The inspiration for today’s topic comes from a clip I watched of Oprah discussing what you want versus what you believe. I encourage you to take a moment and examine your own life. Think about the things that you want in your life, whether it be family life, relationship, career related, material, peace of mind, etc. Then I’d like for you to think about what you believe in relation to that want.
- What’s the relationship between your want and your belief?
- Does your belief support or contradict your want?
- How can you get your want and belief to fall in line?
- How can aligning your want and belief help you turn that want into a reality?
I’ll let you simmer on that; some of you might have a few things to ponder. In the meantime, check out the video that prompted this post-
What are your thoughts on this topic? Did you enjoy the video? Did you take a moment to examine your wants and the relationship with your current belief around it? Did this highlight something you may have known but not realized? Did this put anything into a better perspective for you? Does this make you want to realign your beliefs around that want? I’d love to hear your thoughts, feel free to share your story in the comments!
I appreciate this post very much. I work every day to make sure that what I want aligns with what I believe and vice versa. I don’t believe that my life can fall in line any other way.

I’m so glad to hear that! It’s funny because sometimes we can want things and if we really look at it, what we believe doesn’t support that making it difficult to attain. I like that you point out it’s an evaluation you make daily, very mindful of you!

That is so true. If you don’t believe you can do something (deep inside) you have an obstacle to overcome before you even try.
