Have you ever wondered how you came to be who you are?
Why you think the way you think? Why you act the way
you act?

Actually there is one source of why we act as we do ...
what we are capable of accomplishing ... and who we
are. That one source is beliefs. Your beliefs are the
superglue that holds your entire personality together.

A True Story
Beliefs can run very deep. They are often securely
glued into our subconscious mind, and are not easily
overturned. There's a classic clinical story I still
remember learning about years ago in an Abnormal
Psychology course.

The true story is of a young man who suddenly believes
he is dead -� a walking corpse. His exasperated parents
struggle with him, and finally arrange an appointment
with a highly respected New York City psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist tried his professional best to
convince the young man that he was not a corpse, and
that he was certainly not dead.

The two men fruitlessly argued the point back and
forth. Finally the psychiatrist had an idea he was
certain would convince the young man that his belief
was erroneous.

The psychiatrist turned to the young man and asked, ¤�Do
you think dead people bleed?�

The young man thought about this for a moment, then
answered: ¤‹Do, all body functions have stopped when
you're dead. So there would be no blood flowing.�

The psychiatrist then took a needle from his desk and
pricked the young man's finger. The young man gasped
and stared at his finger in amazement. ¤”ell,� he
finally stammered. ¤†£kl be darned. Dead people DO
bleed!�

His belief was so powerful that logical evidence had no
influence over it at all.

Here's The Point
Here's the point of this old Abnormal Psychology
clinical case: Unless you are willing to take action,
your beliefs can remain beyond challenge -- even in the
face of undeniable evidence they are not true.

Why is this so? It's because our beliefs have little or
nothing to do with reality. They are artificially
created ¥Neality filters� built by our minds in an
attempt to establish a sense of order and meaning in
our personal world.

And once established, our beliefs then serve as a
filter of our perceptions of the world around us.

Suppose you were told you£qe clumsy since early
childhood, and you have come to believe it to be true.
I£l willing to bet that if I give you a motor skills
test proving you have above average coordination, you
will ¥Loo poo� the test as meaningless. Why? Because
your deep subconscious belief would run right over the
external evidence.

If you congruently believe something to be true, your
subconscious mind will then automatically filter your
perceptions of the world through that belief. In effect
-- we only experience reality through our own belief
filters.

The Power of a Belief
But there's hope. Here's a piece of history that
illustrates how exercising the courage to challenge an
old belief can actually shatter the limitations of an
old belief-created "reality filter."

For many years it was universally believed to be
impossible for mankind to run a mile in four minutes.
The athletes of the time held this belief, and the
scientific world totally agreed.

But then on May 6, 1954 -- something remarkable
happened. It seems there was one man who did NOT
believe it impossible to run a ¥Bour minute mile.� In
fact this man firmly believed this barrier could be
broken ... and that he would be the one to do so.

The name of this remarkable rebel was Roger Bannister
-- and on that fateful day he did indeed run the first
historically-recorded ¥Bour minute mile.�

Bannister's amazing victory illustrates the power of
one man's belief in his own capabilities. But it is
even more interesting that just six weeks later,
Australian runner John Lundy cut one second off
Bannister's record. And in the following ten years
almost two hundred people also broke this so-called
¥Empossible� barrier.

Why did this happen? Because Bannister shattered the
belief that the four minute mile was impossible. And
when that belief fell � the 4-minute mile suddenly
became possible.

The Only Way to Change Your Beliefs
Your personal beliefs set and define the limits of what
you can (and cannot) achieve in your lifetime.

If your beliefs are empowering, your ¥Neality filter�
will present a world full of opportunities and success.
But if you are have severely limiting beliefs, your
¥Neality filter� will present you with a lifetime
filled with one disappointment, frustration and failure
after another. That's just the way it works.

If you are not achieving what you desire in your life,
there's 100% probability the source of the problem is
limiting beliefs and reality filters. And this
absolutely will not just go away on its own.

There's one way out of this dilemma -� tackle the
problem head-on. There are two tools you£kl need to
challenge and re-program any limiting beliefs: (1)
Absolute passionate desire, and (2) intense focus. Put
these to work on an old belief, and you can become your
own Roger Bannister.
