You and your children’s ability to find meaning in life centers on how well you can focus on your desires and joy while limiting your time focused on what is not wanted. Your view of the world and the people in it has a direct influence on your happiness. Many parents’ beliefs are reinforced by the media and other external forces, which tends to takes a fear-based approach to life where human potential is limited. Until parents make a shift to beliefs that foster infinite potential in their children, their approach to parenting will not promote the full potential and creativity in their children.
We think the world creates our fear, when in fact; our fear creates images of the world we see. We also think that our unhappiness is due to circumstances that we encounter, when in fact, our unhappiness is what creates our circumstances.
Most of us allow the external world to define us and get our messaging and beliefs established by others that we place our trust. Our beliefs become fully engrained at about 7 years old and we continue to receive information from teachers, peers, friends, family, and media that influence our thoughts and beliefs. First beliefs of a child center on pleasing parents and making the false connection that their behavior determines the happiness or unhappiness of a parent or significant person.
The problem is that our subconscious mind takes in all information and stores it away as truth unless you consciously dismiss messages as not true. Although we think and believe that the external world actually presents events and situations that cause our emotional responses, the opposite is true. Our thoughts and beliefs actually create the picture that we see in the external world.
Fear is the driving force to all negative emotions and our beliefs and thoughts are what reinforce this emotion. Anger, frustration, depression, hopelessness, overwhelment, sadness, and other negative emotions all stem from fear.
