The Law of Attraction stated simply is “what we think about we bring about.” However, it should be accurately stated as “what we believe to be true is what we bring about.” One of my favorite quotes is the famous line spoken by Napoleon Hill in Think & Grow Rich: “What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”

If we do not truly believe something to be true, regardless of what we say on the surface, we won’t bring it into reality. What we will create will be a reflection of what our true belief really is.

When our mind believes that something is true, our mind sets in motion any and all events to make that belief our reality. Whatever beliefs, thoughts, and ideas that your mind becomes familiar with, or is conditioned to, must become a part of you and that is who you become.

But how do we get our minds to conceive, believe, and ultimately achieve the things we want? The mind is like having our own personal living computer - it just tosses out results based on the instructions we give it. Most of your beliefs are formed during your childhood years, yet they continue to impact your reality TODAY.

So much of what you believe you are not even conscious of and simply accept as ‘the way life is.’ Yet the ‘way life is’ is a direct PRODUCT of these beliefs. When we want different results, we must give our minds new instructions to follow. Some call it self-suggestion, others call it auto-suggestion, others call it subliminal messaging, but I like the term reframing.

Reframing is when you continuously introduce new ideas and thoughts into your mind until they become a dominant belief. The amount of time it takes to reframe new beliefs into your mind will depend on how consistently you introduce new thoughts versus the amount of time you spend thinking about your current beliefs.

Imagine a cup of dirty water (your current beliefs). If you begin to add clean water (new thoughts) to the cup, eventually you will end up with a cup of clean water (new beliefs). How long it takes depends on the amount of beliefs you have in your mind that need to be reframed. Replacing a cup of dirty water takes less time than replacing something the size of a bathtub, or a swimming pool.

Beliefs are really nothing more than thoughts - ideas that we think are true. The truth is that beliefs are not facts - they are only thoughts. Sure, they may look like facts because our outer world has been arranged to match our beliefs.

We can choose to think and believe whatever we want.

The more we think a new thought, the more it becomes a belief. Once these new beliefs have become a part of our subconscious, then our world must change to match our new beliefs.

Alexander Graham Bell knew that if he held the concept of the telephone in his mind, the ideas, people and resources to make it a reality would come to him. Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, knew that if she held a vision of perfect eyesight in her mind that her subconscious mind would make that a reality. And it took only 3 days!

I know that if you make the choice to have a new belief, your world will change to make that a reality.
