00:00Beliefs are the pre-established, organized filters of our perception of the world.
00:19Beliefs are like the governors of the brain.
00:23If we consistently judge something to be true, it is as if we are transmitting an order to the brain about how what is happening should be represented.
00:37John Stuart Mill wrote,
00:39A person who has faith possesses more strength than 99 others who only have self-interest.
00:48That is precisely why faith opens the doors to excellence.
00:55A belief communicates a direct command to the nervous system.
01:00When one believes that something is true, one literally puts oneself in a state as if it were.
01:06Used appropriately, beliefs can be the most powerful force for doing good in life.
01:17Conversely, beliefs that limit our actions and thoughts can be devastating and negative.
01:25Throughout history, our church has inspired millions of people and given them the strength to do things they never thought possible.
01:37Faith helps us to obtain from God, who lives in our hearts, the deepest resources and to direct them in a favorable way towards the desired goal.
01:50Beliefs are the compass and maps that guide us towards our goals and inspire confidence that we will be able to achieve them.
02:01Without them or the hope of building them, human beings end up feeling completely helpless, like boats without a motor or rudder.
02:13In contrast, with firm beliefs to guide one, one feels capable of taking action and shaping the world in which one wishes to live.
02:23Faith helps one see what one is looking for and gives one the energy to obtain it.
02:31In reality, no other guiding force of human behavior is as powerful.
02:39Do you remember what our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us?
02:43If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could move mountains.
02:49It shows us the strength and power of faith.
02:54Our Lord came to change our belief system.
02:59If we are Christians, we are invited to listen to, practice, and live the teachings of our Lord.
03:09If we wish to model excellence, we must learn to model the beliefs of our Lord Jesus in our lives.
03:19The more we learn about human behavior, the more we appreciate the extraordinary power of beliefs in our lives.
03:32In many ways, that power challenges the logical models that many of us have.
03:38But it is evident that beliefs, consistent internal representations, control reality, even at the physiological level.
03:51In a comment, beliefs are not necessarily based on a logical system of ideas.
03:57In fact, they are notoriously resistant to logic.
04:04Its function is not to coincide with reality, since you don't really know what is real.
04:13You need to form a belief.
04:15It's a matter of faith.
04:18It is very important to keep this in mind when working on limiting beliefs.
04:22Abraham Maslow tells an anecdote that illustrates this point well.
04:31A psychiatrist was treating a man who believed he was a corpse.
04:37Despite all the psychiatrist's logical arguments, the man persisted in his belief.
04:42Finally, in a flash of inspiration, the psychiatrist asked him,
04:48Can corpses bleed?
04:51The patient responded,
04:53That's absurd.
04:55Corpses do not bleed.
04:57After asking his permission, the psychiatrist pricked his finger with a needle.
05:01and extracted a drop of red blood.
05:05The patient stared at the finger, completely astonished.
05:08And at last he exclaimed,
05:11So now it turns out that corpses bleed?
05:15It's a humorous story,
05:17But sometimes it is true when a person suffers from a life-threatening illness.
05:22The belief is, I am already a corpse, I am already dead,
05:27and no treatment will help.
05:30The smartest thing you can do is stop fighting the inevitable.
05:34It is a difficult belief, because in the current state of our knowledge,
05:40Nobody can guarantee whether he will get better or not.
05:45A woman conducted a study on 100 cancer survivors,
05:51hoping to find out what they had in common.
05:55And the most interesting thing was that he failed to find any common pattern.
06:01in the treatment followed by each of those people.
06:06The survivors had received all kinds of different treatments.
06:12However, they had one thing in common.
06:17All the survivors believed that the treatment method
06:22that they were following, was going to work in their case.
06:27It was the belief, not the treatment, that made the difference.
06:34Here we see what we know as the placebo effect.
06:39The people who are advised to take the drugs
06:43will have certain effects,
06:46many times they experience these effects
06:49even if they are given a pill devoid of any active properties.
06:55Norman Cousin, who learned from direct experience
06:59He concludes that faith healing power...
07:02Drugs are not always necessary.
07:06Faith in healing always is.
07:10If you are able to believe in triumph,
07:15You have come a long way to achieve it.
07:17For example, if you believe in failure,
07:21Those messages will undoubtedly lead him to such an experience.
07:26Let's remember that we are right,
07:29whether we say we can do it,
07:31as if we say we can't.
07:34Both convictions have great power.
07:38The question lies in knowing what kind of beliefs
07:44which ones we should host and how to develop them.
07:49The birth of excellence begins when we realize
07:54that our beliefs are a choice.
07:58We don't usually realize it,
08:01But it is a fact that a belief can be consciously chosen.
08:08as we have already explained.
08:11We can choose the ones that limit us or the ones that stimulate us.
08:16The key is choosing those beliefs that lead us to success.
08:23and to the results we desire,
08:27while leaving aside those that might divert or hinder us.
08:32The most serious mistake people usually make regarding faith
08:39It is to believe that it is a static intellectual concept,
08:45of an attitude divorced from action and results.
08:50Nothing could be further from the truth.
08:53Faith is the gateway to excellence.
08:57precisely because it has nothing unreal or static about it.
09:00Our faith determines our ability to unleash our potential.
09:10A belief can either uncover or obscure the discourse of ideas.
09:16Let's imagine the following situation.
09:20Someone tells you,
09:21Bring me the salt and go to the other room.
09:26at the same time as you say, but I don't know where it is.
09:28After searching for it for a few minutes, he exclaims, I can't find it.
09:35Then the other person comes and takes the salt,
09:39which was right on the shelf,
09:42two feet from where we had searched,
09:44And he tells us, how absentminded you are.
09:48If it were a snake, it would have bitten you by now.
09:51When the person who was looking for the salt, upon going to get it, said,
09:57But if I don't know, at this moment his brain was sent the order not to see the salt.
10:04In psychology, this is called scotomizing.
10:08It must be remembered that all human experiences,
10:12everything he has seen, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted,
10:17They are stored in the brain.
10:20If someone consistently says they cannot remember something,
10:24We are right.
10:25If one consistently says that one can,
10:28then we transmit an order to the nervous system
10:31that opens the way to that part of the brain
10:35that may contain the answers one needs.
10:39Virgil, who is a thinker, says,
10:45It's possible because they believe they can.
10:48So, once again,
10:51What are beliefs?
10:54They are preformed and preorganized approaches to perception
10:59that filter our communication with ourselves in a coherent way.
11:05Where do they come from?
11:07Why do certain individuals have beliefs that drive them toward success?
11:12while others hold beliefs that only contribute to failure?
11:17If we intend to model the beliefs that leaders promote,
11:23First and foremost, we need to know where they come from.
11:26and have the ability to eliminate them
11:29and replace them with the ones that are convenient for me to have.
11:32That's what I call having the ability to reprogram my beliefs
11:38as our Lord Jesus Christ invites us.
11:42If they had faith the size of a mustard seed,
11:46They will do great things.
11:49Remember the importance of beliefs in our lives.
11:53They have become part of you as you have grown,
11:57with your education, with family upbringing, lived experiences.
12:03This information is what governs us in our daily lives.
12:08The leader must have the ability to reprogram himself.
12:13That is, to eliminate from their belief system
12:16those that might be preventing progress towards the desired goal.
12:21If you are able to identify that belief that is holding you back,
12:28It's important that you realize that this belief is your truth.
12:32no one else's.
12:34Therefore, the decision to let go of it and free yourself from it depends only on you.
12:41In the next session,
12:43We will look at some beliefs that are useful to have in a leader
12:46to enhance their abilities and pursue their dreams.
12:52Until next time.
12:53God bless you.
12:54Thank you!
12:55Thank you!
12:56Thank you!
12:57Thank you!
12:58Thank you!
12:59Thank you!
13:00Thank you!
