Do you want to live a life of significance?
Do you want to make a difference?
Do you desire to leave this world better than you found it?
If we want to help others, we must master the skills and gain experience. To do that, we must invest in our personal growth. We’ll focus on the keys to personal growth to be our best and help others at a higher level over the next several episodes.
Today is for you if…
I used to be jealous of others’ success. I thought they were lucky.
What I believed affected my destiny. I believed I didn’t get the lucky gene and lost out on the success lottery.
But, I was not doing the work to grow myself. I wasn’t willing to invest in myself.
More willing you are to invest in yourself, the more effort you’ll put in, and the greater your reach and effectiveness.
“Your beliefs become
Your thoughts.
Your thoughts become
Your words.
Your words become
Your actions.
Your actions become
Your habits.
Your habits become
Your values.
Your values become
Your destiny.”
–Mahatma Gandhi
Beliefs are the feeling of absolute certainty of what something means.
Belief is the way we define ourselves.
Our beliefs create, and our beliefs destroy.
Somewhere along the way, we created a belief that holds us back from living our life of significance in certain areas.
You may be thriving in one area, be average in another and dismal in yet another.
What makes the difference, whether we’re surviving or thriving? Belief.
Key #1 is to Change Our Beliefs.
We must change our beliefs holding us back if we’re going to grow into our best selves and help others to the level we desire.
Steps to change your beliefs:
1. Discover the belief
What do you believe about…
See your belief for what it is with no judgment.
2. Know your Why
Ask yourself, “Why do you want to change the belief?”
Our why makes it worth the effort to change.
When you can make it about something bigger than yourself, the self-doubt becomes a lot smaller.
3. Challenge Yourself
Make yourself do things you didn’t think you could do.
“If I say I can’t do something then I must.” – Jim Rohn.
4. Exchange Your Beliefs
Every time that old belief tries to stop remind yourself of the truth. Exchange the old belief for the new one.
Then repeat step 3 – Make yourself do things you didn’t think you could do.
When you’ve done that thing enough that you thought you couldn’t do, you realize there’s more in you.
You’ll think, “If I can do that? What else can I do?”
