Belief System

BELIEF SYSTEM

Do you know what belief system is? Now few of you will relate it with religion, prayer, Bible, Bhagvad Gita, Quran and other beliefs. Partially correct. Spirituality comes under belief system. Means belief system is way more bigger and has many components including spirituality and law of attraction. So what exactly belief system is?


Is your belief system strong? Is it correct? Is it in the right direction? There are many questions when thinking about belief system.

What exactly is belief system?
Beliefs are the main part of an individual's life. It's actually an ideology with which an individual grows up. Your behavior is determined by your belief system. Belief system strongly influences what you do and what you achieve.

According to some people belief systems are either political or religious.

• Political 

A political belief system is created by the opinion of an individual  about the government, economic conditions or various factors.

• Religion

A religious belief system is connected with the individuals heart and soul. He/she may do anything for this belief.


But here I am not talking about these belief systems. There is one belief system which is greater than all. It's the belief system which has the strongest influence on decision making.

During our childhood we all have heard from our parents not to do this or that. Be careful, you may hurt your selves and many other things. That's the beginning of belief system which we shouldn't develop. We start building up fear.

Let me give you few examples.

A baby elephant is tied to chain which keeps him fixed. Even after his long efforts and struggle he is not able to free himself from the chain.

Now, when the elephant grows up he is tied to a rope. The elephant thinks that it's impossible for him to break the chain or rope. But he doesn't know that it's an easy task for him due to his huge size.
See, this is elephants belief system that he cannot break the rope. It started with the elephant at an early age and is know fully grown.

Even doctors sometimes use this belief systems. Consider a patient "A" is suffering from a disease. The doctor gives him a medicine saying that it's a foreign brand. You would be cured in 2 days. And yes, the person is cured. Was that really a genuine medicine for the disease? No, not at all. It was just a sweet tablet. Its known as placebo effect which helped the patient. The patient got cured because of his belief system as he knew that the medicine will cure him.

Note: Placebo effect is the benifecial result produced by placebo drug or treatment. A placebo is something which seems to be real but isn't.


Don't let these belief systems hold you back or hold you down. Don't have wrong belief systems.

• In many rural parts of India people are seen walking on fire or burning coal. Seriously! It's there belief system. They think that by torturing themselves or by doing this god may bless them. No that's a wrong belief. No need to do this.

• There are terrorists who believe that by killing innocents they would go to heaven or god will bless them. No never! This is the worst belief system one can think of.

See belief systems can make someone to do anything without any cause let it be wrong or right. So the right belief system is in our hands.
Mahatma Gandhiji, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, etc had the strongest and productive belief systems.

They all set an example by doing outstanding works in their fields.

• Do you guys know about Arunima Sinha. She is the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest. One of her leg had to be amputated below the knee due to an accident. 
• It was due to her strong belief system and determination which made climbing Mt. Everest possible. She has been awarded with Padma Shri for her success on Republic Day.   

Aren't these right examples for having a strong and right beliefs.

So how to get strong and valuable beliefs.

• Don't get pressurized by society.
• Be disciplined and responsible.
• Now your rights.
• Do not worry when you are facing different situations in your life. Thats the time when wrong beliefs may develop. Keep a good control
• Always be cheerful. Never feel lost or confused.
• Check whether your system is holding you back from progressing. If yes then expose yourself to a different environment.
• Reconstruction of mindset is important for improvement.
• Read books reltated to mindset.

• Be open minded and welcome opportunities.

So start working on your beliefs and live a life happily. Become mentally strong not strongly mental.
