Practicing Radical Belief
Today is December 14th, and I am at the half way point in my 28 day transformation experiment.
I’ve already learned a lot.
I am breaking down this process into ten distinct, easily followed directives. Each directive alone will lead to vast improvement. And once you put them all together, you will be a transformation machine!
Each day for ten days (beginning December 1st) I have concentrated on one distinct directive. Then, for the past few days, I’ve been letting my mind play wherever it wants to play. Beginning Monday (tomorrow), I’ll once again review one directive a day for the next ten days. That will leave a few days at the end of the process to mull things over once again.
Since today is a play day in this part of the process and I have allowed my thoughts to go where they will, they have led me into the area of radical belief.
To paraphrase Wallace Wattles, thinking is the toughest job you’ll ever undertake. And he wasn’t referring to just any type of thinking; he was referring to believing things that are not immediately supported by what we are currently seeing and experiencing.
People commonly say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
But uncommon thinkers say, “I’ll see it when I believe it.”
That’s radical belief – the kind of belief that you employ when you are successfully transforming and manifesting.
Here’s the simple breakdown. First, get a vision. Then, radically believe, no matter how things appear and no matter how hard it might be to hold that belief. And sometimes, particularly when you first begin, believing in spite of what you see will be hard work, just like Wattles says.
But, like everything else, the more you learn, the easier it gets. And it also gets easier with practice, and, just as soon as you experience some success, it’s downright fun!
Once I finish the 28 day process and put all of the pieces together, you’ll be able to easily see how radical belief works in this process. It’s one very important ingredient in your continuing transformation.
