Your belief changes reality

Jun 19, 2012

—

This is difficult for some people to believe, but it is true, let me explain it here.

Behavioral scientists have found that 80% of communication is nonverbal. That means our expression, behavior and mannerisms convey more than our words. When a person believes something it changes his nonverbal communication. For example, if he believes his wife is being unfair to him, his nonverbal communication tips her off that he has a bad attitude. Once she senses his bad attitude, the natural reaction is to get a bad attitude back.

The same is true in dealing with your boss. If you feel she is unfair and mean, your attitude will start to show your belief in various different ways. Soon your boss will pick up on it and begin to treat you in a mean, unfair fashion.

But belief can change more than just the other person’s behavior. An athlete who really believes he can win an event will tend to work harder than one who doesn’t have much hope of winning. The belief instills persistence. If the athlete daydreams about winning it strengthens the belief and excites him enough to will to work harder.

William James, the Father of American Psychology said that the most important factor when you start a difficult undertaking is a strong belief that you can accomplish your task. Dozens of successful people who take the time to explain how they accomplished great things almost always talk about belief.

The more you believe you can do it, the more likely you are to achieve it.

i do believe that belief makes reality.. haha, that reads funny. anyway, reality is only your perception of the world, if you choose to look at it like that. and viewing the world like that has its advantages, because you can then change your reality. your outlook on life can change with a snap of your fingers, and you will be going to new and better places from there ^_^ you dont have to wait for someone to LET you do what you want, follow your own path, etc. just BELIEVE! 😀

Karma…what you put out ALWAYS will and does come back at you, eventually.

  Yes, well I guess karma is the word from the eastern religions, but the Bible says the same thing. Jesus and Apostle Paul both said a person reaps what they sow, basically karma.

Absolutely! If negative energy is what you put into the Universe that is what will come back to you.
