I am reminded of a principle someone shared during our meeting the other day. He said, "A change in belief will lead to a change in behavior." I actually heard this awhile back but during this time it got me thinking and I realized that our beliefs greatly influence how we live life.

For example, if we believe that there are great things in store for us in the future, we remain hopeful and positive despite the hard and challenging times of the present. Our eyes are fixed not on the difficulties of today but on the opportunities of success tomorrow. On the other hand, if we believe that nothing good will come out of life, we are often pessimistic of our situation and of people. There are also people who do not firmly believe in anything so they end up being swept into everything without accomplishing something.
However, we also have to be careful with what we believe because we can sincerely believe in something and at the same time be sincerely wrong. In other words, the danger in belief is in what we believe. It might be a lie.
