This is the fourth of seven articles in our continuing series on
Universal Law. The focus of this article is the Law of Belief.
Law of Belief
The Law of Belief states that whatever you believe with feeling
and conviction becomes your reality. It is not until you change
your beliefs that you can begin to change your reality and your
performance.
Another way to state this law is in the context of having faith.
All of the religions of the world talk about one’s ability to
always keep faith, as being a key to happiness and success.
Whether you choose to follow religious dogma or not, the Law of
Belief is something which can either help you achieve success or
keep you from achieving it – depending upon whether you live in
accordance with the law.
You have heard the doubters and the naysayers out there who
always proclaim, “I’ll believe it when I see it!” In reality, it
is the other way around; it is not until you believe it, that
you will see it (no matter what “it” is)!
Self-limiting beliefs are perhaps the most detrimental of all
thoughts, since they absolutely will keep you from the success
that you may want, but don’t believe you can attain. There is an
old saying that states,”whether you think you can or you can’t,
your right!” This saying is completely congruent with the Law of
Belief. Let me explain through the use of the following
hypothetical situation:
You are up for a promotion at work. You have worked hard and
feel you are ready, but do not believe with conviction that you
will get the promotion. Perhaps you feel there are other
candidates that are better or more qualified, or that you are
indispensable in your current role (now there is a misguided
belief!) or it may be some other negative thought pattern. If
these are the beliefs that you are holding in your mind, it is
almost guaranteed that you will not get the promotion. Why?
Because your self-limiting beliefs will conspire to hold you
back!
The Law of Belief, when understood and practiced, can help
anyone to manifest those things in life that they truly want.
The trick is that you need absolute clarity on your objectives;
a solid plan to get you there and then must believe that you are
destined to achieve them. As time passes, you must continuously
reinforce this belief in your own mind.
One of the greatest challenges is to persevere and maintain
focus on your goals, even when faced with seemingly
insurmountable setbacks or obstacles. The interesting thing in
these circumstances is that we tend to observe the world from a
very narrow point of view – which is that obstacle are negative.
In fact, obstacles help us to grow and can be positive!
Sometimes things go awry and it isn’t until much later that we
discover that, whatever the setback was, it was there for good
reason. We learn and become stronger from the experience.
By maintaining faith, by continuing to live in accordance with
the Law of Belief, we are able to achieve our goals, although
the path may be somewhat different than we had originally
thought! If however, we give up at the first sign of trouble, in
other words, our faith or belief fail us, then we can never hope
to reach our goals.
If you can learn to persevere in the face of all obstacles, then
eventually you will create the reality that you desire.
What You Can Do
There are two action exercises, which you can put in place
immediately, to help you in this area:
1. Begin to believe today, that you are destined to be
successful in whatever areas you desire. Get very clear and
focused on your true desires, make plans to achieve them and
then believe, with absolute conviction, that you will achieve
them. The universe will conspire to help you achieve it – once
you believe it!
2. Get into the habit of acting as though you have already
accomplished your goals and are the success you want to be. Your
new behaviours will influence your beliefs, which in turn will
help you to manifest your desires!
There is no mystery to achieving success – it is available to
all of us. One need only be aware of, understand and, most
importantly, live in accordance with, Universal Law! The first
step is in beginning to believe that you will attain the levels
of success that you truly want

What is perfection; if there is a solid definition of perfection than how could we apply it today?
Perfection evokes different feelings, ideals and ideologies in people around the world. It carries a relative meaning inter-culturally;however, I would like to know if there is a global common characteristic of perfection that would primarily be effective today. The next challenge I extend to those who are willing enough to answer this question is to apply "your" answer to modern day life and attempt to devise a strategy for co-existence with that which is "perfect". I do not obtain the answer to this question, yet I feel that it is important to all human beings to contemplate so that global perfection may be strived for. Whether or not it happens is another question with a different series of explanations and responses. It is my belief that the "ideal of perfection" may be reached when human beings discover a universal component(s) extracted from all definitions creating a foundation on which further advancements can be made. Only then will perfection exist; only then will we succeed.
Perfection is something that can’t be change or be wrong. Something that remains without modification. Like humans, imperfect humans that we are, we cannot define that in a united point. Simply because we are not perfect. Only somebody that is perfect can say ”this is perfect”.

I’m going to have to disagree. I can understand how seeking the common thread of perfection cross-culturally might theoretically produce a direction for action. It isn’t a bad *idea.* However, realistically, many human groups throughout the world don’t consider human beings in terms of perfection or imperfection, per se. I’d venture to say that our preoccupation with continual "personal improvement" is a result of a particularly Western neoliberal Christian history, that on one hand has convinced us that we are innately flawed and on the other that any forms of imperfection (being poor, disabled, female, or whatever) are our own responsibility or our own fault. We think in terms of radical individualism, and much of the rest of the world does not, meaning the unit we would try to perfect (the individual) is not necessarily the same unit that others would try to perfect (the family, the natural community, consciousness, etc.).

We cannot deal with absolute philosophical therms, but we can say nobody is perfect except God

Yes, there is perfection. The universal component that everyone puts all into motion and making it perfect is the community. But perfection in itself is an imperefection. It is all in the eye of the beholder. We live all around perfection we just dont see it.
