Want to achieve your goal? Align your Beliefs

You have goals in your life. You see your growth when the path of your travel is in perfect alignment to your goals. Sometimes, it is possible that the path of your journey is not in perfect alignment to your goals. The cause for this divergence is due to the core beliefs from which you experience your life.

First of all, understand that your thinking is based on your core beliefs. When an event occurs, different people experience and think in different ways. We think in certain way because of the beliefs we hold within. Not all our thoughts are good and so as our belief system also. Those beliefs which do not serve good and not allowing us to grow in reaching towards our goals need to be dropped out sensibly.

Our beliefs determine two things: Our emotions or the moods of the present moment & the actions that determine our future. For example,” I can’t do this work because I am not capable of doing this work’. The above statement is a case, where I am in a situation where I should do that work but I know that I definitely fail if I take up the task as I lack the competence to do it. This sets up a bad mood within me and since I know that I fail because of my capacity, I won’t take any action. Since I have not taken any action, I won’t develop further and hence my life remains the same.

Our beliefs have established a set of values within us. That is our value system. There is no such thing called right or wrong values. For example, we may have beliefs like

Work hard to earn more money. Here the value is ‘Hard work’.

Always be kind to others. The value is ‘Kindness’.

Don’t be lenient. People take advantage of me. The value is not to become lenient.

 Which of the above values are correct? Hard work or kindness or ‘not to be lenient’? We cannot give a definitive answer. But, here is the magic formula.

Magic formula: If we establish our beliefs whose values are centered with the Laws/principles of Nature then we can have a better successful life and better control of our life experiences. Laws are just laws. Those laws of nature are fixed. For example, the law of gravity is fixed and we can’t change the law. All that one can do at his best is simply to align with the laws.

Here are some examples of values based on the laws of Nature.

1.       The returns come from an action are based on the level of our attachment to that action. This is based on the law of returns.

2.       Self power – Law of abundance

3.       Contribution to others – Law of returns

4.       Gratitude – Law of Harmony

5.       Change – Law of impermanence

6.       Organization – Law of order.

So, establish the beliefs whose values are in alignment with the laws/principles of nature which setup two things: your present moment moods and the actions which determine your future. I guarantee you that it is not just your path which is in alignment with your goals but you will also have a more enjoyable and successful life.
