Creativity Pathway #128:
You'll See It When You Believe It

 I recently bought a new hair dryer with a special "ionizing" feature. This
option releases negative ions, which break down the water molecules on your wet
hair so they can be absorbed into your follicles, leaving one with
super-moisturized locks that feel silky and look healthier. And, oh, I have felt
wonderful! My hair has been better than it has in years -- cooperative, shiny,
and stylish.
Two days ago, as I was examining this smart purchase more closely, I realized I
had not even turned on the ionizing feature! How could this be? I had certainly
felt a noticeable difference in my appearance since buying this new gadget.
Then, I remembered Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, You'll See It When You Believe It,
a detailed account of how to change not only the way you perceive reality, but
reality itself. Dr. Dyer's assertion that "Thoughts are the ways in which we can
make virtually anything happen" had become my reality. I believed that my hair
dryer was making something special out of my hair, and so that is what I
experienced.
There is such power in what we believe about ourselves and what is possible.
When working with clients, I often have them write "I am" statements related to
the goals they are working toward. For example, there is much more energy and
intentionality in saying "I am a brilliant children's author" than in saying "I
will be a brilliant children's author." Change begins with one's belief in the
ability to make it so. Transformation begins with one's belief that it is so.
And, just as our positive beliefs about ourselves enhance our ability to create
the best in ourselves, our negative beliefs about ourselves create our negative
experiences. If you believe you don't deserve it, you won't get what you
deserve. It you believe you are a failure, so you will always be.
Coaching Questions: What is it you are wishing for right now and what are the
beliefs you have about your ability to achieve it? What is the one "I am"
statement you could adopt that could transform your life?
