I recognized that we unconsciously and automatically give meaning to 20-50 events during the course of a day and then think that the meaning is inherent in the event. In other words, it seems to us as if the meaning is as true as the event, as if the meaning is “out there in the world” attached to the event. I use the term “occurring” as a synonym for meaning because how events occur to us is the meaning we have given the events. So if we are fired from a job, we automatically and unconsciously might give that event the meaning that I screwed up, or my boss was being unfair, or this is a disaster and I’ll never get another job. For us, that meaning seems to be as true as losing our job. And it is that meaning that determines how we feel and how we will act. Those meanings, however, are largely the result of beliefs like I’m not good enough, people can’t be trusted, and life is difficult. Beliefs like these that are formed in childhood are the major determinant of how events occur to us later in life. So the way that beliefs ultimately determine our lives is by being the primary cause of the meaning we give events. - Morty Lefkoe, the guy who invented the belief-elimination method that has helped more than 150,000 people around the world eliminate the root cause of the suffering in their lives. It is the method I use too to help my clients eliminate their limiting beliefs (I combine it with Divine Openings because I find its more effective that way).
