THE POWER OF BELIEF
At no time in my life have I felt more
strongly about the power of belief.
All who know me can testify that I have
been struggling to build a Believer's Network that can and will assume
the mantle of helping re-build our communities, insert or restore
community ownership, and take responsibiity for supplying
the community's needs.
Our success at East St. Louis began to
restore my power of belief. It has been magnified this past week as I
attended a Federation Cooperative conference
in Alabama. Not only did we achieve the support of the Director
of the Federation of Cooperatives (who will attend the ribbon-cutting when
we open the East St. Louis Farmers Market). We have now
established a community of LLIFE Believers in Birmingham,
AL. Aaron Maxey is the group's Director, and seven members have
already joined. We believe that through the grace of God,
Atlanta, GA will come onboard very soon.
Our organization looks to our East St.
Louis group with thanks for keeping energy, hope, and belief
alive!
Power of Belief: The Power of Belief and
Expectation
By John Boe
While you may not always get what you
want, you will always get what you expect! Surprisingly, the power of
belief and expectation work just as effectively on your feelings of
self-doubt and limitation as they do on your thoughts of success and
achievement. Think thoughts of defeat or failure and you are bound to be
discouraged.
Belief is an incredibly powerful state of
mind. Your belief system not only defines and shapes who you are, but it
also determines your potential. Henry Ford was correct when he said, "Whether
you think you can or think you can't - you are right."
Your belief system, like your computer, doesn't judge what you
input; it simply accepts it as the truth. Earl Nightingale, cofounder of
the Nightingale-Conant Corporation, concluded that life's strangest secret
is that you become what you think about all day long. If you want to know
where your predominant thoughts lie and what you believe, look at what you
are experiencing in your life. Your thoughts are creative by nature and
express themselves through your emotions, which in turn, drive your
actions. Everything you say, both positive and negative, is literally an
affirmation.
"Watch your thoughts, for they become
words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions,
for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your
character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny."
