The Power of Attitude: 2. Beliefs shape your reality

Learn how your beliefs shape your perception of reality

Belief is like the cookie cutter we use to shape a cookie. A floral cutter will make a flower

cookie. Likewise, any cookie will take on the shape of the cutter that shaped the dough.

A big difference though is that the choice to use certain cookie cutters is conscious, but a

#belief is often a subconscious, pre-conditioned program implanted in our minds.

So, if we want to be in control of our emotions, it’s important for us to become aware of

our beliefs. A way to do so is to be conscious of how we respond to different situations and

to dig deeper into why we have certain beliefs about how we should act in those

situations. We should also be clear with ourselves as to the outcomes we want (intention

and goal), so that we can become more conscious of how we can behave to get the best

results.

Imagine having your hands tied, and being force-fed whatever is given to you to eat - you

lack both control over the situation and what goes into your body.

Now imagine being fed, but always having the option of what to eat, when, and how

much. You don’t necessarily have the power to control what food is offered to you, but

you have more control over the situation in that you can choose what goes into your body.

“Be conscious of your beliefs and exercise your freedom of choice to modify them to better safeguard your well being.”
