What you believe about you, your life, and the world impacts your experience of them. Your beliefs inform your thoughts and your thoughts generate your actions. And, of course, your actions create the world where you live. It's very important to be aware of your beliefs.Are your current beliefs fully conscious to you? Or, is your self-perception stuck in yesterday? Do you know what you believe today? Of course, the quick answer is "yes". Do you really?Just as a once- thriving river bed slowly dries up and changes course your beliefs can subtly shift over time almost without your knowledge. You don't notice it day to day, but over years the change can be dramatic.Life is an ever-changing adventure, but sometimes your self-perception and the perception of others does not keep up with who you are today.You and the people around you may have an outdated idea of who you are.Have you had the experience of really advancing in your professional or personal life only to have your family not recognize the change? You go home for the holidays and your mother still sees you and treats you like you're 13. It can be very frustrating when others fail to recognize the strides and leaps you have made in life. Their perception of you can become locked in time.When I was 25 I became seriously ill and spent several weeks in the hospital. One of the best internists in the city took my case. He became my personal physician for several years. He was a gifted and talented doctor, but he never let go of his vision of me as that sick person lying in a hospital bed. Finally, I had to move on and find a new doctor. His belief about who I was didn't keep up with reality.While frustrating when other people do this to you, you often do it to yourself. Has your perception of who you are kept up with the reality?Here is an idea to help you get in touch with who you are today.
