to Achieve Success and Freedom
In our last article I spoke about changing limiting beliefs. You identified what the major ones were that were holding you back from having the life you desire and deserve. One of the key elements you need in order to change those beliefs is to decide what you want to change them to.
The biggest problem people have in life is that they are unhappy or dissatisfied where they are and want to be someplace else but they haven’t decided where that place is! One Universal Law you must be aware of is that the Universe abhors (hates) a vacuum and will immediately rush in to fill the empty space. An important point to understand is that if the space you just cleared was a negative or limiting belief or assumption then an equally negative one will replace it unless YOU decide what POSITIVE belief or assumption you will replace it with.
So you must get some positive references to uphold your new idea or concept that you desire to turn into an empowering belief…
The big question is… Where do you get these references? One way is from your own memory banks, from your own past experiences, from other people’s experiences—people you’ve seen succeed, get rich, have great bodies, enjoy perfect health, have great relationships, experience love and joy.
This is why reading inspiring stories, watching videos and listening to audios that describe other people’s success stories, strategies and mindset is so powerful. You get to borrow them and use them as a model to create your own on purpose.
You can even pull them out of the future by imagining or visualizing yourself having those experiences or references. That’s the purpose of your imagination; to create whatever end result you desire to achieve, just like magic. It’s the most powerful tool you have, it doesn’t cost you anything to use, it’s the thing that can set you free from all limitation and lack and I’m going to teach you how to use it masterfully in my programs!
Our imagination is the most powerful tool we have to create the lives we desire. With it we can imagine what we would like to experience in our material world and feel that we actually have it. When we get into that feeling of actually having it we are in the spirit of the thing! The feeling is the spirit of whatever it is that we want to possess or experience and that is what brings it into reality!
There is a very powerful and yet misunderstood scripture that states “Not by power or by might but by my spirit, says the Lord”… its all about the feeling of already being, doing and having which is the will of God because God’s desire for us is that we continually expand and express ever greater levels of life, love and beauty!
Let me ask you a question. How did Columbus discover America? Where did he get his references or sense of certainty that the world was round and not flat? He had to pull his references out of the future, something no one had seen before in the physical realm. He saw it in his mind, in his mental theater.
He believed it so strongly that he was willing to risk his life and reputation. He believed it so much that he actually influenced others (including the Queen of Spain) to back his mission!
Now it’s your turn: So now look at your limiting beliefs and determine the new beliefs that will take you where you truly want to be in life. Start using your imagination to see where that will put you in life and actually feel what that would be like. Imagine how your life would be like if you were already the person you want to be, doing and having the things you desire in your life.
What beliefs did you create in your mind that got you where you wanted to be in your imagination? Take these new empowering beliefs and write down all the benefits you and your loved ones will gain by living with these new beliefs now and in the future. Take a few minutes and actually do this exercise right now!

Understand that the only things holding you back from achieving your greatness and all the riches you desire in life are your limiting beliefs and your resistance. And, your resistance comes from memories, traumatic experiences and suppressed feelings which consciously or unconsciously you have labeled and given negative meaning to. This boils down to a conflict of beliefs, usually regarding your worthiness or deservingness. The Law of Life truly is the Law of Belief. As you believe it shall be done unto you!
I’m sure that Bill Gates’ parents told him that for a bright boy like him, getting a great education would take him far in life. But, when an opportunity came up to produce the software for the first personal computer, that dream caused him to change his beliefs.
The rest is history. One of the richest men in the world doesn’t have a college degree. So what’s your excuse?
That is why a lot of times when people give me excuses saying, well I can’t be, do or have this because of this or that… I say BS.
You might think, that’s kind of rude Carlos, but BS doesn’t just stand for bull poop, it also stands for Belief System. And a limiting belief system is way nastier and smellier than the biggest pile of bull poop you’ve ever seen in your life.
Please take the time to create the empowering beliefs that will transform your life today. In my next article I’ll teach you a very powerful strategy to change limiting beliefs and convert them to empowering ones immediately so you can attain your desires and dreams in life.

It’s been a while since my last blog post. As some of you may know I have been accelerating my knowledge of Internet marketing strategies, studying under Brendon Burchard for the past 9 months. I also did a Spanish Market launch of my Millionaire Mindset Online program (my first one) and did a Facebook Fanpage campaign to achieve over 100,000 “Likes” which kept me very busy throughout the past 6 months.
However, I’m very excited to be back here and to keep providing greater value to all of my friends through this medium. I am ready to resume posting on my blog regularly every week once again so keep an eye out for a new article (sometimes even two) every week!
In order to get the most out of this week’s article I highly recommend that you go back and read the last two articles entitled “How to Direct the Power of All Powers” and “How to Know What Beliefs are Blocking Your Success.” It will only take you a few minutes to do so but will enhance your ability to get maximum impact from this week’s article. Enjoy!
Now… Lets talk about money. You have been learning about my Ultimate Success Formula and, although it can be used to obtain a lot more than money, you probably want more money too, right? So, what beliefs do you have about money? Unless you are tremendously wealthy and have more money than you can spend, you have some limiting beliefs about money, or your worthiness to have more of it than you now have.
We covered a few of the many potentially limiting beliefs a person could have in this area in the previous articles, but I want you to really think about it. What did you hear your parents say about money, what was the general feeling in your home while growing up pertaining to money, what did you hear religious leaders, teachers and coaches say about money, what clichés did you hear repeatedly, what did your parents tell you when you asked for things, what did you experience in your past regarding money, wealth or lack?
Do you honestly believe that there’s enough money for everyone? Do you believe that if you have more, somebody else has to have less? Do you believe that there’s a limited amount of money that everyone has to divide? Are you afraid that there won’t be enough left for you after everyone else takes their share? Do you believe that if you have a lot of money, your friends won’t like you or will try to take advantage of you or will only want to hang around with you because of your money?
Do you believe that money corrupts people? Do you think money is good or is it evil? Do you believe you have to take advantage of other people to be rich? Do you think rich people are evil? Do you believe that all rich people are going to hell? Would you feel guilty about having a lot of money? Do you think it’s wrong to be materialistic? Would you feel guilty about having a luxurious home, exotic automobiles, taking luxury vacations, buying designer clothes, buying expensive jewelry and watches? What limiting beliefs do you have buried in your subconscious regarding money, wealth and riches?
Take a few more minutes to brainstorm all of the limiting beliefs, thoughts and ideas you have about money. Don’t hold back. If there was ever a time to let all the negatives hang out, it is now. It will definitely serve you to find them so we can transform them to empower you!
In addition to beliefs that we can actually pinpoint in our lives, many times things happened during childhood before we could even speak or understand. This is what happened in my story about leaving Cuba. I was not intellectually aware of what I believed, yet it was very real in my experience and it affected me for many years. This is energy stored in our bodies, in our subconscious mind, and we may not even be aware of it other than through a feeling of discomfort in certain situations.
When intense things happened, they might have caused extremely strong feeling or emotion that we now label “trauma.” These intense emotions create intelligible sensations that move us in ways that seem unreasonable to the logical, conscious mind. Nevertheless, they are very real in our inner world and their effects can be certainly felt in our outer world.
It is important that when we feel negative feelings or emotions, we acknowledge and release them in order to center our energies and maintain our alignment. They are our signals that there is some fear, belief, trauma, emotional scar or negative program playing in our subconscious mind. If not addressed, these emotions can cause us to self-sabotage and not achieve our desires or goals.
Please take the time to discover many of the things that have been blocking you from having your success and dreams, and in my next article we’ll move on to how to deal with those blocks and remove them so you can attain your desires and dreams in life.

Our buried emotions, fears, beliefs and programs are just energy infused with information. That’s what a thought is, a representation of an ideal or concept which is essentially energy infused with information.
A thought that you think many times becomes a belief and beliefs are causes. Beliefs put the Law of Attraction into operation, create our vibration, and therefore they are what create our success or failure, our wealth or lack, our happiness or sorrow. We need to really dig into this topic, so please pay close attention.
A belief is nothing more than a sense of certainty about what something means. It’s an idea that has so many references behind it that you feel certain it’s true.
The important thing is… It is not necessarily true. It could very easily be an absolute lie. It could go totally against the truth, but since we have the belief that it is true programmed, our subconscious (our inner power that is working all the time to produce results) will make it true for us in our experience!
Think of a belief as a table. The top of the table is an idea or a thought. The legs are the references, distinctions and concepts that, through repetition, have given you a sense of certainty regarding the idea or thought.
The table top without the legs would only be a flat piece of wood or glass or whatever material your table is made of. A belief without its legs (which are references and distinctions) is just an idea, which may or may not be true or even relevant in your life.
It is the legs holding up the flat piece of wood that make it a table. The idea or thought without the references would not be a belief, just an idea or thought. So it’s the references and the repetition of those references that create the sense of certainty that makes the idea a belief.
The Law of Life is the Law of Belief. Whatever you believe is true is the reality that you will create for yourself. Having beliefs that serve us and empower us to attract what we truly desire is the key to having riches in every area of life.
Sometimes our beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with our current reality. I know people who fight and act like children when they get around their siblings at holiday time and they are now in their 40s and 50s! It’s amazing how many of us are limited by traditions, which are just collective beliefs, and we never question them.
What would you have to do to take a belief you currently have that is limiting you and change it?
There are many ways to change beliefs and in this training program I’m going to teach you powerful technologies to do just that. One way to change beliefs is to question the validity of the references that uphold that belief or associate enough pain to the belief that it causes you to question the references. If you remove the validity of the references, you change the belief or remove it altogether.
Let’s start learning these strategies by using a very simple example. One of my old, limiting beliefs, a belief that kept me from a high level of success for a long time until I changed it was: “I don’t deserve success.”
I had that belief because I was in a hurry to grow up and was trying to bite off more than I could chew. My parents, grandparents and teachers were always telling me to “slow down, you’re still young, you still have a lot to learn and you have to pay the price for success.”
When I acted impulsively or missed the mark, they would say, “Remember, you’re still young and have a long way to go and a big price to pay before you are ready to achieve real success.” Consequently, I became really sensitive to the fact that I was too inexperienced and not good enough to attempt big things. The message I heard in my subconscious mind was “I don’t deserve success because I haven’t learned everything I need to or paid the price yet”
Later when I started working in sales and would call on people, they’d say, my gosh you’re so young to be a financial planner or insurance expert. Even when it was a compliment, I was so self-conscious that it set off an unconscious trigger to my feelings of being undeserving and the belief I had developed that, “I’m not good enough yet so I don’t deserve success.” As ridiculous as this may sound to you, this belief affected my level of confidence, self worth and my feeling of worthiness to attain high levels of success.
It wasn’t until I began questioning my beliefs that I realized that I could change this. And then I went and replaced that belief with a really strong and empowering one… “I am as successful as I decide to be.”
I began to realize that my success was a function of directing my mind towards my goals and maintaining a positive mental attitude, while executing my plan of action in the faith that it is already done.
I changed my references by realizing that my limiting belief had been formed when I was young and wasn’t even valid in the new context where it was affecting me, namely business success. I also realized that if I kept this belief, it would have very negative consequences in my life. It was keeping me broke!
I linked enough pain to the old belief and enough pleasure to the new one that once I came to this realization/revelation I turned it into an empowering belief. It’s really as simple as that in most cases, unless its something deep-seated from a very early age or something so painful that you’re suppressing it, but I’ll even show you how to dig those up.
The bottom line is that our beliefs can lead us to either create the life of our dreams or destroy our dreams and leave us with a life of misery and dullness.
In my next article we’re going to dig deeper into what is blocking you from having the things you really want and show you how to change your limiting beliefs into empowering ones, so until then…
