Beliefs — Beware the Behemoth Beneath Our Thoughts
“Beliefs are the hidden scripts that run our lives.”
– Marie Forleo, “Everything is Figureoutable”
I have been meaning to write this particular blog for months.
But timing, as they say, is everything. Because it wasn’t until very recently that I personally & powerfully experienced this truth: our beliefs are the hidden scripts running our lives.
When something in our lives isn’t working out quite the way we’d hoped, it can be a very useful exercise to take a good look at what underlying belief we might be holding on to (often for dear life).
What story, belief, idea, hope, or assumption might be so deeply rooted in our psyche that we may not even be consciously aware of it anymore? But just because we aren’t aware of a belief doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Or maybe we are aware of it — but we allow it to remain where it is…like a faded, familiar & favourite old t-shirt at the bottom of our drawer? We know we should throw it out…but what’s the rush?
