Law of Attraction
Part II – Limiting Beliefs - This is the second installment in a series of articles on the Law of Attraction and how to make it work in your life. Read Part I Here.
Limiting beliefs are simply those beliefs we hold that prevent us from seeing all the possibilities.
Our beliefs are very powerful things. We live by what we believe and we fight for what we believe. When someone attempts to change our beliefs, we resist. To us, our beliefs are the facts. And we can’t change the facts, right?
The fact is the world is flat!
Something heavier than air cannot fly!
No man could ever walk on the moon!
All these statements have been proven false, but before they were proven true, they were seen as foolishness. Conventional wisdom dictated these things could never happen.
On a personal level, you may have some limiting beliefs concerning yourself. You may think you are not talented enough to accomplish a certain goal. You may think you don’t have the knowledge, the education, or the personality, or the money, or whatever it is to do what you want to do. You may have “I can’t because…” limiting beliefs about yourself.
The limiting beliefs you have of yourself represent an accumulation of experiences acquired throughout a lifetime. Since 95 per cent of all people lean toward the negative side, it is most likely that you have a negative impression of yourself.
Sometimes our beliefs are not true. We just think they are. And certainly you don’t have to believe in something for it to be true.
Are the Laws of the Universe not true for everyone simply because we don’t believe in them? 
We probably all know people who have achieved extraordinary things in their life. Have you ever wondered why some people seem to sail through life effortlessly but most don’t? Or, why some people always seem to be confident, at ease, and fulfilled but most don’t? Or, why some people standout as charismatic achievers but most don’t? Are you one of these people? Do you suppose that maybe these people just have a different system of beliefs about themselves and the world around them?
Our system of beliefs (conscious and unconscious) is a learned system. We learned it, and we can just as easily unlearn it. We unlearn it by replacing it with a new system.
Science is now catching up with what great healers, visionaries, and spiritual leaders have been telling us for years. It is now proven that our life is a reflection of our focused thoughts. You are what you think.
It‘s necessary then to change our limiting negative beliefs to positive thoughts. Offering these new positive thoughts to our subconscious will create a new belief system instead of the belief system our parents and our environment have taught us.
We only see what we believe is possible. If we would just open our minds to the possibilities, we just might see them….to be continued
