If You Can Believe It, You Can Achieve It - Reframing For Success

The key to quickly changing a belief is to associate massive pain with the old belief and associate massive pleasure with the new belief. Think about how that old belief has held you back and stagnated your potential. See of all of missed opportunities and grief this belief caused you. Feel the pain this belief has caused you and others. Does that create a frustrated feeling within you? Good! Amplify that feeling.
 
Imagine if you had this new, healthier belief ten years ago. What would your life be like?
See the huge gap between where you could be and where you are. This belief caused that gap. That gap represents pain. The pain is the pain of not having the life that is your God given right to have.
 
Now, reframe that belief into one that motivates you and pulls you in the direction you want to go. Here are some examples how you can reframe old beliefs into new ones.
 
Money Belief Reframe

Money is a tool that you can use for good. You can help more people when you have more money. You can help your family when you have more money. You will sleep better at night knowing you have emergency funds when something goes awry. Money is a result of service to other people.
 
Attraction Belief Reframe

Attraction is not an intellectual decision. We see too many instances of average men with beautiful women and handsome men with average women. The truth is that a good person looks for qualities not quantities.
 
Examples of quantities are how much money does the person make. What kind of car does the person drive? What kind of job does the person have? When a person really knows his or herself, he or she will focus instead on qualities not quantities. Quality refers to the types of emotional experiences you have when you are with this person. When you are with someone who touches places within you that you maybe didn't even know existed, you will find massive attraction. You want someone to say, "I've never met anyone like you before," not, "I've never met someone with a car like this before."
 
When you believe that you have to have quantities in order to get someone attracted to you, the message is that you are not enough with those "things." That is massive self-doubt in action.
 
Education Belief Reframe

Formal education is great, but not necessary to succeed. There are too many examples of people who have done extraordinarily well with by learning from their real life experience rather than an ivory tower theory. Your author is one of them. Far more impressive is the success of Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson, who dropped out of school at age 16 and went on to become a billionaire.
 
To coin a corny phrase, if you can believe it you can achieve it. History is full of people overcoming incredible odds including self-doubt to achieve remarkable accomplishments. You will be one of them.
