EMPOWERMENT TIP: Belief without Evidences

This Empowerment tip describes how we must alter our level of expectations in order to experience change or growth. In changing our expectancy level, we must believe in our selves and our dreams and have faith to persevere. People who must have evidences or concrete feedback before they will take a risk find it very difficult to grow, change, and utilize their full potential. Human beings behave not according to the truth; they behave according to the truth, as they perceive it to be. That is determined by cultural trends.

Cultural trends are opinions that are commonly accepted as the truth. For example, in Columbus’ day, the common belief was that the earth was flat...His problem was not that he believed the earth was round; his problem was convincing other people to believe. If you were a banker in Columbus’s day would lend him the money? If Columbus would ask you to go sailing around the world, would you have gone?


Your Challenge, and my challenge, is to get other people to believe that they can do more. This is how you can empower yourself.

1. To belief without evidences, you must set the goal first.
2. You must know what is a value to you first before the information gets through.


The information does not come to you unless you decide what it is that you want and is a value to you. This is the reason why we set the goal first. In the back of your, brain there is filter it has the shape of and apple this filter blocks out information that is not important to you. i.e. If a mother is sound asleep there are all kind of noises but if her baby cries she is up. This filter only allows information that it is of value or threat.

You set the goal first, them the information comes through. You have to decide what you are looking for. What kind of clients you are looking for, what kind job, what kind of car. The ingredient that high performance people have is that they believe without evidence. Everyone wants the evidence first, before they will believe. However, it does not work that way.

Another word for belief without evidence is faith. You set your goal based in what you want, not what you have. You must change your expectations in order to grow, become, and change. Problems cannot be solved at the same level, of awareness that created them.
