Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 124 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom.

Your Beliefs Create Your Reality (1)

Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 124 of our Trek. Yesterday we discovered how our beliefs affect our decisions which affect our outcomes. We are going to expand this subject over the next few days and explore how your beliefs actually create your reality. This is why it is so crucial to make sure that your belief system is on a solid foundation. If you have any of your own observations, comments, or questions as we share time together on our daily trek, please share them in the comment section of our daily journal pages.

As we prepare for our Trek and the dangers that we may face today, we discuss the concern about depth perception on narrow trails that are strewn with loose rocks. This is a particular concern on downhill slopes where a misstep could send us tumbling down the trail or worse yet over a cliff. As we think of this, I am reminded that our perception is our reality in our trek of life.

Perceptions come from your beliefs; therefore, what you believe becomes your reality. As we trek today I want to ask you, “What if some of your beliefs about yourself and your worldview are not true?” What if you have self-limiting beliefs about your world that are restricting you from fulfilling your God-given potential?

We all have the imposter syndrome to some extent. Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident or potential success. Let us not confuse this success with material wealth; that is only one minor measure of a successful life.  As we...
