How Your Beliefs Affect Your Paradigm

Most people think of beliefs as something static and inherent. In other words, “This is what I believe, and I believe that for life. It’s who I am.” In the political context, people say, “I’m liberal or I’m conservative.” In terms of their personality, they’ll say, “I’m mild-mannered” or “I’m a type A person.” “I believe men are good at X, and women are good at Y.”

That’s the way most people are, but it’s not the way they should be, because our beliefs shape everything in our life. Our paradigm is made up of our beliefs. Unfortunately, many of the beliefs that we operate with are absolutely ridiculous. They have no foundation at all. In the light of truth, they would just disappear. Furthermore, we did not originate most of these silly beliefs.

Belief is a very interesting word. It played a big role in my life. I was trying to figure out why I was winning. I couldn’t get anybody to answer me, to really tell me why. I knew that there were only two sources of reference: science and theology. I got into the various religions. I read the Qur’an, the Torah, the Bible, the Book of Mormon. It didn’t matter where I went; everywhere it said, you’ve got to believe. William James at Harvard, way back in 1900, said, “Believe, and your belief will create the fact.” But I wondered, “How do you believe it?”

I didn’t know the answer to that. How do you change your belief? Why do I believe what I believe? One thing led to another. This went on for a few years. I could not figure it out and I couldn’t get anybody to answer it.
