In some places in India, a cow is a sacred being not to be disturbed no matter where it goes, not to be harmed, certainly not to be eaten! In the USA it is just a mini-factory of milk and future hamburgers.
Breast feeding in some places is a wonderful act of motherhood and can be done in public in other places it should be done only in private,
In France women nipples are not such big deal and women may swim topless and in the USA a woman being topless is considered a public offense, sanctioned by law as indecent exposure and it is totally against the law,
Research has confirmed that a fake treatment, made from an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution, can have a "placebo effect"—which means that basically the sham medication can sometimes improve a patient's condition simply because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful.
On 1954, Roger Banister proved everyone wrong when he crashed the belief held for many years that it is absolutely impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minute. Within a year after his achievement, 37 other runners broke the belief and the following year 300 other runners did the same.
All the instances above demonstrate how powerful a belief is in human life.
In my practice, I witness all day along the results of devastating beliefs that we humans hold about ourselves. Behind the heavy curtains of the act and the attitude that most of us will adopt there is a deeper truth about how we view ourselves. And that deeper truth is based on a set of beliefs that we hold about who we are and the world we live in.
When you dig deeper as to the origin of such believes it appears that most are generalization of a past experience. Few people are aware of how devastating, are the beliefs they hold about themselves or have any knowledge on how to address the issue or even how to ask questions about it.
Beliefs can stand in the way of discovering and taping in human potential, so you better find out what beliefs you hold about yourself and examine each and every one of them under the loupe; to make sure you are not shooting yourself in the foot.
For example, do you believe you are a victim of situations or others? Do you believe you are not good in Math? Do you believe that others don’t like you? Do you believe that you are unlucky? Do you believe that life is hard and full of problems? Do you believe that you are here in order to suffer? Do you believe that others are out to get you? Do you believe that you are just the type that gets fat easily? Do you believe that it is going to be hard for you to make it?
Beliefs are powerful and they work either for you or against you. There are not right or wrong beliefs, there are only empowering or limiting beliefs.
