“There is a graphic going around which states, ‘No amount of belief makes something a fact.’ This is both an accurate and an inaccurate statement. There are few ‘objective facts’. Then, there are the ‘facts’, used as evidence, which are debated or argued over.
What facts ‘show’ or what facts ‘mean’ is different for different people interpreting the ‘facts’. Objective reality, while it may exist, doesn’t exist independent of our subjective reality while we are alive and conscious. Objective and subjective reality ends at death.
When the individual is no more there is neither objective or subjective reality for that individual. Yes, some will argue, ‘wait, the sun and stars and earth and people; all else remains.’ Yes, for the conscious alive beings. Prior to humans, there was no ‘objective’.
Change The Belief First – Then Changing The Action Is Easy
Humans determine what something is or isn’t. We subjectively view ‘the objective’. We claim there is such a thing as ‘objective’. Only humans can ‘have’ objective facts independent of themselves. Consciousness determines it. Do trees or animals have ‘facts’?
We receive ‘facts’ or information through our filters; our maps, our values, our beliefs, our conditioning and mental programming. Consider: WHO were you prior to people teaching you to talk, eat read and write? Who were you the instant you were born? Who?
From that moment you adopted others perceptions and paradigms. You borrowed your knowledge and filtered it through your experiences. What you believe is mostly something you learned or came to believe.
You even believe in ‘facts’. What is a ‘fact’?
If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t – You Are Right
Get this? A belief doesn’t make it an ‘objective fact’ but many people, maybe most people, act on it as if it is. It isn’t, but we think it is. What we think, doesn’t make it so! It is just what we think. Most of us think we are right, no matter what. Yet, there’s the opposite! Check it out!
Belief is powerful. It’s also underrated because it is misunderstood. People think ‘religious’ belief when they hear the word, versus ‘scientific’ beliefs (which some assume are facts). Both are beliefs and belief can be an incredible ally for making things happen .
You want to believe in yourself! You want to believe you can learn to do anything (within human capacity) and you can learn to acquire the competence to do it well. You want to believe you can make a difference and make things happen. You want to be ‘at cause’!
Life Is Simple – We Complicate It With Beliefs And Opinions
If you believe you are a victim of others and circumstances you will act as if you are one. Our beliefs govern what we think is possible, or not, and how we behave. If we don’t believe something is possible, we will feel it impossible. So, we wont do anything to do something!
If we believe it is possible, and possible for us, and we believe in ourself that we can and will do it, then we will behave accordingly. So, while no amount of belief makes something a fact, realize that without belief very little would happen. We’d not accomplish much.
The Wright Brothers believed we could learn to fly. Edison believed we could light the world. Ford believed an iron horse would change transportation. Kennedy believed we could reach the moon. Jobs believed iphone would change the world. Get it? ‘Facts’ change.
You Can Have Anything You Want – Give Up The Belief You Can’t
Without belief none of the ‘outer world’ the ‘facts’ of history would exist. We create ‘facts’ by our belief. When you truly believe the ‘facts’ don’t matter. At the time people said all the things listed above were impossible. Get it? Don’t let the ‘facts’ get you down.
Believe. Become certain you can change yourself and your world. When you do you will act accordingly. While you may have challenges and obstacles along the way, if you don’t give up, you can make it happen. The Wright Brothers did. Edison, Ford, Jobs and countless others have too. Develop your belief in positive ways and you can change yourself and you can change the world. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
