“If you don’t believe it yourself, no one will think it.”
I’ve signed up for programs, hired coaches, and listened to self-help stuff. All were useless for me.”
Hey, I’ve been there, I get it. But there’s a reason those things didn’t work for you, and I bet no one’s revealed it to you yet. So of course none of your efforts would’ve worked out very effectively. You were missing a key piece of the puzzle.
And since only you control your thoughts, your beliefs are 100% yours to control. It’s your mind you have the final say on what happens in there.
Does each of your thoughts have a negative charge, or positive? Sometimes it takes real effort to figure it out. Remember, each thought is an ‘engine-car’. The thing is, the car isn’t always marked clearly. Sometimes we can’t tell whether it’s a ‘reverse-engine’ or a ‘forward-engine’ at first.
Let’s say you have a belief on [topic X]. If you don’t figure out your thoughts charge, you may get a belief with 5 engines set to forward, but also 5 set to backward. This causes you to go nowhere. It ensures you make zero progress on that topic in your life.
And worse, it ‘electrocutes’ you. You’ll end up feeling fried and damaged on [Topic X]. That’s what happens when your belief’s loaded with conflicting charges. Your life will get pretty messed up on [Topic X].
As a kid you were great at separating positively-charged thoughts from negatively-charged ones, and it’s time to shake the rust off that ability.
But there’s another factor that’s vital to know. And I’ll be mixing metaphors a bit to explain it, so bear with me.
Thoughts don’t exist in a vacuum. They exist in your mind with millions of other thoughts. And as soon as you activate one of those thoughts, well…
There are consequences.
There are consequences to every thought we think. If we think a negative thought, we attract more, and create pain in our lives. If we think a positive thought, we attract more, and create joy in our lives.
No one taught you that every thought you think does something. No matter what you believe, one fact never changes. You still get f**ked by negative thoughts, and blessed by positive ones. Choose wisely.
Because there’s only ‘two’ types of experiences in life. Pleasure, and pain. And any thought you choose, either gets you closer to pleasure, or closer to pain.
Negative thoughts cause self-sabotage, lead to bad beliefs, and inspire ineffective action. Positive thoughts cause self-support, lead to good beliefs, and inspire effective action.
As a kid you knew this. So you made sure you were a bundle of joy to be around. Because whether you were falling down, speaking improperly, or spilling food… it was all handled with positive thoughts & attitude.
And since you were such a joy to be around, people kept showering you with food, clothing, toys, etc. Karma. Life. And your beliefs did all the work.
But as you became a ‘less-happy’ teen, you stopped moderating your thoughts. Which meant you began attracting more pain, pressure, and obligation. It’s a universal law. Every thought you have is a magnetic engine-car, set to forward, or set to reverse.
Hopefully this helps you understand how thoughts grow into beliefs. Point is, our thoughts aren’t just engine-cars… they’re magnetic engine-cars. And as soon as you think one, it ‘magnetizes’ similar engine-cars to it. Fast. So a few innocent thoughts quickly creates a ‘negative’ (or ‘positive’) belief on key areas of our lives.
Something as simple as “I believe growth is hard” can quickly attract a lot of other painful thoughts. “Growth is easy”, on the other hand, rapidly gathers joyful thoughts.

“And what are mood-volts,” you ask? Well, they’re another made-up measurement, but they’re still very important.
Like ‘thoughts-per-hour’, ‘mood-volts’ are a term of convenience. I invented it to describe the energy-level behind a thought or a belief. It helps get the point across, even if I have no science backing it. And you can feel the value of ‘mood-volts’ with your own experience.
Think about it.
You know that you ‘think’ some ideas with more energy than others, and you don’t need anyone to prove it to you.
You know you can tell somebody “I love you” and have zero energy behind it. You’re just saying it half-heartedly and going through the motions. Barely any mood-volts.
But you also know you could be a mute. You may never say the words “I love you”, but your heart is full of love. You’ve devoted your life to your partner. There’s so much energy, emotion, and appreciation in all you do for them, it blares ‘love’. And any partner on the receiving end of all that would be able to tell. Even if it was just a single gesture or moment, people can feel the vibe. Thousands of mood-volts.
Both examples are the same thought. Basically, “I love you”. But the latter has way more positive energy behind it. And where does this power for our thoughts come from? Our emotions.
We can give a bit of juice to our thoughts with slight emotion. We can also juice-up a thought into the stratosphere by adding intense emotion.
If we feel strongly about a negatively-charged thought, we’ll rapidly create a negative result. If we feel strongly about a positively-charged thought, we’ll rapidly create a positive result.
Your emotions provide the mood-voltage to your beliefs.
Your beliefs about abundance, prosperity, and value are all related --but individual-- tracks here.
This track is vital, because it prevents or helps your progress on all other tracks.
Your beliefs about finding solutions had best be positive or you're in trouble.
Under-confidence is a big problem for most people. Fix your beliefs on this track.
This track decides how smoothly and quickly you make progress.
Inconsistency is a killer. Elevate your beliefs in this area & life will sky-rocket.
It’s not your fault if these beliefs are out of wack. It was the responsibility of authority figures to teach you better.
It wasn’t intentional. They were just doing the best they knew how. But they did steer you wrong. Because no one taught them belief-control either. And as you spent time around them, you absorbed their weak beliefs through osmosis. Most of humanity is caught-up in a cycle of beliefs that don’t serve us.
But you’re ready to break the cycle. You can make sure bad beliefs stop with you, if you’re committed to improving yours.
Be the change.
1. By stopping your thoughts.
2. By switching to a 'safer' topic.
3. By thinking 'better' thoughts.
The main reason people avoid belief-control, even if they know it’s a door to their dreams…
(We’re a giant bundle of “What can I do? How do I do it? I want to do something about my problems!”)
Our action-obsession causes us to seek anything but meditation, sleep, and intentional thought. And it’s too bad, because tip one is all about it.
Meditation & sleep are easy, reliable, near-instant ways to stop spirals of negative thought. Giving our minds a break from thinking 50,000+ daily thoughts is a great way to stop any bad-belief momentum.
As a kid you napped a lot. Some people will tell you it’s because you ‘needed it’ or you were ‘growing’, and that’s true. But there’s a root reason behind all of that.
You had lots of energy when surrounded by good vibes. You were energized when doing what you love. But as soon as obstacles foiled you or your mood turned dark, your natural instinct was to sleep and reset. Because kids know that negative thoughts is no way to grow. Their #1 priority is to adjust.
But, if you absolutely refuse to meditate or sleep, you can try more ‘active’ ways of shifting beliefs… just know that it’s trickier.
This is the easiest ‘active’ method of controlling your thoughts. But it’s not very effective. If you have negative beliefs on money for instance, you can switch topics. Focus on winning in a game, or focus on your creativity in art. You can choose some ‘safer’ topic where your beliefs are stable. This has a ‘splash effect’. Keep thoughts positive on other topics, and they’ll gradually spread & influence money beliefs. It’s a long game. If you want something active *and* effective, you’ll have to…
Think better thoughts about the same topic that’s causing you distress. We’ve seen this already in Cyn’s example. We saw her intentionally, consciously shift her beliefs on ‘fast change.’
And, like riding a bike or dribbling a basketball, these skills take lot of practice early on. They also take a reasonable level of maintenance afterwards.
1. Think something that feels better.
2. Do something that feels better.
3. Sleep.
There’s as many ways of managing your mood as there are people on the planet. And they equate to thinking/doing something happier, or resetting your emotional compass. (Sleeping!)
All that matters is that you take responsibility for your mood, and improve it.
The neurons in your mind and cells in your body can’t perform well when flooded with ‘stress’ chemicals. But your mind and body will do life-changingly inspiring things for you if you amp up your mood and get in the zone.
And no one can ‘make’ you feel something, even if it sometimes seems that way. Fact is, you and only you, control your emotions. And they’re easy to change. Use music, dance, rest, walks, whatever! You just have to apply yourself. Find mood-elevating thoughts & actions that work for you.
Since negative thoughts add momentum to bad beliefs… you’re making your job a lot harder with every second you delay. You’re letting your bad beliefs speed you away from your dream life. It happens with every bad thought that passes.
I know you can achieve everything you want. And I’d love to help you. But this can only happen if you make a decision here, now, to take better control of your beliefs. Or you can be like everyone else, and let it get harder and harder.
Ah, fair question. Allow me to introduce myself.
And not just my own! Hundreds of clients have turned to me for help with their beliefs, and as I helped them, I noticed a common theme. Most people resist improving beliefs that don’t serve them.
Why? Because if they abandon them, they’ll feel like a ‘fish out of water.’ I mean, it’s really no big deal. Elevate your beliefs, become a bird and start soaring. What holds people back is they know they’ll have to leave all the other fish —their friends and family— behind.
Most people are un-confident in their own power. They rely on external supporters so much, that they don’t realize they’re fighting to stay underwater. Most people cling to old beliefs out of fear. Fear of change. Fear of the unknown. Fear of ego-death. Fear of ‘actual’ death.
You’re meant to achieve your dreams. Get all the things. Be as rich, healthy, and loved as you want. You’re meant to make an impact. And you were born with all you need to realize your desires.
And if thousands of beliefs to ‘fix’ seems overwhelming, scary, or off-putting, don’t worry. It’s actually a good thing. Because it’s not hard work. It’s easy and fun. Ultimately…
Every time you handle a belief well, you get ‘rewarded’ with more of your dreams. No one wants this ‘game’ to end, because it’d mean our dreams end. It’d be boring and lifeless. Instead, celebrate that you have a fun game full of thousands of levels. Get psyched to see your score increase. Control your beliefs and watch life blossom around you in the juiciest of ways.
It only sucks when we refuse to improve at the game. Or if we rant and rave and mumble and moan, while other players zoom by.
So please, do as you did when you were young. Master your beliefs. You have thousands of beliefs guiding your actions and creating your results. Don’t let them go unattended. Start paying more attention. Catch them. Adjust them. Elevate them.
If you look around at the average person —maybe even your friends and family— these are all people with poor belief-control. The people who have mastered their beliefs are the legends we all look up to.
Practice improving your beliefs obsessively. Do it and you’ll join the ranks of the world’s elite. It’s a universal law, undeniable and rock-solid. Leveraging it is the single most valuable life-lesson a person can get it. Sadly, it’s taught infrequently & improperly by our society.
Hopefully this post helps nudge you (and others) to re-claim your own belief-mastery.
I see your potential. I know you have amazing dreams inside you, waiting to be realized. I know you're valuable and have a lot to contribute to the world. By helping you tap into your power, I'm helping a fellow creator succeed on greater levels. And you know what that means? It means I get a better world to live in.
Maybe you create the next Amazon, Apple, Nike, or Google. Or maybe you just create a lil Mom & Pop shop down the street.
But either way, the world is a far better place with you adding to it, and I feel damn good about myself if I helped play a role.
I love understanding, clarity, and empowering people to rise up. And I believe karma will bring that back to me in many ways.
