BELIEFS

Our beliefs are very powerful. By power I mean that our beliefs can cause changes in our lives. In mark 9:23, Jesus Christ said, “ if you can believe all things are possible to him to him who believes.” There are two things I learnt from that statement; the first one is that what is possible for you in your life is not a function of: your pedigree, gender, nationality, educational background or all the other mental barriers that we use to stop ourselves, but your capacity to simply believe.
A lot of dreams have been discarded on the pavement of time, a lot of books have been left unwritten, a lot of businesses have to left un-built because the dream custodians have refused to believe. It is not that the dream can’t be manifested, but the dream-host were too scared to dare. So they died with their music still in them, while the rest of their tribe are physically alive but their dreams are dead.
Norman cousins put sagely when he said, “the greatest tragedy in life is not death, the greatest tragedy is what we allow to die within us while we are alive.”
The second thing I learnt from the words, “if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes.” Is that, it is a law. One thing about a true law is that it is not bias, in fact I noticed that the symbol of justice in Nigeria is the image of a human being that is blind folded, which is indicative of the fact that the image does not look at faces.
PLACEBO EFFECT: something prescribed for a patient that contains no medicine, but is given for the positive psychological effect it may have because the patient believes that he or she is receiving treatment. How it works is that, they take a sick patient, let’s say a cancer patient and they inform the patient that, that the drug that they are about to give them can wipe out their disease, meanwhile the drug has no medicinal content, the patient believes and a lot of times they get healed.
When they believe their brains release chemicals that enhance healing in the body. That is how powerful our beliefs are, the body even responds to your belief and heals itself.A lot of the beliefs that most people have about what’s not possible in their lives go unquestioned for decades and these beliefs mutate or metastasizes from parent to children.
