Beliefs Influence Our Level of Discipline

Written by Voss Graham on June 23, 2009. Posted in Personal Development

Beliefs influence your level of discipline. These same beliefs impact your level of execution and therefore your level of success.

Interesting how most things that are important to us begin with our own beliefs. The results of beliefs on our results can be either positive or negative. The term “self-limiting beliefs” describes the negative impact that some beliefs have on our results.

Have you ever tested your beliefs? These are the deep beliefs that influence our actions in positive ways or negative ways.

One of the easiest methods to test your belief structure is by using sentence completion methods. These can be very simple to more complex in nature, yet, the answers will allow you to become aware of your inner thoughts and feelings.

Sample sentence completion exercises include:

• I know I’m happy when…
• People are the…
• Profits can be…
• My results are impacted by…
• My results are impacted most by…
• My manager is …
• My direct reports are…
• My customers can be…

The above is just a simple list of suggestions for sentence completion exercises. You should customize the questions to fit your professional situation or your personal life. The important thing is to identify the underlining beliefs that are either helping us to achieve or hindering us in our daily performance.

There is one other method you can use to test your beliefs and I will discuss this method in tomorrow’s post. Since it could be holding the answer to breaking out of your personal cage or ceiling, you will want to come back on Wednesday for this important information.
