And, what do you believe? Not sure, what about a check-up?

If there is a center to our universe, it lies in what we believe. Thus, whatever transpires in our minds, materializes in our lives. Believing in the power to transform lives, to seek peace and to achieve goals all require two things:

1. Making a choice.
2. Giving ourselves permission to move past our insecurities and doubts. My grandson called those doubts, the "Cranking Noise". He just tells the Noise to go take a nap! It must work his knows all of US Presidents, in order. Just got his orange belt and best of the best in Tae Kwon Do. Like my grandson, we can tell our fears to take a nap and we can learn to invite, allow and accept, peace of mind into our circle of beliefs. Then we can dwell comfortably in the house of abundance, rather than the house of pain.

The Six Questions

Most of us have never asked ourselves these questions. We don’t necessarily learn the questions, or for that matter, the answers from our parents, teachers or friends. These questions take some time to really answer. So, go over them at least six times—going deeper each time. Ask yourself, how do you know what you believe is true? Ask yourself is that the way you really want to believe? Could you have it your way, how would it be if you were running the show? Also, ask yourself—am I willing to let go of any of these beliefs and perceptions, if they are not longer working for me?

1. What do you believe about trust??? When do you give it? When do others begin to trust you?
2. How do you measure success? Do you believe there is never a failure or do you believe there is rarely a success?
3. Does work have to be hard? Can it be fun? Can it be effortless?
4. What do you believe about time?? Is there never enough? Will you always have just what you need to get the job done?
5. Think about what you believe about relationships. Is there such a thing as a lifelong relationship? Is life a solitary event or something in between?
6. What role do play and relaxation have in your life? Is it important to start taking care of yourself first or should you be last on your list?

I have recently been doing this inventory. Like a check-up at the Doctor's office, I think we need to regular schedule time to conduct a beliefs check-up ans see how we spend our time and money...that usually tells us what we believe and gives us clues on what we need to change! Happy check-up. Keep in mind, the larger the gap between what we believe and how we act the more stress we experience!!
