Yesterday's Beliefs

There has been research that points to the fact that people take in information based on how they perceive the world. Your brain creates an “auto-pilot” version of how it thinks the world should work, and sometimes you keep using it even when it’s no longer true or helpful. It also affects what you believe about yourself. These beliefs have the power to push you in certain directions that you might not have wanted to go in. You can approach it like a software development project and draw a tree diagram with yes and nos as to what is working. Just because it was true in the past, doesn’t mean it’s true today. And just because you learned something one way doesn’t mean you learned it the best way. Don’t let yesterday’s beliefs dictate the story that you live out today. This requires the sometimes uncomfortable act of taking a look at what you believe and if it works today. Some people might say that faith is something that does not change. It is absolutely necessary to look at yourself through a mirror and ask these questions to be able to survive. The world is constantly changing and the fittest will survive.
