Here are 2 examples to illustrate how the different beliefs we adopt affect and impact our outcomes in life
If you have a belief that all men are unfaithful, you will only remember and focus on all the times when you saw and heard about men being unfaithful. You will tend to mentally delete all the instances when it did not support your belief. You will also tend to distort what you see and what you hear to support your beliefs.
For example, if your husband were to call and say, "Honey, I am working late." What thoughts would be fired off in your mind if you are a woman who thinks that all men are unfaithful?
You may start having suspicions about him fooling around since you believe that all men are unfaithful. And how would you likely react, as a result? You would probably start questioning him, checking up on his every move, start getting paranoid, insecure and even upset, shouting at him when he comes back.
As a result, what would happen? The relationship will break down, forcing him to do what you feared the most, have an affair. I have seen so many instances where a person's belief system becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, whatever you believe in strong enough becomes your reality. This is because you would take the action that support whatever beliefs you have, thus encouraging the result.
Some people have a belief that there are no opportunities to make money at all. They believe that going into a business is a mistake. As a result, they focus on all the news they read in the newspapers, focus friends telling them about how people have lost money, and went bankrupt, failing and losing everything. This keeps confirming their beliefs and preventing them from taking any future opportunities.
At the same time, there are people who believe that there are many opportunities out there and that money is easy to make if you know how. So what happens to these people?
