Do Circumstances Create Our Beliefs?
I read this somewhere; “You don’t choose the things you believe in, they choose you.”
In many ways, that statement can be true; that our circumstances may very well choose or dictate our beliefs.
If you compare a person who has grown up with supportive parents with someone who has uncaring parents, do you suppose the two will have similar beliefs? I doubt it.
Yet, it certainly doesn’t mean that they both cannot be highly successful. Sure they can, so long as they are driven by their desire and passion to be successful.
Old limiting beliefs can be changed. The person who has unsupportive and uncaring parents can learn to take full control of and change all his beliefs.
He can develop the most empowering beliefs and be highly optimistic about a bright future, when he makes that decision to direct and focus his thoughts, his new thoughts, on what he wants to achieve in life.
He can learn to release his past obstructive beliefs, and create and develop new supportive and encouraging ones that support him in reaching all his dreams and desires.
Yes, circumstances can create our beliefs, especially when we are young and vulnerable. But we do have the power to change the negative, limiting beliefs into empowering and supportive beliefs so we may live the life that we choose to have.
