Core Beliefs by Deepak Chopra

"The most powerful beliefs are the ones I call core beliefs, because they tell you who you are. If someone deeply believes "I'm a winner" and someone else believes "I am unlovable," the outcome of their core beliefs will be very different. It's critical to hold positive core beliefs and to activate them in your daily life. The more you activate your core beliefs, the more dynamic and transformed your reality will be.

There are four core beliefs that make the most difference:

Love

Self-worth

Feeling safe and secure

Feeling whole

 In everyone's heart there is a belief about all four of these things, and this belief isn't always simple. Your entire life has shaped your core beliefs, while at the same time your core beliefs have shaped your entire life. Take the area of love. 

Here are some possible core beliefs that someone can hold about love, either positive or negative.

 Negative beliefs:

• I am not very lovable.
• Love is temporary and fleeting.
• Love can easily turn into hate.
• Falling in love is a delusion, a kind of romantic insanity.

 Positive beliefs:

• I deserve unconditional love and also want to give it.
• Love is eternal.
• Consciousness itself contains the power of love.
• Human love can connect with divine love and rise to its level. 

If you want your life to change at the deep level of core beliefs, awareness is your most powerful ally.
