Important principle #9:

Important principle #9:
As long as you continue to hold the same beliefs, you will continue to get the same results. There is no way to continue to hold the same beliefs and get different results. To
get different results, you must be willing to adopt different beliefs-the beliefs of others who are getting the results you want.
A common stumbling block is wanting to keep the old beliefs (even though they result in outcomes you do not want) and yet somehow get different results. Please be very clear that this is not possible. One tongue-in-cheek (but very accurate) definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. There is no way to change your results other than to change the contents of your internal map of reality, and a key component of that map are your beliefs.
Once you know what your core beliefs are (and, again, we're concerned here with the negative beliefs-the positive ones, those that are giving you the results you want, don't need attention), and have made the decision that you want new and different results, the next step is to decide what beliefs would be more empowering and resourceful, and would create the results you do want.
