A New Journey

I have been attending a seminar for the past two weeks called Power 90, done by a company called Outlook Development. It is meant to be a "Success Attainment System." One of the main aspects of this program focuses on the fact that your beliefs determine your actions. If you can get down to your root beliefs and remove the undesirable ones and then replace them with the beliefs that you want to base your life on you will be able to transform yourself into the person you desire to become. I know, this sounds so simple. But how does one go about doing these things?

The first problem is nailing down the actual belief that is causing the actions and results that you want to change in your life. Once you've done this, you need to decide that you truly don't want to hold on to this belief any more. What then? At this point, you have decided to remove this old and limiting (or even destructive) belief. Just ridding yourself of this belief is not enough. You must replace it with a new belief, so that the old belief cannot return. But, just as with the plants my wife and I have been growing this summer, when you bring in a new belief or plant to put into the place of something else, you have to tend to it quite a bit at first to make sure it settles in well. Even then, it may be a bit of an adjustment and might look like it won't quite take. Continue giving it the care and support it needs and you may be surprised to see how well that new plant or belief does. In the case of the new belief, you may be surprised how good it feels to have a new positive belief, or, better yet, how great it feels to live that new belief.

One of the ways to support and nurture a new belief is to create what Outlook refers to as momentums. As Newton so clearly explained:  "Every object in ... motion tends to remain in ... motion unless an external force is applied to it." Momentums are basically things that can be done to help solidify and entrench this new belief into the very fiber of your being. This belief just becomes part of you and now positively affects the way you live your life.

I could talk so much more about what I am learning, but it would begin to drag on. To finish this entry, this program teaches how to examine many things in life and to change those you desire to change. It helps in building a support network and creating the motivation to be accountable to yourself and those you have invited to help you in changing your life for the better. I am actually enjoying what I have experienced so far and am very much looking forward to what I will yet get to do.
