How to Develop Self Belief and The Magic of Believing

September 9, 2009 | 4 Comments


The magic of believing is a double edged sword.  You may have heard of people speaking about the importance of being hopeful and having faith in your dreams, to believe in the unseen. There is some truth in those statements, but ultimately you still have to “see it to believe it.”

So how do you believe in something you can’t see?  How do you hold your dreams close to you when there is no end in sight?  How do you achieve the impossible?

The Magic of Believing

To increase your self-belief, you require a new lens; a new way of looking at the world.  You need to understand that your eyes and brain work together to create your mental projections of reality.  It’s just as Michael Talbot said in his book, The Holographic Universe:

“The eyes may be visual organs, but it is the brain that sees.”

The fact is that your retina collects light energy and converts that light energy into electrical signals.  Those electrical signals are then processed by your brain so that you get information about what you’re seeing.

And here’s some scientific evidence that you’ll find very interesting.  A recent study (2009) completed by German scientists at the University of Munich collected data on the neural activity of mice.

When babe mice are born, their eyes remained closed for the first 3-4 weeks.  The German scientists measured the neural activity of these mice while their eyes were closed and found that activity is primarily intrinsic; meaning that brain activity along the visual channels comes from internal sources.

When the scientists measured brain activity when eyes were closed they found that 75% of the nerve cells were active.

The scientists also measured the neural activity of these mice while their eyes were opened.  With open eyes the active nerve sells reduces to about 12%.  At this time the intrinsic or internal factors become less important than while their eyes are closed.

Personal Growth Series: 2 of 5

December 22, 2008 | 1 Comment


This is the second in the series on my personal growth journey.  I’ll share more on mindset and some empowering beliefs I used when I was younger as a hockey player.  These beliefs were the foundation to a lot of my earlier success in hockey and other sports.

Now I didn’t play hockey professionally, it was just for fun.  The thing with hockey is that there are so many skill sets that you need to learn at one time.  It’s a tough sport to pick up quickly.

We used to play hockey both indoors and outdoors.  There is a park and outdoor skating rink nearby my parents place in Sudbury.  We used to play in all sorts of weather when we were growing up.  A group of my friends would even play when it was below -25 C (-13 F) outside.

I started playing hockey when I was 10 years old.  I was terrible at the time.  I couldn’t skate or puck handle.  I was one of those kids that we used to call an, “ankle burner.”  You know, ankles rubbing the ice…. I think you get the picture.

1987, Quantum Leap Learning from Hockey

After my first year of hockey, I was devastated.  My confidence was at an all time low and I wasn’t sure if hockey was for me.  I was just so bad.  I was terrible.  I couldn’t skate, I couldn’t puck handle and I wasn’t having any fun.

Personal Growth Series: 1 of 5

December 21, 2008 | 6 Comments


This series of articles tells my story.  I’ll share with you some of my earlier experiences, my failures, my wins and how I got started with personal growth.  I’ll share with you what worked and what didn’t work and the lessons I learned along the way.

1977, Born in Sudbury

I grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.  I’m proud to be Canadian.  Hockey, beer and real North American winters.  Yup, it’s the life.  I’m 31 years old as of this writing.  Yes – it’s true!  I’m not 25 years old, like most people think, but I won’t tell anyone if you don’t :-)

Here’s a little pick of me just starting out.  My mom even put my hair into a spike.  My hair style hasn’t changed much.  Trisha says I look determined in that picture, like I’m on some sort of mission or something.  I’m not so sure what to think of it.

Sudbury was a great place to grow up.  It is a small community of about 100,000 people located a four hour drive north of Toronto.  Sudbury is a hockey and mining town for the most part.  Mining is driven by INCO, the local mining company.

Mental Programming Growing Up

When you grow up in Sudbury, there is some mental programming just like any small community.  You’ve got to remember that everything revolves around mining.  It’s what keeps the local economy alive and well.

10 False Beliefs about Money

August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment


The most common reason that people are broke is because of their false beliefs. These beliefs come from the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind or the emotional mind works with the Law of Attraction. You attract based on the programming of your subconscious mind.

Many people know how to make money; a lot of them do. They just don’t know how to keep it! They don’t know how to keep it because of their false beliefs.

Your programming may be putting the brakes on your efforts. These false beliefs are buried deep in the constructs of your mind. If you keep attracting debt, then you may have false beliefs about money.

Here are ten false beliefs about money,

  1. I’m not smart enough.
  2. I’m not good enough.
  3. You can’t trust people with money.
  4. You can’t be rich and healthy.
  5. Money doesn’t grow on trees.
  6. You need money to make money.
  7. Making money is a lot of hard work.
  8. Having money just creates problems.
  9. Having money isn’t everything.
  10. Money is dirty (coming from, “He’s filthy rich!”)

You can’t change these beliefs because YOU ARE them. You are your beliefs. You won’t be able to change them until you separate yourself from your beliefs. You do this by becoming aware of these beliefs and letting them go.

How to Become Aware of False Beliefs

January 15, 2008 | 11 Comments


Awareness of your current beliefs is an important first step to change them. If you can’t see them, you can’t change them. Once you’re aware of what’s holding you back, anything is possible. In this article I’ll review a process that I’ve found useful to uncover counter intentions and false beliefs.

Let me explain why awareness is so important. Let’s say you’ve just bought a new shirt. The shirt is brand spanking new so it feels and looks awesome. You walk around with a lot of pride because you’re excited to show off your new shirt. Everything is great and then someone says to you, “Did you realize that you still have the sticker price on the back of your shirt?” At first, you feel offended and even embarrassed because you didn’t realize this. Then after your emotions settle you laugh it off and realize it’s the best thing that could have happened to you. You’re now aware and can peel off that silly looking sticker.

“The first step towards change is awareness.” ~ Nathaniel Branden

A lot of us these days are walking around with sticker prices on the back of our shirts and we don’t even realize it! These stickers are the same as those false beliefs that we were taught. The same hidden beliefs that hold us back from having an amazing relationship, a fulfilling career and generating an increased cash flow or income.

Awareness is important. If you had a big booger on the side of your nose, would you want to know about it? You bet you would! Increasing awareness let’s you see yourself as others see you. You get to see yourself in a new light and from a different perspective.

Becoming aware will help you uncover your false beliefs. False beliefs are thoughts that don’t serve you. These can come in many forms. They can be visual, auditory, kinesthetic <feeling type> or a combination of all of the above. Click here to read more…

The Big Lie About Money

July 5, 2007 | 11 Comments


I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made a ton of them. The beauty of making mistakes is that there is a lesson to be learned in every single one of them.

When I first started my peer tutoring company a couple of years ago I got pretty excited. I thought this was going to be my ticket to financial freedom. The problem was that I had created another job for myself. I now had two jobs; one full time and one part time in my business, which meant I had to work more in exchange for a small increase in earnings.

I learned a powerful lesson from this experience – that getting another job wouldn’t get me ahead. I also learned about ‘the big lie about money’.

How many of you have ever noticed that there are a lot of people caught up in the rat race to get ahead? We all want more money, more toys, more time so that we can do more. We want more of everything. We all want to have financial wealth and abundance so that we can do whatever we want whenever we want. I believe that all of this is attainable as long as we our willing to re-examine our beliefs about money.

The problem is that most of us try to get ahead by working harder and longer hours to earn more money. The funny thing is that money isn’t even the problem. The problem isn’t out there; it’s in here – It’s in our heads! Our minds are a powerful thing and they simply haven’t been programmed for wealth. They haven’t been wired for riches.

The reason for this is because you were told a little fib when you were young. You were told a little white lie:

“Study hard and get a good job and you will have money and security.”
