When we’re worried, we look for things to worry about.
When we’re angry, we look for things to be angry about.
When we’re irritable, we look for things to be irritated about.
The same follows for beliefs, too.
When we believe we’re stuck, we look for reasons to confirm our stuck-ness.
When we believe we’re victims, we look for reasons to confirm our victimhood.
When we believe we’re worthless, we look for reasons to confirm our worthlessness.
Our beliefs dictate our actions. We certainly don’t instinctually act in opposition to our beliefs. However, our actions are precisely what dictate our beliefs.
Here’s the thing: if you can figure out how to act in opposition to the beliefs that don’t serve you—you will have figured out the key to changing your beliefs altogether.
