Are You Using Your Power?
By: Vera A. Gonzales, Ph.D.
There is a Power inside of us that is available to us 24/7. Are you using this power? Ask yourself the following questions: Are you living the life you truly want to live? Are you on a path to achieve your life goals? Are you healthy? Are you enjoying unlimited prosperity?
If you have answered NO, to any of these questions, then you are likely not using your power. You may have bought into a blueprint that says this is how your life is supposed to be; this is all there is for me. What if there was a way to redraw the blueprint you are currently using into a blueprint for the life you truly want to have? What if there was a way to change your life into what you’ve always wanted it to be? I have struggled and have seen my clients struggle with the very questions I just asked you. I have found a way to help myself and my clients gain access to a power that has changed our lives. This power has to do with a technology I call your Power Belief System™. It is a system that will help you see difficulties in your life as opportunities for power. You have a blueprint for your life that is called a belief system. A belief system is a set of thoughts, rules, attitudes, expectations and behaviors that are imbedded in your mind. We use this structure of attitudes to make choices in our lives. Belief systems are created from our culture, modeling from people we admire, and from trial and error among other factors. Your belief system acts as a blueprint that creates attitudes and behaviors (actions) that lead us to make certain choices. Your inner attitudes (thinking) affect your outer world (behaviors) by the use of this belief system blueprint. By working with the fundamentals of the Power Belief System™ you can create change in your life and enable yourself to make choices of power and live the life you have always dreamed.
The concepts of this technology are both new and ancient in origin. The fundamentals of the Power Belief System™ describes a power and a gift that we were all born with and the different ways you can allow yourself to see and use this gift to create change in your life.
The concepts of this technology may actually challenge some of your current beliefs. Your ego may be a little bit resistant to accepting these concepts and making these changes- mine certainly was. It’s OK if this happens, just keep an open mind!
Think of your belief system as a series of cassette tapes that are always playing in your head for you to listen to on a continual basis. These tapes (belief system) can be very positive or very negative or a combination of both. I believe that the source of all of our difficulties in life stem from the quality of tapes we are playing. By quality, I mean positive or negative content. If we can change our belief system, and therefore, those tapes, then we can make some radical changes in our lives. Once we become aware of the tapes that are playing in our heads and if they are not beneficial, we can remove them and replace them with positive, proactive ones that lead us to the life we want and are meant to lead!
Who has a belief system? Everyone does, whether you know it or not. We would not be able to move or make any choices at all if we did not have belief systems.
Is a belief system conscious? It is conscious to the extent that we are aware of it. I do believe that most of the time we react to our belief system and make choices almost unconsciously. So much so that we are not really making choices at all; the choices have been hardwired by those tapes that we are playing in our heads! We don’t know why we are making certain choices in life. A lot of us go through life asleep and unaware, almost like robots. When we make choices unaware of our belief system, our life is quite limited.
Is your belief system permanent? The structure of your belief system is permanent, but the content can absolutely change. You are only "locked" into a certain belief system if you want to be! This is the force and flexibility of the Power Belief Systemä - change your belief system (thoughts, attitudes, expectations, rules, behaviors, choices) in any way you want.
Live your dreams, no one else’s!
