Believing life needs to be hard is a false, limiting belief.
This goes for your finances, your health, your fitness, relationships…
All areas of your life.
Your beliefs are formed early in your life, and you look for confirmation for those beliefs as you mature.
Our brains love comfort.
Our brains seek comfort.
So you continue to act according to your beliefs, even when those beliefs bring pain.
If you feel life MUST be hard, you must first realize that this is a false belief.
Then you must make a decision to change that belief.
Then, repeated, intentionally aware action will establish new beliefs.
But your brain will fight back.
Your brain will try to convince you to seek comfort… the familiar, hard life you once had.
You must master your brain to master your beliefs.
When you change your beliefs, you change your reality.
So in essence you create your own reality.
If you want to know if you hold a false, limiting belief… ask yourself this…
Is there one, a single person, on this planet… who this belief does not apply to?
Such as…
Exercise must be hard, and can’t be enjoyable.
Or making money is hard.
Or I can’t enjoy food to be healthy.
Or I need to work 16 hours a day to be successful.
Or working for someone else brings security.
And if there is a single person in the world in which that “rule” does not apply, then you hold a false, limiting belief.
The belief must change for your outcome to change.
Life is only as difficult as we believe it must be.
When I expected making money to be hard, it was hard.
As I loosened the expectation, it became easier.
When I made exercise miserable, it was miserable.
As I allowed myself to enjoy it, it became enjoyable.
Change your belief, change your life.
You control it all.
Don’t blame the world, blame your beliefs.
Then you’ll begin to see life change.
