Beliefs

I heard a great quote on a podcast by The Minimalists who had their friend as a guest on stage, his name is JP Sears. A very funny guy and his YouTube channel is a scream, he really doesn’t take life seriously at all and neither should you.

His quote was:

“Don’t believe your beliefs”.

Wow that really struck a chord with me and got me thinking, just a bit.

We form many beliefs over our very very short lifetime and they either serve us or they don’t. But what if none of them were actually true and we made it all up, because society showed us stuff and we decided to believe that stuff.

Wow, now I am really questioning my own beliefs and wondering whether what I believe is just a load of nonsense and none of it is actually reality. Now that would really mess with my mind, in fact it already is.

There is good news though. As most of our own beliefs are limiting beliefs or negative beliefs, then actually this is very very good news, because none of them are actually true, none of them, not one single one.

If anything would set you free then this should but for some reason the hardest thing for anyone of us is tackling our limiting beliefs.

He had another quote.

“There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those that believe that they have limiting beliefs and those that are in denial believing they have no limiting beliefs”.

It’s a bit of a tongue twister and it’s so true, we all have them, every single one of us.

It’s worth repeating, “Stop believing your beliefs”.
