Last week I wrote about how a person’s values will influence their beliefs. Lets take it one step further this week….. a person’s beliefs will then impact their behaviors. Humans are creatures of habit and we are fairly predictable. Our behavior and the decisions we make on a daily basis are largely determined by our beliefs. If you believe something about yourself or someone else (whether good or bad, true or untrue), you will begin to behave in a manner consistent with those beliefs. For example, if you believe you are a victim, then you will act victimized. If you believe someone is powerless to change, then you will continue to enable them. How are your beliefs impacting your behaviors- for the good or the bad?
To influence a person’s behavior, reach deeper to impact their beliefs.
