Acceptance

(By Dr. Chuck Spezzano)

Acceptance heals hurt. It heals the resistance that causes or exacerbates the pain. When you accept, it allows you to move forward in the flow, because what you accept, you naturally let go of.

Do You Remember The Time When You Believe You Can Do Anything?

(By Sasha Xarrian, Founder of Outrageous Mastery, and reproduced from the "Master Your Beliefs - Take Control Of Your Life" website at: http://www.masteryourbeliefs.com/)

Do you remember what it was like when you were a kid?

When you believed that you could be anything you wanted to be when you grew up?

When you believed you could do anything?

The possibilities were endless.

You remember don't you?

You could be a police officer, or a doctor, or an astronaut.

You believed you could be anything you wanted and have anything you wanted

Like that Radio Flyer Wagon or Barbie doll or Dump Truck

You believed that you were "worthy of" and "entitled to" that new toy that you wanted to play with.

You didn't think about the money it could cost to have it.

I mean, at some point you believed money grew on trees and you would think, "Why can't I have that wagon, doll or truck? Don't they {your parents} know how happy that would make me?"
You believed that anything was possible.

And it was.

You didn't have any doubts.

You didn't have any judgments.

You didn't see the "why nots," you just saw the "what ifs."

So, let me ask you this...

Do you still believe you can be or have anything you desire?

Do you believe you are worthy and deserving of having it all?

No?

Why not?

What happened?

Why don't you still believe that you can have it all?

Why don't you still believe that you are worthy enough?

Why do you see all the reasons why it won't work?

Why you can't do it?

Why it's not possible?

Why?

I'll tell you why, but first let me say this...

"It's not your fault that you believe this way."

Here's why:

As you went through life, your beliefs changed.

Other people told you that XYZ wasn't possible.

That told you that you had to work hard.

That life was a struggle.

That you didn't deserve it.

That you weren't good enough, or smart enough, or attractive enough.

At first, you didn't believe them.

Right?

You were still a "kid at heart." You thought that you could have it all.

But then you tried and failed.

We all did.

And the more we tried and failed, the more we began adopting these beliefs as "truths" and "facts."

These fraudulent truths and facts became our beliefs.

We started saying and believing:

I'm not good enough.

I'm not smart enough.

Nothing ever works out for me.

Other people are just lucky.

I'll never succeed.

Life is hard.

The list goes on and on, doesn't it?

Well, I'm here to tell you –

"This Is Not The Truth"

That is not who you are!

That is not what life is about!

These are other people's old, worn out, self-sabotaging beliefs.

And if you don't change these beliefs...

Life will continue to be hard.

You will continue to experience your life exactly like it is now.

You will continue to struggle.

You will continue to fight.

continue to "want more" and never get it.

Your Beliefs Literally Control Your Life.

They control YOU.

Now, obviously I'm NOT talking about religious or political beliefs.

I'm talking about the beliefs that are far more hidden.

It is the Hidden Beliefs that are actually Controlling Every Decision You Make and Action You Take.

You aren't even aware of the beliefs that are controlling your life.


Your beliefs are the cause and effect of everything in your life.


Your beliefs create your feelings and your emotional responses.


Your beliefs determine your success (or lack of it).


Your beliefs determine the quality of your relationships and even whom you choose to be in a relationship with.

Your beliefs determine the kind of... car you drive, home you live in, clothes you wear, job you have

"Your" beliefs have literally created the life "you" are now living.

If you are miserable in any area of your life, it is because of the beliefs you have in that area of your life.

If you aren't living the life of your dreams and creating the life you deserve, it is the perfect time to uncover the hidden beliefs that are keeping you stuck.

No amount of positive thinking, affirmations, law of attraction, or anything else will work to its full potential until you consciously select and incorporate new beliefs.

Our beliefs control everything in our lives!
