Achieving Your Dreams: Why Your Beliefs Are Your Secret Weapon

“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”

Archilochus

This is a great quote that got me thinking about my life.

Specifically the life I desire and the life I’m creating.

I’m not going to rise to my hopes and dreams for the future; I will fall to my beliefs around those hopes and dreams.

Example: If I don’t feel worthy of my hopes and dreams, my subconscious will do everything in its power to ensure I don’t achieve them.

Creating an extraordinary life of joy, purpose, meaning, and fulfillment requires more than logistical, tactical, and strategic steps.

It requires the mindset and beliefs that support those steps and empower us to want to take more steps — especially when challenges arise (which they will).

The funny thing is, when I take the logistical, tactical, and strategic steps, I cultivate my mindset, and when I cultivate my mindset, I want to take more steps.

It’s a win-win.
