You Won't Believe These Beliefs!

Hi,

Recently I began looking for quotes that show the power of belief.

What I found surprised me.

While I prefer to focus on the positive, these show just how powerful beliefs can be. (I’ll be posting more of these on Twitter so be sure you are following me there. And of course, I’ll follow you back. Just click here to add me.)

Here’s a few of what I found.

“Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” (Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895)

“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” (Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943)

“There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.” (Ken Olsen, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977)

“The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” (Western Union internal memo, 1876)

“Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.” (Marshal Ferdinand Foch, French commander of Allied forces during the closing months of World War I, 1918)

From a persuasion standpoint, you can clearly see the problem you’d have if you needed persuade any of these people. Their beliefs would clearly need to be addressed. But it goes beyond merely addressing them. This effects their entire world view. And if others had bought into their positions, where would we be today?

But the bigger lesson here is the realization that beliefs (including values) really do run our lives. They shape what we see and what we don’t see. They enable us to be rich and successful or poor and limited.

The great thing is that WE HAVE CHOICE.

Examine what you believe about why you are where you are today. Examine why you do or do not have the money you want. And examine why you are creating the life of your dreams or are manifesting the excuses as to why you don’t have it. It’s your choice – choose well.

Now, tell me your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you. And while you’re at it, share this post on Twitter, if you would.

Hello and thanks for connecting with me. I truly believe in manifestation and I am using it on a daily basis now. I did not always have such a firm belief but, for about 6 months now, I have been using it daily, starting with thanking my Creator (for some it is the Universe – or other) for those things that I am manifesting, putting emphasis on the I AM, thanking in the present tense for what I manifest to have. It is so powerful. I have also ordered Justin Blake’s Manifestation CDs (Alpha and Theta Sessions) and will spend part of this Saturday afternoon on these CDs.
I am going to review your material and will comment on them after I have done so.
Again, thank you for connecting. I hope to learn from you. Happy Weekend!

Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another drink 🙂
