not good enough, and it has unconsciously held you back from having that successful in your own business.
That's what I mean by most of your core, fundamental beliefs are lies. Certainly a very high percentage of them are, and yet they govern our lives, as in the example I have just mentioned.
The limiting belief of "I am not good enough" must be eliminated from your unconscious mind and must be replaced with a self enhancing belief, so you may move forward and become the successful business owner that is within your right to be.
