Your perception of the world and your decisions are changed based on your core beliefs. So it\u2019s important to align what you believe with the vision of the future you want to create. INCONGRUENCE LEADS TO SELF-SABOTAGE You can literally miss opportunities because of the beliefs you have and the decisions you\u2019ve made about certain things. For instance, if when you were young you heard your parents argue about money, you likely decided that money causes problems. As you go through life, your core belief that money causes problems manifests itself when you\u2019re faced with any situations related to money, likely causing you to miss opportunities. It becomes automatic thinking until you decide to reprogram your brain and beliefs. CHANGE YOUR AUTOMATIC THINKING & REPROGRAM The first two steps to reprogram your brain and core beliefs are: Understand you have automatic thinking happening in your life and become aware of what that thinking is Create new thoughts and believes that align with the future you want Instead of asking, \u201cWhy am I stuck in my business?\u201d ask questions like, \u201cHow am I not stuck? What am I doing that is working for me? How am I perfectly as far along as I should be right now?\u201d THE POWER OF IMAGINATION Based on psychological studies, our brains do not understand the difference between reality and imagination. Thinking about \u201cHow\u201d to achieve your preferred future stops you from achieving it. If you think you need to know the how to create something, you won\u2019t be able to imagine it. You won\u2019t imagine something that you don\u2019t have the answer to how for it if you believe the how is required. Therefore you must not focus on the \u201chow\u201d and begin to imagine. When you imagine, your brain physically changes which inspires new thoughts and ideas that become the \u201chow\u201d. If you can realize you don\u2019t need to know the how and make decisions about how your life will be, you will be able to imagine it and create mental pictures of it, which allow you to move forward rapidly. THE TWO STATES OF BEING There are only two states of being and you can only be in one or the other: Beautiful State \u2013 joy, calm, peace, excitement Suffering State \u2013 boredom, anxiety, overwhelm, jealousy Suffering is only caused by your own thinking. Suffering is separate from the experience and you have the ability to change your thinking that will put you in a beautiful state instead. So you have to proactively change your mind and thinking.
