Your Self Motivation May Be Lost on Your Beliefs

If you are new to my self-motivation articles, allow me a quick recap. The articles are based on my purchasing thousands and thousands of dollars worth of self help and self motivation material over the past 30 years. Yet with all the information I have acquired over the years I still have not received the endless abundance promised to me time and time again.

The sad part is I am not alone. The experts say 97% of the people who purchase self improvement materials never attain the goals they set for themselves. Thus the articles are a quest to find out why the terrible success rate. Is it the self help industries fault, our own lack of self motivation or maybe a combination of both?

Today's article is about belief. I know you have heard it before "what the mind conceives and believes it will achieve". Or Henry Ford's "whether you think you are right or think you are wrong you are correct". Yet I have done the positive thinking thing many, many times before and it has never yielded the awesome results promised. The question becomes why, is the law of attraction not real or am I doing it wrong. Well that's a whole different story we will leave to a future article.

What I want to discuss is what you believe actually true. I think an example will help get my point across. Over the past 10 years I have owned three restaurants and presently a catering business. One made me a small fortune, one lost me a big fortune, and two did OK. 

Yet at the same time I have been trying to create a full time internet business. Because of this I never focused fully on my restaurants. My belief was sometime over the next two months my internet business of the month will start generating $10,000 a month so I don't have to worry about building my restaurant business.

Well the reality was and is, I am not going to earn $10,000 a month from my internet adventures starting next month. I have 10 years hard data to prove this. Yet in my mind year after year I still acted as if these were a reality.

My point is to take a good look at your own beliefs and see which ones are true and which ones you just want to be true. If you have been telling yourself for five years next month I am going to get that promotion, yet it never happens maybe you need to take a look at why instead of just blindly believing next month is going to be different.
