So today what we're going to talk about is your belief system. What is your belief system? And what we're going to talk about is how your beliefs create your actions which create your results. Because we all, in the end, what we want to do is we want to produce better results and we want to change our results. And your beliefs are based off the way that you've been wired over your lifetime, by the way you've been talked to by other people, the way you've talked to yourself, the way you've seen the results that you have and you've created these beliefs. So let me tell you this. What is a belief? A belief is something that you are absolutely certain of. That's what it is. It's something that you're absolutely certain of in your head. And the way you live your life is based on the beliefs. But here's how it works in your success and what you wanna get out of life. If you want to change your life, you have to be absolutely certain that, that the steps that you will take or you're about to take, or that you're in the process of taking are the steps that will change your life. So here's the deal. When you think about absolutely not going to something that's like absolutely not going to work for you, then you will never do it. If you say this is not gonna work for me, absolutely not, then you'll never do it. But here's the other thing is you know that if you're like, nope, I can never do that, then you'll never even try. You don't waste your time. The middle is what kills people. You have absolutely certain, you have absolutely uncertain. And then you have the middle. No man's land where maybe what you want will work for you, maybe it won't. And that's the place that kills people. That's where success goes to die. And if it's a must for you, if Something is an absolute must for you, then you have to make it work. You will absolutely figure out a way to make it work. And let me give you an example. If I asked you right now, do you believe that you can make a million dollars in the next 12 months? Do you believe that you can make a million dollars in the next 12 months? Be completely honest with yourself. 99.9% of you would say no, because you don't believe that you can make. You know, you don't think you can make a million dollars in the next 12 months. You don't believe that it's possible because you probably haven't done it before. But let me ask you this. If I put a gun to your head and said you have to make 12 in the next 12 months, you have to make $1 million, or your entire family and every single person that's important to you in your life will die, would you find a way to make a million dollars in 12 months if I said that? If it was your entire family and everyone that's important to you in your life, yes, you would absolutely, 100% find a way. And the reason is because it's become a must. Now let me ask you this. What has changed? Did the person change? No, you're the same person. What happened was that the leverage changed your belief. And what changed? Your belief changed, and it changed in an absolute second. It went from I can't do it to I have to do it. You went from maybe I could do it or I probably couldn't do it to I absolutely must do it no matter what. There's no other options. And this is the problem, is that with most people, they live on maybes.

Maybe.

Maybe I could change my life. Maybe I could go out and make $100,000 this year. Maybe I could find the husband or wife of my dreams, or maybe I could live happy for the rest of my life. These are all maybes. And you gotta cut the crap out. You can't live in maybe land. You have to live in absolute certainty. So once again, all belief is, is something that you are absolutely 100% certain of. And if it's not a must for you, then you'll look at something and say, I don't know if I could do it. If it's not a must for you, you'll look around and say, I don't know if I could do that. I don't know what I could do to get to a million dollars in 12 months. These are just examples. If it's a must for you, an absolute must. You'll say, I'll figure out a way. I don't give a crap what comes up in the next 12 months. I don't care if I lose both of my legs. I will burn the ships. And there are no other options. I have to do this. There's no other options. And it becomes an absolute must. So I went from a, hey, I'd like to, or maybe I could do this where you're living in no man's land to there is no other options. I have to absolutely do this. And that's the thing, is that it's just a change in your perception. It's a change in your mindset. Just like Roger Bannister. If you don't know about Roger Bannister. I think it was 1952. Before 1952, everyone thought it was impossible. It was physically impossible for a human to run a four minute mile. To run under four minutes for a mile. They thought your heart would explode. They thought that the human body was physically incapable of doing it. And Roger Bannister in 1952 went under three minutes or under four minutes. Just under four minutes. And what happened was within the next two years, 37 more people broke the record of under a four minute mile. Now what happened? Did people just change overnight? Did they change physically? Did they become more able to? No. What changed was their belief. Because at that point in time went from, we can't do it. There's probably not a chance to, hey, this guy just did it. It's an absolute. I'm absolutely certain that it's possible. And then these other people did it. So before Roger Bannister could have done it, what he had to do though, is he had to change his beliefs and know that he could do it. He had to become absolutely certain that he could do it so that his body would follow through with that. Now here's the deal. Everyone listening right now. You have some type of belief on what your true potential is. You have a belief on what you can do, what your potential is. And it's built by the story that you've been telling yourself your whole life. So when I talk about the past two episodes, last one's Fear and the one before that, was your story, what you're gonna notice is all of these episodes for the next week or so are gonna start building on top of each other and they're all gonna start making more sense. You have to listen to them consecutively. But the thing what I'm saying though is that your belief of what Your true potential is, is built by the story that you've been telling yourself your whole life. What you think of yourself, what your fears are and what your story is, is the house that you're gonna live in and that's gonna create the life that you have. That belief then affects how much action you will take towards your dreams. We all know how much action you take will then completely 100% affect your results. And if you take more action, you will get better results. The best action and the biggest action that you could possibly take will almost always equal the best results that you could get. But if your beliefs limit how much action you take, then your results in your life will be the connection your results in your life will be the connection between your beliefs and how much you believe in yourself. So let me explain how this works. Think of your beliefs, and your beliefs go directly into how much action you take. How much you believe in yourself will be directly correlated with how much action you will take. If you don't believe much in yourself, you won't take huge action. And that action will be directly correlated with how much your results, how great your results are going to be. So if you don't believe in yourself very much, you won't put a whole lot of action into it and you won't get great results. And then those great results are going to feed back into your beliefs and you're going to go, well, I don't believe that much myself. I'll try it. I guess I could try it. Maybe it'll work out. And you take little action and you get crappy results, and then your crappy results feedback into your belief and go, oh, well, see, yeah, I was right. I'm not capable of doing that. I'm not that good at this. There's people that are better than me at this. But if you change your beliefs and you take absolutely, you're 100% certain that you're going to do something, you leave zero other options. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A. If you say, I'm 100% sure, I am positive I will make a million dollars this year because I have to or else everyone that I know dies. Well, then what will happen is you will take massive action. And we all know that the more action you take, the better results you're gonna get. So if you take, your beliefs are great. Your beliefs are a must. You have to absolutely do it. There are no Plan Bs. You have to make it happen. You'll take absolute massive action. And that action will turn into absolutely great results. But here's the deal. Those results will now feed back into the belief. So if you go through it and you have absolutely great results, well then your great results are going to build you up and make your beliefs even stronger. And the thing about this is it's a self fulfilling prophecy more than anything else. Now if you don't believe in yourself, it's a vicious circle. If you don't believe in yourself or your potential, then you won't take enough action and then you'll get crappy results and then you'll say, oh, I know I couldn't do it. It's that vicious circle that will never change. How much you believe in yourself is the direct connection with to the exactly what your results are going to be because it deals directly with your action. At the beginning of the year, we tend to think more about our habits and reflect on things we do every day.

dial so here's the deal. If you have to put yourself, you do have to put yourself into a state of absolute certainty. Like when you have that gun to your head and everyone you're close to, lives depend on it. And you create no other options of failing. There's no options. You burn the ships and you say, I will find a way no matter what. If there isn't a way, I will create that damn way because I know that I have to get this done. You create absolute certainty. So the thing about it is, if you want to do something, you can't screw around with it. You can't toy around the idea. You can't just mess around with it. You have to cut off all possibilities of failing and know that when you do fail, you don't see it as a failure. You see it as a learning process. And you keep going. And don't let that be your failure. You tell yourself, I will keep going. I will find a way to do X, whatever X is for you. And if there's no way, then I will make a way. And you leave no other options. You can't have a plan B because it distracts from plan A. When you're certain of something, you take massive action. And when you take massive action, you get great results. And those great results, well then Build up your belief in yourself, which is going to help the circle go around and around, because we all know that beliefs turn into your actions, your actions turn into results, and your results will then build on your belief. So you build up that circle. When you get into this and you believe in yourself, it makes you even better. This is the reason why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Because the poor people see, oh, yeah, my results weren't that good. And then what happens? It goes to you into beliefs, and then you actually lower your beliefs of yourself. When you get great results because you put in massive action, you build yourself up and you continue to believe in yourself more and more. So you might say, okay, this is great, I love this, this is good. But how do I change my belief in myself? That's what I really want to know. Here's how you do it. If the results are what build into your belief, then you have to create the results in your head before you actually have those results. You and only you create the life and the things that you want in your life and how you want to feel in your head before you actually get them. If you've heard of any successful person, they always say, oh, yeah, no, I saw this in my dreams. I saw this. I was absolutely certain that one day I would have this. They created the results in their head before they ever got the success that they actually wanted. You have to create the results in your head to then build up your belief and give yourself absolute massive action to get those results. You create the life you want to live in your head before you ever actually get it. You create the life you want. You create the person you want to marry. You create the happiness that you want to feel inside the house. You want the cars, you want the money you want in your bank account. And you don't do it once. You don't just think, oh, this is a house that I probably want. This is the house. This is a life I want. Blah, blah, blah. You don't do it once. It has to become repeated over and over and over again. It has to literally become one thing. And that's an absolute obsession. You have to make it an obsession. You have to think it, you have to see it, you have to hear it, you have to smell it. You have to become so obsessed with your future that you will create that future. There's no other options. And you create the absolute certainty. So what are you doing? You're creating absolute certainty. And we all know, like I said at the beginning, your beliefs are just something that you're certain of. So when you create the absolute certainty that you will create it, there are no other options. You're creating that belief. And what you're doing is you're conditioning yourself into being successful. Because here's the deal. You're either right now conditioning yourself to be successful or you're conditioning yourself to be a failure. There are no other options. So think about it. What have you been doing lately to condition yourself? You either condition yourself into being successful or you're conditioning yourself to be a failure. So in order to absolutely believe in yourself, you have to find what you want. You have to be completely clear on what you want. Not guesses, not maybe I like to make this much or something around this much. It has to be absolutely certain. You need to know to the exact dollar amount how much money you want to make, or the person that you want to marry, or the qualities that you want them to have, or the house you want to have, or the happiness that you want to fill. You have to be absolutely certain of these things. So that's the first thing. You need to create the results in your head and do it over and over and over and over and over and over again. And you do it multiple times a day. And you just convince yourself that this stuff is going to happen. You create the certainty and that will in turn change your belief system. Because you either have a belief system or you have something else that starts with bs and you probably know what that is. So that is what I'm gonna leave you with today. If you like this episode, please share it with a friend. I know there's a lot of people that really probably need to hear this and if you know somebody, please share it with them. And once again, don't Forget, go to mwfmotivation.com and download the ebook if you have not yet done so, because that will enter you into the drawing for 45 minute coaching strategy session with me.

Now you need to go believe in yourself. And I hope that you have an amazing day.
