Day 3:
# 3 Leadership Letter - BELIEFS as NO 3 out of 5 basic elements

Do you think success comes primarily from hard work - or can success be achieved easier and faster with more joy? What belief you are holding is of great importance to move from stressful success to joyful success.

Why is this important?

This is important because we have limited time and energy - we want a personal experience of ease and joy at work and in life.

Our beliefs are shaped from an early age through upbringing and family, friends, education and work. What you learn and see practiced shapes your beliefs – and it`s normally not the only truth. This way our beliefs may actually be part of our limitations. 

Maybe the time is right to explore your own beliefs. It can be useful for you to reach your potential and thrive optimally in business and life. 

Understand that a belief is also a form of thought. Even though we are not aware of it, we have our beliefs about most things. How things are connected. It affects how we understand is the right way to act in given situations. Remind yourself that your beliefs are learned and based on the beliefs of others. The beliefs of others will thus affect how you see the world, how you see life, what is possible and not possible, who you are and what you have the capacity to do. Our beliefs thus become in a way the lenses we see the world through. If we change lenses, the world will look different.

To figuratively do this; what does the world look like through a pair of dark sunglasses compared to a pair that has yellow or pink glasses. In the first case the world becomes darker, more black and white. In the second case the same landscape becomes more colourful. This is how our beliefs work. 

The basic beliefs often form us before we are 7 years old (but can also happen later). Our parents' beliefs will often shape our beliefs. If the mother thinks it is dangerous to climb trees, it may be something she has learned from her own mother and passed on to her children. If the father thinks that it is important to eat breakfast, he would like to practice it and teach it as important and the correct way of eating well to his children. If you see that your parents work a lot and do not prioritise vacation in their jobs, you learn that it is important to work a lot and that vacation is less important. On the positive side, you can experience parents who take you out into nature early and give you good nature experiences. If you remember this as positive, you will tend to do the same with your children.
