Where you are in life, what you have, and what you believe; is mainly a result of your past thoughts, decisions, and actions. You have complete control over your thoughts and decisions. So where you will be in the future, will be a result of the decisions you're making today.
So how do we make the right decisions? .. Logic and reason, right?
But most of our decisions are made with out applying logic and reason. We make decisions on the fly. Note you're making thousands of decisions everyday - What you're going to wear, what you say, what you do, what you eat. Most of our decisions are made from our belief systems. So the thing you can do today and everyday, to help yourself, is to address and question the utility of your belief systems.
Some common belief systems could be: I'm not good in math. I'm not smart. I'm not lucky. Money is evil.
We all have many belief systems. The question is, which belief systems are empowering you, and which are disempowering you?
If my goal is to have lots of money, you can see how a belief that 'money is evil' would disempower me. This belief system will either slow or block my attempts to make lots of money.
Money can be used as an instrument of good or evil, but money by itself is just paper.
How do we form our belief systems? Most of them you formed when you were just kids. When your minds were young, impressionable, and believed everything you were told. They came from your friends, family, teachers, and yourself.
I can imagine a large number of people have gone through life, never really trying at a certain discipline, because they believed they weren't good at it. A boy can fail his grade two math test, then can decide to adopt the position that he's not good at math, and then his belief system creates a self fulfilling prophesy.
So the first step in making better decisions, is to question and change your belief systems.
