No Hope No Change - Part 3

In my last post "No Hope No Change - Part 2", I outlined what it would take to move from a place of "no hope" to one of "hope". The first step that was outlined was the need to re-evaluate the core belief system, which as I stated, led to current behavior.

The term "core belief" can be googled to find many definitions of the term. I won't belabor the point. However I'll just say that most people who feel hopeless is doing so from a position of negativity, which stems mostly from what they believe about themselves.

What you believe about yourself has a lot to do with what you think about yourself. What you think about yourself has a lot to do with how you behave. How you behave has a lot to do with what your future will become.

One of the questions we must tackle is this, "what do you believe about yourself?" Do you believe that you are worth much? Do you believe that you have what it takes to make it in life? Do you believe that you can make a difference in this world? These are crucial questions that must be answered.

If most of your answer is no, then there is a strong possibility that you are operating from a negative core-belief system.

This leads to the next question and that is, "when did you start believing such negative thoughts?" As far as you can think back, what made you begin to believe those thoughts? Where did those thoughts originate? Who told you those things whatever "those things" are?

Before you or I can move from a point of hopelessness to hope and then to change, these are some of the most important questions that must be answered.

How are you doing so far?

Okay, we will take this break now, and continue this conversation in my next blog. Stay tuned.

I would love to hear from you on this topic.
