WEBVTT - Belief Is Magnetic: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>So much of our life begins invisibly. A seed is

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>still a seed before it becomes a flower. A prayer

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>is still a prayer before it becomes an answer, and

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>a dream is still a dream before it becomes your reality.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Maybe belief is the part of us that knows how

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to see life before it has even finished becoming. Welcome

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to you a Really Good Cry Podcast. A Really Good

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Cry is here to help you understand your body, feel

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>confident in your skin, manage your emotions, and take back

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>control of your help. Because growth doesn't always start with answers,

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it starts with a really good cry. Hey, everyone,

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to this week's episode of A Really Good Cry.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 1>I hope that you've had such a wonderful week. You know.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been looking at my for you page lately and

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>it has been filled with quotes. It's something that I've

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>been trying to curate because I realized that I get

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>the most from reading them, and some of the other

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>things that used to be on my for you page

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 1>we're not necessarily helping me. And so now my whole

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for you page is all these beautiful quotes, you know,

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>just ones that make me think, make my heart happy,

0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>make me laugh. And one of the things that I

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>read was one line. It was really simple, but it's

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>basically sparked the thought for this entire episode, and it

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>is that belief is magnetic. And it really made me think,

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like we hear things like that and

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>immediately we can put them into this category of manifestation

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>or just positive thinking. But the more I thought about it,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the more I realized that belief isn't magnetic because the

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>universe is randomly rewarding your thoughts. Belief is magnetic because

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.639
<v Speaker 1>what you believe literally changes how you move through the world.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Believing in the magic of life is honestly what has

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>got me through the difficult times Delusionally, believing in myself

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>is what pushed me to do the things I never

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>thought that I would do. But we're amazing and I

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>am so happy in my life that I did them.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>And so I kept asking myself, like, what is life

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>without believing in a little bit of magic beyond our

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>own vision? I feel like we need that. Sometimes. Belief

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>is honestly what carries you through the unknown moments, and

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact is you can actually start choosing the thoughts

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that support the life that you want, you can actually

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>choose the thoughts that support the beliefs that you want

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to have. You have the power to do that, And

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>so telling yourself simple things like you can do hard things,

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I can do hard things, I can do hard things

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>whenever hard things come into your life, and reminding yourself

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that you are capable, even at the times your initial

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>thought is that you actually are not. The more you believe,

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the more that you can actually begin to align your

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>actions with that belief. It's like the more you tell

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.399
<v Speaker 1>yourself something, the more you're going to believe it right.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>And so the more thoughts that you can have based

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>on the belief that you are trying to create, the

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>easier it will be to lean into that belief and

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>to start creating things around you that actually represent that

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>belief and that can support it. And I think that's

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the part where someone's forget belief isn't just a nice thought.

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>It becomes the way that you speak to yourself when

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>things get hard. It becomes the way that you walk

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>into a room. It becomes the way that you try

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>again after something didn't work. It becomes a way that

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you hold yourself through the unknown moments. What is life

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>if we only allow ourselves to trust what is already proven,

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>already obvious, and already say. So much of what is

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>beautiful in our lives begins invisibly. A seed doesn't look

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>like a flower at first. A dream doesn't look like

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>reality at first. A prayer doesn't always look like an

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>answer at first. So sometimes the beginning of something miraculous

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>looks like nothing is happening at all. And that is

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>where belief matters so much. Your belief can carry you

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>through everything, even when the outcome isn't clear, even when

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the path has not fully formed, when your mind is

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to convince you that you cannot. In those moments,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you actually have this power to choose a thought that

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>supports the life that you want instead of the one

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that shrinks you away from it. And the thing is,

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>when you're telling yourself I can do hard things. I

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>can do hard things over and over again, it's not

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that the hard thing suddenly becomes easier. Actually, what happens

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is you stop meeting the hard thing as someone who

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>has already decided that they are incapable. Instead of going

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>into it with defeat, you're going into it with this

0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and this idea that this could be possible shifts

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>completely the way that you are even interacting with that moment.

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>A belief isn't just something that you think once. It's

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a thought that you've repeated enough times that your body

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>starts to treat it as truth. It becomes more of

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>an instruction. It starts telling you what to attempt, what

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>to avoid, what feels safe, what feels absolutely impossible, what

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of love you think you deserve, how visible you

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>allow yourself to be, and how much of your life

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you feel brave enough to claim. So, belief is a

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>thought that actually has become a rule in your life.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And this is why we have to be so careful

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>with the beliefs that we keep repeating, Because if you

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>believe you are always rejected, your mind will scan for rejection.

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>If you believe you are behind, your mind will keep

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>collecting evidence that everyone else is ahead. If you believe

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that things will never work out for you, even the

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>small openings might go unnoticed because your mind has already

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>decided what the story is. And once you decide what

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>the story is, you're looking for evidence and the information

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 1>to show that that story is the truth. When you

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>begin to believe you are capable, You just move differently.

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>When you begin to believe that life can support you,

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>you notice all these little small openings or little signs

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>instead of only the obstacles. When you begin to believe

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 1>that you're worthy of something better, you stop tolerating the

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>things that constantly make you feel small and look Belief

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>does not guarantee the outcome. It's not a magical spell

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing. But it changes whether you even enter

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the room. It changes whether you send that email. It

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>changes whether you ask the question or speak up, or

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>begin again, or stay consistent, or walk away or soften

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.239
<v Speaker 1>or try that one more time. Two people can literally

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>be given the same opportunity, and the one who believes

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ready will move completely different to the one

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>who believes I can absolutely figure this out. The opportunity

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>may be the same, but the belief creates a completely

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>different version of the person meeting it. And honestly, doubt

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>works in exactly the same way. Doubt is also magnetic.

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Doubt pulls you into hesitation. It makes you delay, It

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>makes you overthink, It makes you ask for ten more

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>signs when really you already know what the next step is.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It can make you confuse your fear with intuition. Of course,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>doubt isn't always bad. Sometimes dou is information. Sometimes it

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>asks us to pause and prepare and refine the plan

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>or check out what our motives are. But doubt becomes

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>really dangerous when it becomes part of your identity, when

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it becomes the place that you live from, or the

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>voice that you trust more than hope. And that is

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>where I think we have to understand the difference between force,

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>positivity and chosen belief. Chosen belief is not pretending that

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>everything is perfect. It's not denying your pain or acting

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like fear doesn't exist. Chosen belief is saying I don't

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>know exactly how this will work out, but I am

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 1>so willing to keep moving forward. It's saying I don't

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>have proof yet, but I refuse to abandon myself. It's

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>saying I can feel scared and still act. I can

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>feel uncertain and still feel guided. I can have failed

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>before and still be worthy of trying again. So belief

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is not certainty, but belief is this commitment that you

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have in the absence of certainty. So if you want

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to begin shifting your beliefs, you can't just repeat affirmations

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that your body doesn't believe yet. You actual have to

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>start by becoming curious about the beliefs that are already

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>running your life. You have to ask yourself, what do

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe about money, about love, about my body, about success,

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>about my ability to change, about this ability to be seen,

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>about being worthy? Whatever those thoughts are that are repeating

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>in your mind, whatever those insecurities are, try and notice

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and observe what are those beliefs I've created around those things.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not just about naming the belief. It's really about

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>seeing whatever behavior is attached to it and how you

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>move through the world because of it. So if the

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>belief is, for example, I'm not disciplined, maybe the behavior

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is that you quick quickly, you avoid structure, you stop

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>trusting yourself. So the new belief doesn't have to be

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm the most disciplint person in the whole entire world.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>That will probably feel really far away and maybe feel

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>too scary to even get to. But the belief could

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>be I can build trust with myself through small promises,

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and then every day you keep one tiny promise, and

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that is how belief becomes real. It becomes your evidence

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>that you need, because the fact is your mind has

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>spent years collecting evidence for this old belief, and so

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>now you consciously have to collect evidence for the new one.

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>So every time you keep that promise, every time you

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>speak up, every time you recover faster, every time you

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>choose differently, it becomes part of this new belief that

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you are creating. And the thing that's really magical about

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>believing is that it really doesn't cost us anything, but

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the absence of it can literally cost us so much.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>It can cost us years of waiting and shrinking and

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>hesitating and calling ourselves realistic and really we're just scared

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of hoping again. I've really noticed in my life that

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>belief and believing in things that I cannot see yet

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>is one of the softest forms of courage that I've

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>had in my life. It doesn't ask anything from you

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>except that you keep just that little crack in the

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>doorway open inside of your heart, the idea that maybe

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>life can still surprise me. Maybe my vision isn't able

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>or capable of seeing what there is to offer. And

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's something really sacred in this surrender

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of choosing to believe before the evidence comes, Because usually

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>we wait for evidence and then we end up believing.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>But there's something to the surrender or the belief in

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>something before you get to see the result, before the applause,

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 1>before the thing has formed fully in front of you,

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and the feeling you get when the outcome does happen,

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>The depth of that happiness, the depth of that excitement,

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the depth of the joy that you feel from having

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>believed in it before you've even seen it. It's just

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>completely different. I've experienced it in my life. It's so

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it feels so much more beautiful, it feels so much

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.119
<v Speaker 1>more meaningful because so much of our life begins invisibly.

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>A seed is still a seed before it becomes a flower,

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a prayer is still a prayer before it becomes an answer,

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and a dream is still a dream before it becomes

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>your reality. And so maybe belief is the part of

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>us that knows how to see life before it has

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>even finished becoming. And also, why would we choose not

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to believe, not in a naive way, but in a

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>way that lets us stay open, in a way that

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>keeps us from closing our hearts just because something hasn't

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>happened yet. Disbelief actually just makes us smaller. You can

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>either choose to limit yourself based on being a pessimist

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and based on choosing to believe only what you see

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>in front of you, or you can choose to be

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>optimist and believe that things are possible beyond your own expectations.

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>And I honestly have found in my life having lived

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>as both versions of those that the second believing in

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>magic and believing in the possibilities of the world, you

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>wander through life with a better perspective. You end up

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing the world differently. And yeah, it can hurt sometimes

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.079
<v Speaker 1>when you believe in things don't happen, but I think

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of not believing is far worse than the

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>feeling of believing and it not happening. And I think

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>having hope and belief is the anything that really keeps

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 1>us going in life. And people might say, oh, but

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to be realistic, But what if having believe

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is part of reality. The fact is we end up

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 1>receiving whatever we're putting out in the world. That's a fact.

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>If you end up going out there with a bad attitude, yeah,

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>you'll probably receive someone with a bad attitude because you're

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>invite that into your life. And so the mere belief

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that what we are or what we think is what

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>will become into our life, the mere understanding that who

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we are, what we believe, and what we put out

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>into the world is what we will receive back. Just

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 1>by knowing that it should change the way that we

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>are moving through the world. And so I really hope

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that this encourages you to believe in the magic of

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>life a little bit more and to give yourself the

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>belief that you deserve the grandness of the life that

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you deserve and know that whatever you believe is what

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you get to create. And that's kind of exciting because

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>then you realize what you have to work on is

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>in the external world. It isn't trying to control and

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>navigate parts of your life that you actually have no

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>control over. It's putting in that focus and that work

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 1>into how can I change the way that I am

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>viewing the world? Because that you can control, those thoughts

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>are things that you actually can impact. And so I

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>hope that this episode was a little reminder of that,

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to believe in a bit of magic your life and

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the magic of things that are unseen, unheard and without evidence,

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.439
<v Speaker 1>And for myself Honestly, I think creating new beliefs or

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>believing in more has just come with this simple mindset shift.

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.439
<v Speaker 1>As soon as I feel resistance in my life. So

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>as soon as I notice resistance in my mind of

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not smart enough to do this, or I really

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think I can make it through this, it's having

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that thought. That's fine, observing that thought, and then shifting

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it to what do I want to say to myself

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>in this moment to make it through? And so I'll

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>shift it to no, you are smart enough, you can

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>handle this. You can do hard things. This is possible.

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>And so it's almost letting that negative thought come to you,

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>letting that restriction come to you, but then thinking, Okay,

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>if I was to expand myself and if I was

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to create an expansive thought or sentence around this, what

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>would it look like? And then repeating that after. It

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that those thoughts are going to go away,

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 1>but you can observe them and you can correct them,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's really where it all starts. So I'm going

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to leave you with this little thought. Believe not because

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>life has given you proof, but because your heart deserves

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhere beautiful to walk towards. Why would you not believe

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>in a world where seed becomes forests, wound become wisdom,

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and mornings keep arriving after the longest nights. Why would

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you not give your own life the same chance to

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>surprise you. Belief is this bridge between what your eyes

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>can see and what your soul already knows. And somewhere

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 1>between fear and faith there is this tiny door, and

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>belief is what opens it.
