MY COMMITMENT TO LIVE A LIFE OF CORRECT, POWERFUL BELIEFS
As this will totally upgrade and transform my life to a higher level, I am making the following commitments and acknowledging my agreement with what underlies that which works in beliefs and in life.
Acknowledgements
___ I acknowledge that my beliefs determine the quality of my life.
___ I acknowledge that events are "neutral" and that it is I, through my belief
filter/lens, who is creating the appearance of them being otherwise.
___ I acknowledge that emotion is a result of my beliefs, not circumstances
or other people.
___ I acknowledge that fear is an emotion and that I create virtually all of
my fear through beliefs, with the few exceptions pointed out on the
site.
___ I acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with me, in terms of fault, and
that the dysfunctionality is totally a result of erroneous beliefs, which I have
the power to change.
___ I acknowledge that it is I who am solely responsible for all my beliefs and
no one else.
___ I realize that I chose to (often in a state of diminished functionality) adopt
the beliefs of my caretakers and of other people, including what I've read.
___ I realize that I did much of this earlier in life and/or when I was at a less
than adequate state of knowledge and ability to reason and/or from a
viewpoint of being powerless.
___ As such, many of them are untrue and dysfunctional (not workable).
___ I acknowledge that I cannot blame anyone else for not knowing better or
being more capable, as humans are of limited knowledge.
___ I realize that I formulated many of my beliefs at a time or in a manner
where I used insufficient knowledge and/or reasoning.
___ I acknowledge that my beliefs are not a part of me but are only what I choose to
have and to use to run my life.
___ Accordingly there is nothing to defend.
___ I will not use anger or argument to defend them, for they are actually
just temporary, convenient opinions/rules that I only use as needed.
___ I listen to others and consider the validity of any input.
___ I respect their beliefs as "what they know so far".
___ I also do not attempt to inappropriately control (change) their
beliefs, as I realize this is foolish.
___ Accordingly, they are not a part of me to 'feel bad' about
___ I acknowledge that many of my beliefs are untrue and/or dysfunctional.
___ As such, if I am to raise the quality of my life, I must correct and upgrade
my beliefs to what is true and to what works in life.
___ As such, I see that it is not wise to allow any untrue harmful belief to
persist and run my life.
___ I see that it is unwise to tolerate untrue, harmful beliefs and that I should
deal with them quickly and completely if I want to live a better life.
___ The most significant indicator of a belief being untrue is "bad feelings",
for they are virtually never appropriate in life.
My commitments
___ I will run my life with excellent beliefs.
___ As part of that, I will rapidly get to the point where I do not use "sneak
arounds" (see below).
___ I will not use substances (pills, food, alcohol, etc.) nor avoidance
behaviors (anger, withdrawal, manipulation, etc.) to mask the
symptoms, as I can control the symptoms by elimnating the cause itself.
___ To create that, I will
___ Learn what I need to in order to be masterful at creating and
managing my beliefs.
___ Notice "bad effects" and correct the beliefs behind them as soon as
possible, whether they be emotional results or results "out there" that
I could have produced differently.
___ Install the true beliefs to the point that they are workable and automatic,
for anything less is cheating myself out of the top quality life I am
capable of living.
___ I will only relate a "story" for a progressive purpose, but once it is used for that
purpose and everything needed from it is extracted, I will never repeat the story,
I will completely give it up.
I commit this ____ day of _______________, ______
