“An old belief is like an old shoe. We so value its comfort that we fail to notice the hole in it.”
What do you believe about yourself? Do you believe you are smart? Hard-working? Understanding? Strong? Beliefs about ourselves develop over the course of our lifetime. They form as a result of our parents, families, friends, teachers, coaches, and self-awareness.
The old beliefs are OLD because they were formed very early. Unfortunately, they are usually the ones that are most damaging. These beliefs tell us we’re not good enough, tall enough, smart enough, cute enough, thin enough, or fast enough to get what we want out of life. And Brault’s idea about the HOLES in those “old beliefs” like old shoes, create problems. Holes in our shoes allow the water to seep in, the pebbles to roll around, and the cold air to rush inside – like old beliefs, making our life miserable, wet, uncomfortable and frozen. It’s time for some new shoes!
This week, I encourage you to form a new belief about yourself. One with a can-do focus and one that you have discovered as a result of your successes! Remember to BELIEVE in powerful new ways – about yourself, about your capabilities, about your life. It’s time to walk around in some BRAND NEW SHOES!
Make it a strong day!
