Your Name

Most of us have a name that serve as an identity for us but a name also have other uses. Our name can be our brand or even a positive label for ourselves.

Most of the time people are being labeled by others either positively or negatively. A label can either help you or work against you depending on how you look at it.

If you are being labeled as dumb and lazy by others and you start to believe it and act it out, this will be a case where labels work against you. But if others are labeling you as someone smart and intelligent and you start to believe and try your best to maintain that label, the labeling is working in your favor instead.

Do You Know The Meaning Of Your Name?

Our name has meanings in it and we can use it as our positive label. Have you ever check out on the internet to find out the meaning of your name? If not, it is a good time to do it now. Take a minute and find out the meaning of your name over here.

So have you got the meaning of your name?

For example; My name is Vincent and its meaning is prevailing. I checked out the meaning in the dictionary and the definition I got is, “to succeed; become dominant; win out: to wish that the right side might prevail.”

Now I am equipped with this new positive label that I can use whenever I need some motivation. Whenever I am facing any tough times, I will remind myself of my name and the positive label which is I will always prevail in the end. This positive label definitely keeps me going.

Parting Words

Always remember that labels can either help you or work against you. If people are giving you negative labels, you can choose to ignore it as labels do not make you. You make your own positive labels and believe in it.

After acquiring your new positive label, remember to use it when it is appropriate. Whenever you are facing any difficult times, remember the power of your name and use its meaning to help you get past your difficulties.

This is the second part of “How Changing Your Beliefs Can Bring Your Success”. If you have not read the previous post, you can read it here.

Part 2

4. Past Results – There are things in life that you will see it as difficult or easy. If you are an experienced writer, you will say writing a book is easy and it can be done with effort or if you are an experienced plumber you will say that fixing a tap is child play.

Why do they see what they are doing as easy while it can be difficult for others? It is because they have done it before and they have the beliefs that they can do it again. Whenever you succeed at doing something, you will find that it is easier to do it the second time because you have the belief that can do it again due to your past success.

Why do so many millionaires say that making the first million is the hardest and after making their first million they still continue to churn out even more millions with ease? It is because they have the belief that they can do it again because they had done it before.

Before the birth of this blog, I have so many doubts in my mind that suspect my ability to set up a blog and have a significant amount of traffic to the site. My belief at that time was I do not have the technical skills to do it and I have zero ideas about setting up a website. I hesitated for some time and finally decided to just jump in and learn the ropes of setting up a website and blogging. Here I am with my blog and sharing personal development information with you guys. Am I confident about setting up a new blog now? Yes I do! I have now created a new belief that I am capable of setting up a self hosted blog due to the action I took and the results that I had achieved.

If you do not have past results that help to support your belief, you can roll up your sleeves and start to create them now. If you want to write a book then start writing a chapter a day. After you know you can write a chapter and you know that you are capable of doing it all over again then gradually after months of writing, you will get a book! This can be applied in any areas that you want results in. If you had achieved results and you believe that it can be done, over time it will just become a self fulfilling prophecy.

5. Creating the experience you want in the future as if it were here now – Whenever physical environment does not suggest the beliefs that you want, you can create an internal representation of what you desire in your mind to help you shape up your beliefs. Visualizing that you had already achieved your desired outcome will help you to create a new belief that you can do it. Visualizing desired outcomes will also help you to be more excited about achieve the goal.

If you are currently earning $1000 per month currently, which situation will cause you to feel more passionate and enthusiastic about waking up?

A. I am going to earn $1000 this month!

B. I am going to earn $10,000 this month!

The answer is obviously B!

Summarizing

We have the power to change our quality of life. If you are not happy about where you are today, you can make the choice and effort to change it. Changing your beliefs is the first step to success as where we are today is largely due to our beliefs. Let me give you an example.

A student was told that he is a bad student. If he believe that he is a failure as a student, do you think that he will try his best to excel in his studies? Probably not. He had already signed up for failure and in his mind he will be thinking why bother to work hard when he knew that he was going to fail in his studies?

What if he believe that he is an exceptional student? Will he wake up excited and passionate about his studies knowing that he can grab all those distinctions and merits. Will he tap into his inner resources and use it to the fullest potential to achieve his goals? Will he still take half hearted steps? I believe this time round, he will be excited and passionate to be able to achieve excellence in his studies.

In order to tap into our deep inner resources, we need to believe that we can achieve our desired results. This in turn will unlock our inner resources (it is powerful beyond what we can imagine) to achieve our desired results.

You may be asking, even if you had changed your beliefs into empowering one, does that mean that you are bound to be successful at all times? Probably not, there will definitely be failures along the way but if you maintain your empowering beliefs and keep on taking action, success will be found eventually.

Success breed success and keep the momentum going and having empowering beliefs is the first step towards success.

So what are your negative beliefs? List 5 of them down and replace the 5 negative beliefs with empowering beliefs today to see positive results in your life.

Cheers,

Vincent
