I notice your "belief".

Ironcally ones belief can change in an instant. Out of sheer frustration we move toward anger and often express a belief that 'it can't be done' and due to the emotion attached to that belief it does indeed become a a fact in that persons life. The belief that one is being mistreated moves some people into the role of a victim others become fighters. Some beliefs limit us others empower us. The problem is most of our beliefs act out in our life without our noticing them. If we notice them we can change them in an instant.

You only need to look though your own past history to notice how much your own beliefs have changed. As children our parents were always right, as teenagers our parents are totally wrong and as adults we learn it's all ad lib (we make it up as we go).

Many of our beliefs change without our noticing and there are some we notice that limit us. The often conflict with other beliefs we hold. Noicing this we can choose to deliberately change our belief. Using paraliminals, tools taught in books self exploration and even in talking it over with others. Our everyday interaction changes our beliefs without our noticing the change.

A belief is just something we hold true, see as a fact and there are times when we see that our belief may not be 100% correct - that is often when we first notice our belief on a certain subject. Then we can choose to explore or ignore; change, modify or keep our belief.

Every day that we seek to learn and explore our world we are seeking to change some of our limiting beliefs about ourselves and our world. We know that some of things we believe is simply due the lack of information and have even suspended out belief until we find out what we consider true. Seekers of knowledge are always looking for a "better belief" to serve them.

In order to changes ones belief one must 'know' what they believe in the first place.
