Introduction

What your beliefs are and the way you think are the two defining factors that
will determine whether or not you will be successful in your endeavors. These
two defining factors are what is known as a mindset. A mindset is universally
defined as a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you
will interpret and respond to situations. Two examples of individuals having
incredible mindsets are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods has a mindset and a core belief that every golf ball that he hits will
go in and every tournament that he plays in he will be victorious. All of his golf
shots don’t go in and he doesn’t win every tournament but is there any wonder
why at the age of 33 he won 92 golf championships? It has to do with his
mindset. Michael Jordan is known as the best basketball player that has ever
lived but did you know that he was cut from his high school basketball team as
sophomore because at 5’9” he was deemed to underdeveloped?

Of course that did not deter him. He practiced even harder. He grew 6’6” tall and
within the next two years became a high school All American. He went on to
establish a distinguished career which included hitting the last shot to win the
NCAA college basketball championship, winning 6 NBA titles, 5 MVPs and a
slew of other accomplishments. Why was he such a winner? Why did he
dominate? Simply because of his mindset. He believed that he was a winner so
he won. He believed that he was destined to dominate so he dominated.

So let me ask you what is your mindset when it comes to setting and achieving
your goals? Do you have super goals or mediocre ones? Are your planning and
skill set that you need to achieve your goals sufficient or insufficient? Do you
pursue your goals with clarity, vigor and passion or are you unsure of your
direction and are guilty of giving a half hearted attempt? Whatever your case
may be there is always room for improvement. For example, if you are a
commission based salesperson and you are making 10-20 sales per month and
that results in you making a “decent” living instead of being content with that
develop the mindset and take the action necessary to do 50,100, 300 or more
sales per month. It can be done. In fact, no matter what your goals are you can
achieve anything that you want.

Remember it is all about your belief system and the way that you program
yourself to think. If you think that you can and act on that belief chances are you
will accomplish your goals if you execute. If you are not thinking “Big” in this
way at the present moment chances are you have self-limiting beliefs that are
standing in your way and interfering with you achieving success. Self-limiting
beliefs affect the total outcome in all areas of entire your life because it has to do
with your core beliefs which triggers the way you think and ultimately the way
you act.

So how do you overcome and eradicate your self-limiting beliefs and achieve
anything that you want? In this book How to Overcome Your Self Limiting
Beliefs & Achieve Anything You Want I show you exactly how. So take your
time when you read it so that you can fully absorb and understand the concepts
as well as the solutions.
Part 1: Background to Self-Limiting Beliefs
Why you need to have great beliefs in order to be great.

The first part of this book will consist of an explanation of how our minds work
and where beliefs come from. In the second part you will be shown exercises to
help you get rid of your self-limiting beliefs forever and how to install more
productive and empowering beliefs.

The idea that it is the thoughts that we have that shape our reality is becoming
more and more popular in mainstream western culture. Through films like the
Matrix and the Secret and through disciplines such as Hypnosis and Neuro-
Linguistic-Programming people are becoming more and more aware that their
psychology is for a very large part responsible for the results in their lives.

Although some people will dismiss a lot of these ideas as new-age pseudo-
science the fact of the matter is that mainstream science and psychology are
finally catching up to the fact that the mind is a very powerful tool. One which
can aid us or inhibit us in many ways. You only need to look at how successful
sports people such as Tiger Woods employ positive thinking and visualization to
such good effect for evidence of this.

In fact you can ask any successful person and they will say that positive thoughts
and beliefs are a huge component of their success. It is always the ‘realists’
(more negative people) that don’t believe in the power of having great beliefs,
and their results in life are the worse for it. Although this book won’t go into
great scientific detail be assured that none of the ideas or exercises presented
here were randomly plucked out of thin air. They were modelled from the
thinking patterns of successful people.

The mind and body are intimately linked. Every thought you have is reflected in
how you hold your body, the tone of your voice, the color of your cheeks, even
the subtle dilation of your pupils. Humans primarily still communicate through
body-language and voice-tone (the actual words that we speak are less important
than we think) and these subtle things we communicate to others determines how
people treat us, what expectations they have of us, how open and honest they
will be with us and whether they will like or dislike us.

Our social relations are one of the most important things in determining success
in our life and so having the right beliefs and attitudes will determine if you get
that date, promotion or pay rise. Besides these social repercussions you will
literally see more opportunities and be more productive if you have the right
mindset. How this all works will be explained in the following sections.
The inner and outer world
Everything that you see, hear, touch and feel outside of you in the outer world is
raw data for your senses. It is not yet information or knowledge and before it has
been processed by your mind it needs to be ascribed a meaning. The unique
meaning that each person gives to the raw data will determine their emotions,
behavior and their results in the world.

The five senses absorb millions of bits of information per second over the course
of an average day. To filter through this otherwise overwhelming amount of data
we have evolved something called the Reticular Activating System. The R.A.S.
is important for maintaining our state of consciousness and is located at the core
of the brain stem between the myelencephalon and mesencephalon.

One of the functions of the R.A.S. is to filter through all the data that we receive
through our senses. It has to quickly decide which data to bring to our conscious
mind and which to leave up to our unconscious to process or ignore. In order to
understand what is going on in the world around them, a person has to take all
the data they receive and create an internal representation of that data, pictures,
sensations, sounds, feelings, emotions and the things that you say to yourself in
your mind.

In this way the data that a person receives from the outer world becomes an
internal experience. How this interpretation is formed is dependent on several
factors including, how you feel (otherwise known as your emotional state) in
your mind and body.

Thus the external data is run through an internal processing system consisting of
the R.A.S. and psychological internal filters that create an individual’s subjective
reality. We will discuss these psychological filters in more depth later but for
now it is sufficient to know that our internal filters direct our R.A.S. to sort for
specific kinds of information in a way that is consistent with those internal filters
(values, beliefs and concept of our identity and reality). In this way you can see
that this is a self-reinforcing process. For example, a woman that believes that all
men are useless will focus on all the negative traits in men and forget all the
positive things and a man who believes all women are manipulative will only
