Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " The Power of Your Beliefs "

What does the sugar pill have in common with potential? Plenty, I think.

A placebo, sometimes called a sugar pill, is a substance sometimes given to

people who are sick, in pharmaceutical research studies, to compare against

the " real " medication. It has no medicinal qualities at all, but quite

often people who are given placebos get better anyway. This is powerful

testimony to the strength of beliefs and expectations.

People are healed of illnesses because they strongly believe they are being

healed. It is not just in medicine that the power of expectations is

apparent. School children perform up to the expectations of their parents

and teachers, or down to them. Employees perform up to the expectations of

their employers, and elected officials perform according to the expectations

of their constituents. Most important of all, you perform up or down to what

you expect of yourself.

As Henry Ford said, " If you think you can, you will. If you think you

can't, you won't. " It is that simple. Beliefs are that powerful.

Fortunately, as adults we have the ability to choose our beliefs and to

reject the ones that stand in our way or that curtail our performance.

What do you believe to be true about yourself? Try making a list and

marking the ones that are holding you back. Why keep them if they don't do

you any good? Put positive, helpful beliefs in their place. You can do it.
