CONCLUSION TO KEY QUESTIONs EXERCISE
Once you are able to unearth the belief that blocks you from being what you really want and need, you will have to work on it. The first step is to acknowledge that at some point in your life, you decided to believe this. You thought that this belief would prevent you from suffering the same pain over and over. The next step is to ask yourself if you still need to believe this in order to be happy. If you answer yes, you’ve determined that your belief is still of use to you—by all means continue to believe it and behave as you always have. But don’t expect any change in your life as you are the architect of your own life, the choice is yours. Just know that by refusing to go towards what you want in life, your life will remain the same.
If you’ve determined that your belief is still partly true but that it makes you unhappy, determine whether or not it has diminished in strength in the last couple of years. If it has, it will be easier to let go of. By doing so, you will be on the road to recovery.
When you know deep inside that you want to change this belief, all that remains is to take steps to achieve your desires in order to let yourself to BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE.
