Belief + Action = Result

by Tom Leu

Much has been written about the power of the human subconcious mind. In sum, what our conscious (discerning/rational) mind suggests to our subconcious (undiscerning/irrational) mind manifests itself and becomes our "reality." In other words, if you tell yourself that you are a loser, then you will behave like, and ultimately become a loser. If you repeatedly tell yourself that you attract wealth, then you will do the things necessary to attract, and become wealthy. Your subconcious mind will mandate the behaviors and actions necessary to carry out its instructions from your concious mind. Sooner or later, what you tell yourself to be true will become your truth.

So there are three distinct components of Belief, Action and Result to consider inside the following four sets of equations:

B + A = R (where Belief and Action are high producing a high Result)

...dreamers and doers

b + A = R (where belief is low but Action is high producing a high Result)

...doers

B + a = r (where Belief is high but action is low producing a low result)
...dreamers

b + a = r (where belief and action are low producing a low result)

...the majority

1. Belief - what we believe, if we believe, when we believe, how much we believe... We don't have to believe something to be true in order for it to be true. Something may be actually true whether we believe in it or not.

2. Action - what and how much we do, what we don't do, or just think about doing... Taking specific action toward a defined goal is the only sure way to achieve that goal. Believing or not believing in the action will arguably affect progress, but not the actual outcome or result.

3. Result - the inevitable outcome of the above two components combined... A combination of belief and action guarantee some kind of result. Belief and action are dependent upon our input yet are indirectly affected by each other. Result is independent and will be created and exist regardless of the relative amounts of belief or action that precede it.

So no matter how much you believe or don't believe in something; no matter how much or little action you take toward some goal; a result is guaranteed. Little belief plus positive action still produces positive energy that affects a positive outcome from the universe. Logically then, the independent variable is the result which is directly affected by the two dependent variables of belief and action. If you want to improve or change your life, you should first believe that you can, but you must take some sort of deliberate action. Belief is optional, though much harder to act upon without it; action is mandatory; your result is the relative product of the two.

For example, biblical tithing is an outward act or expression of an inward affirmation or belief. The combined belief ("self-talk" to the subconscious) with the action (financial generosity) produces a visible result of physical, emotional, and spiritual abundance which is often called "good fortune" or "being blessed." No matter how you describe it, dress it up, or declare it... our life results are influenced by, and dependent upon our beliefs and our actions. Not the beliefs and actions of others. What do you think about that? And what are you going to do about it now?
