A popular question that I often ask at my live events is, "which day of the month were you born?" My follow up question to your answer is, "How do you know that?" The most popular answer I get is that it's on my birth certificate!' Does that make it right?
Not hardly. Birth certificates have been wrong, some fake, some forged. Then I get the answer, because that's when my parents said I was born.
Interestingly, I had someone in my audience at one of my events who is from a family of about 8 siblings relate how at a recent family reunion they have all realized that they've been celebrating one of his brother's birthday on the wrong day.
Once it was revealed to him, he decided to keep celebrating it on the wrong day. It was easier than changing it and all the work that would come with changing all of his records.
What's my point? You really don't know when you were born. You've just believed someone else or a piece of paper. It could be right, it could be wrong.
I share this with you to illustrate that you there are a lot more important things in your life that you have come to believe about yourself that you've been told or told yourself that simply may not be true. This in turn has affected you all your life and will continue to do so if not corrected.
Don't take your thoughts for granted! We could have even more fun with this. How do you know you're parents are really your parents?
Hate to break the news! You don't, unless you have a DNA test. Oh, yes, you might look like your father, brother, sister or mother, but with billions of people on this planet, someone else does too.
With babies accidentally switched at birth and other crazy things that happen you never know sometimes.
But no, it's not time to take a break and call your parents if they are available and try to confirm that they really are your parents. The odds are most likely in your favor.
So let's take some time and explore some things that you might have brought into that effect yourself image, relationships and lifestyle to name just a few.
We all have past experiences that we must do our very best and not to allow them to prevent us from moving ahead in our lives.
I unfortunately know a thing or two about negative past experiences. Everything from my wife telling my baby really isn't mine, to my grandfather and stepfather dying of cancer and my father being murdered.
I have been very careful not to let these past experiences create limited beliefs in my thinking. If I did it would be virtually impossible to attain the things in life that I have. Peace of mind being one of the highest on my list.
Don't get me wrong, this is not to get you to think I didn't have some bad days. But there is one thing worse than having a bad day. That's having a bad day and not knowing how to change it.
Let's focus on some practical ways of changing thoughts of our past. I will also debunk some myths that are popular that don't work. I guess so because they sound good.
One of the things I have some in my Discovering the Perfect You program is to try to identify negative things that have happened in their life that they over compensate for that are not normal.
Next, "Watch your attitude!" That's right, 'Watch your attitude'. By that I mean don't think you're going to use positive thinking to put your past in your past!
Trust me on this one. Positive thinking is like spray paint on rust. It doesn't last long.
Saying positive things and becoming it are two different things.
The more you say a positive affirmation the less you believe it, that's why you keep saying it. Allow me to repeat that. The more you say a positive affirmation the less you believe it, that's why you keep saying it.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that positive affirmations don't work. I've found that most people don't know how to correctly use them.
Not to mention most don't really know what a positive affirmation is. Often people confuse a simple statement as a positive affirmation.
Either way, positive affirmations must be turned into beliefs for them to be effective. Remember, that for every belief you act on you get a result. Once you convert your affirmations to beliefs results start happening.
When you truly get this point you'll get to a higher understanding in realizing that there is a difference between made up of your thoughts and your thoughts not being made up of you.
Understanding that your 'thought's are not made up of you' means that they are just that, thoughts. Change them, make them disappear, ignore them. And when you do they are no longer made up of you.
When you change your thoughts you change your influence motivation . So be careful what you have taught yourself to believe or what have programmed you to believe if they don't serve you.
The moral of the story is, 'The smart person believes half of what he hears, and the intelligent person knows which half to believe.' This even includes your own thoughts!
