Healthy Beliefs

“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

Being stubborn often gets a bad rap in our society. If you are stubborn you are usually set in your ways and are considered difficult to deal with. Each of us has the ability to be stubborn and can probably look deeper at a few things in life that we are stubborn about.

Think about your own stubbornness for a moment? What’s it about? Where does it come from?

To be stubborn you have to have a strong belief that supports it. If not, the fire would burn out and you wouldn’t be able to keep up the tenacity behind your convictions. If someone were to argue with you about it, you’d have the most passionate response and you’d be sure that you were 100% right about it!

“Beliefs are choices. First you choose your beliefs. Then your beliefs affect your choices.” ~ Roy T. Bennett

Well, a big part of that is the ego roaring which keeps you from growing and widening your perspective. However, I believe that when it comes to our dreams and other positive life changes we desire – being stubborn can be a great tool!

To be stubborn also means to be unyielding, persistent and strong willed. Now I don’t know about you but overcoming certain challenges require more of that nature!

I believe we need to be stubborn about certain areas in our lives. For example, I want to be stubborn about my happiness, positive mindset, and health. I want to be stubborn about going after my dreams and seeing them come to life.

Looking at stubbornness from this perspective can be quite supportive in shifting our lives. If stubbornness comes from having a powerful belief about something that leads to us being persistent and strong willed, that means we have the ability to create beliefs that actually support and benefit us.
