power of beliefs

          
            “The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.”- (James Allen)
                     Our belief becomes our destiny. Because our thoughts, words and actions- everything come from our beliefs. Not only our self-belief, some social, cultural, ideological and religious beliefs also affect our life.  
                     Repeated thoughts, words and actions construct our beliefs. All mantras, rituals of any religion are repeatable things, why? Repeated things make a belief. If you make a belief, then everything is done by the belief.
                   There are two types of beliefs. One is limiting belief and another is stretching belief. Limiting belief makes reality of the person. But stretching belief creates possibility of the person. For example if you believe as “I was born in a poor family. So I became a poor man.", this belief makes the reality of poverty. This is a limiting belief. But if you belief as “I was born in a poor family, but I will be a millionaire", this belief inspires to work to become a millionaire. Here poor is a reality, but millionaire is a possibility. It is a stretching belief. But when you become a millionaire, the above said stretching belief becomes a limiting belief. That time if you believe as- “I am a millionaire, but I will be a multi-millionaire", this will be stretching belief. Shortly limiting belief leads to living in reality, stretching belief leads to stretching to possibility.
                  Great life is a progressive movement from reality to possibility. Most of the people are playing in the reality. Playing in reality is a method of surrendering with the surrounding or situation. But moving towards possibility is act of challenging their surrounding or situations. Moving beyond reality is a very courageous act.
                  Observe the children; normally they always try to break the boundaries of reality. For example 10 months old child does not know to walk (that is their reality), but they are always trying to walk (that is a progressive step towards possibility). So every child in every action, he or she challenges the reality and moves towards possibility, because every child born with stretching beliefs. But most of the parents or elders repeatedly pollute the child as- "living in reality is a method of living in peace". This is a very big blunder. In my opinion this peace is a deadly one. We should not live as breathing dead bodies. Living in reality is a method of non-taking risk. Stretching promotes taking risk. Actually limiting belief is escapism from life. So the limiting belief is a sin in life and stretching belief is the soul of life.
