Kick start Self Improvement by getting rid of “Old School” beliefs

If you are not achieving maximum success in your self improvement efforts, you may be an unknowing victim of your own antiquated belief systems.

Each of us has beliefs that we perceive to be the way that things are done in the world. These beliefs power our lifestyle, and if those beliefs are incorrect, then no amount of action that we take will ensure our success.

• If we want to lose weight, then we think that proper diet and exercise is the answer
• If we want to attain business, career, or financial success, then we think that working harder and conforming is the key to doing so
• If we want to have wonderful relationships, then we think that finding Mr. or Mrs. Right will instantly transport us into the land of perpetual romantic bliss

Each of those antiquated reasoning processes, and any similar lines of thinking, are so far off base that it is no wonder that so many people are not finding the success that they want in their lives!

The key to success in any area of your life has always started inside of yourself, and the key to maintaining that success will continue to be your internal responsibility, regardless of the external circumstances.

Will things like diet and exercise be a part of your health and weight loss goals? Absolutely. However, you can starve yourself and workout around the clock, but if you don’t fix the REASON why you are overweight to begin with, no amount of the standard fitness fare is going to help you.

Will financial or business success depend upon you taking action in order to create wealth? Sure it will. If you don’t fix the inside issues first, however, you could win the lottery and your internal poverty meter will eventually drag you back down again.

Would finding a fulfilling relationship be easier if there were a lot of quality relationship prospects available? Most definitely. However, you need to believe that you are worthy of a great relationship first, or no amount of prospective suitors is going to change your relationship status over the long-term.

One of my most popular recent posts was entitled ‘How to Help Yourself and Everyone Else at the Same Time’. It discusses how you can manage your own beliefs in such a way as to affect your surroundings and positively charge your circumstances for your own benefit.

That post was recently featured in Edition 72 of the Carnival of Healing. Swing by there to check it out and read over some of the other empowering content while you are there.

In addition, I have personally gained a large amount of my present perspective on how to attain success by following the wisdom of many of the teachers who were featured in the movie ‘The Secret’.

One of them, James Arthur Ray, was recently interviewed by Steve Pavlina, and you can check out a transcript of that interview over at Steve’s site.

Bob Proctor is another teacher whose wisdom is immeasurable by any standards that I have ever been exposed to. Even though he is successful beyond what most people can even imagine, he is still out there in the trenches every single day helping other people. Any of his teachings are highly recommended.

If business success is your goal, then you would do well to start listening to an on-going series of free teleseminars that are hosted by John Assaraf and his partner.

John, Bob, and James were all in ‘The Secret’, they were all on Larry King Live, and James was also recently on the very empowering edition of the Oprah Winfrey show that discussed ‘The Secret’ and the Law of Attraction.

I highly recommend the works of any of those teachers, but I want to finish out this post by putting forth the disclaimer that you do not NEED anyone’s products or services.

The power to change your life is inside of you right now at this very moment. If you want positive change, then activate the power within yourself by focusing constantly on the things that you want, and taking action to achieve your dreams when you are inspired to do so.

That is the Law of Attraction in action, but YOU are the catalyst for everything. Your success has always started with - and will end with - yourself.
