Welcome to the Belief Clinic -- an adjunct section of the Belief Institute website.

Recently a number of people including myself (Steaphen) arrived at a similar conclusion about life. If what has been repeatedly explained by sages throughout history is true -- that we get what we concentrate on -- it seems astonishingly obvious that we ought best focus on what we truly desire: ease, wellbeing, peace, fun, laughter, joy ...

Some of you reading this might first think "What I truly desire is more money" or "more sex" and so on. But if we analyse what we desire, ultimately anything that is externally derived -- e.g. money -- can and most likely will hold us hostage to those things. No money = no peace or happiness. Viktor Frankl wrote that

"Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
