What if the thing holding you back from experiencing optimal wellness and well-being is your belief that you don’t have it?
“Wait a minute,” you might say. “I don’t have those things. How can I believe anything other than the fact that I don’t have optimal wellness or well-being?”
And there is the problem.
Most people approach life with the expectation that they will “believe it when they see it.” They want hard facts, statistics, and reality to back them up. “Show me the money,” they say.
But this defies every spiritual guidance and practice. What is faith other than believing that all things are possible? That when you ask, it is given, and that it is up to you to “believe it and you will see it?”
Often people pray by continually asking for the same thing over and over again. By asking more than once, you are essentially telling All-That-Is (God, the Universe, Source Energy, Higher Coach—whatever works for you) that not only don’t you have the thing you want, but that you don’t believe or have faith that what you are asking for is coming.
The first step to creating optimal wellness and well-being is then to first believe that it is even possible.
This is why it is called a leap of faith. You have to disregard the evidence around you and trust that the wellness and well-being you have asked for is yours. That the process for its arrival is underway—much as you trust that UPS is bringing you the shirt you ordered regardless of the fact that you didn’t watch the shirt being packaged, loaded up on the truck, and going from point to point until it is delivered to you.
And it’s usually not that direct. Achieving optimal wellness and well-being is a process that is measured by continual growth and progress. It is something you are always in the state of achieving, so it’s even more important to focus on the evidence that supports your belief rather than the evidence that does not.
What does optimal wellness and well-being mean to you? How much do you believe that it is possible to achieve? What can you do to begin to embrace the possibility?
Together we can do it!

Love the title….it says so much and sums everything up nicely….encouraging message…thank you…
Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
Love it!
Thanks, Sandra!
Hanna, I liked this post. To move forward, you need to believe. But what about all those underlying beliefs which tell you not to believe?
That’s the work!
You are right as always.
I would suggest that it is a matter of moving towards what you want or not rather than being right or not. As always, I appreciate your comments!
Great Title!
It ties in nicely with a new track I’ve been running in my head about feeling “worthy” of optimal wellness. It’s hard for me to even envision it happening if I don’t believe I deserve it first.
Very true! Thanks for sharing.
Really well said, this is one of the missing pieces of the law of attraction, so many people are wishing for something, but still living in lack emotionally. Your emotional state has to match the state you desire to bring more of that into our lives. We are magnets. Believe! Thanks Hanna!
Absolutely! Thanks, Forrest! I appreciate your comments–and you!

Reblogged this on Holistic Words.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
This post is great. We need to understand that in order to achieve a goal we must believe that we can do it. Without that belief we are setting ourselves up for failure.
Absolutely! If you don’t believe you can do it, it’s almost impossible to achieve. Thanks for making that point!
The only limits that exist are the ones we put on ourselves. I love this post and its message!
Absolutely! Thanks for making that point. And for commenting! I appreciate it!
