What do you believe?

Oprah's Life Class 3: You become What You Believe

This class examines: Understanding the Power that is within every person and knowing how to gain constant access to that power. It also explores how to consistently apply this new way of thinking into your thought process.

What do you believe? What are your beliefs?
What do you believe about yourself?
Do you believe what people say about you?
Are you influenced by the media? Your partner/spouse? Your friends?

A lot of people have ideas about themselves that have been formed by the outside. 

I truly believe that I am going to be someone GREAT. I expect GREAT things to happen to me.  Although throughout the years, I have been misguided and influenced by outside variables; I still believe that I am called to this earth for a specific reason and only I can fulfill that purpose. We all have gotten off track at one point or another in our life and I truly believe that misguidance is built into our journey. It is the only way we can realize that being guided by something or having some type of discipline built into our lifestyle is how we should live.

You are where you are in your life because your actions and energy bought you there. -Oprah

We must introduce our mind to higher thinking. The mind must be renewed daily. You must tell your mind what to think and how to believe. If you allow thoughts of whatever to flow through your mind, you have lost control. Your destiny is at stake. You have control over the flow of your life and the only way to stay in control is if you are totally conscious of what you are thinking at all times. This isn't anything like humanism where you forget there is a master Creator who ultimately has the last say so over your life. (Philosophy of humanism -a variety of ethical theory and practice that emphasizes reason, scientific inquiry, and human fulfillment in the natural world and often rejects the importance of belief in God.)
It is understanding that you don't get what you want. You don't become what you want. You become what you believe. You should never want to become what you want; because the want comes from lack instead of purpose and passion.

You will manifest the life that you believe. Whatever you deeply believe, you will create. The sum of all of your creation is your life. Find a way for the truth of yourself to express itself. We're all looking for the highest, fullest expression of ourselves as human beings. Unless you are finding a way for what you believe to be true about yourself to express and manifest itself in the world--- you are not living your fullest life. You cannot allow the voices of the world to drown out the voice inside. Intuition and instinct speaks to us all time. You must believe that there is something bigger and greater within and be guided by that. Pay attention to the life that you are living and leading right now. Believe that there is a reason why you are here. Know that every thing is a teacher to help for your next opportunity and situation. If you are believing something specific for your life understand that if nothing happens at first, its because every thing has a process. The energy that you place into the process makes it happen. (Low energy=low results.) Planting a seed, watering it, nurturing it, and bringing it to FULL manifestation involves and extensive process.


Just for five minutes, concentrate on the thoughts flowing through your mind. One superior thought that you must believe about you is that you are continuously evolving. We must evolve into humanity and in our conscious. Believe that you are worthy of the best that our creation has to offer. You are worthy of happiness, love, and peace.

Application is important. If you apply these simple practical steps to your life, you will experience unimaginable bliss.When I first learned about the law of attraction, I didn't realize how damaged my thought process was. When I first read The Secret, I felt empowered and unstoppable. But it didn't last. I reverted to my old ways, my old habits, and my old way of thinking. Because I had the audio book, I started listening to it twice a month. I had to get the concept embedded. For twenty-seven years, I was used to being led by emotions. I was good at letting my thoughts control my life. Information not rehearsed is soon forgotten. I was sure to begin to listen to it and apply what I was learning. There are many books on the mind that can help you with this process. (Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne are two great picks).
