False Beliefs
by
AUS360 Group
Whenever a new elephant is brought to the circus, it is chained to a heavy iron ball. The elephant struggles in vain to escape. Everyday, the elephant repeatedly tries to escape until it finally loses hope of ever being free. The elephant has built up a false belief of the impossibility to escape. Even when the chains are removed, it will never try to escape again. This is exactly the case with our thoughts. They are the main reason of the weakness and misery we face in our life. imagine how much hidden power we have inside up our minds, if only we can get rid of our false beliefs. Shakespeare says “ there is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so”.

AUS360 Group
Sigmund Freud suggested that traumatic events are forgotten because they are hidden from our conscious awareness, or repressed; Brown and Kulik (1977) found that highly emotional events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy are often vividly remembered (although this has been widely disputed); now, research published in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests that people tend to underestimate the intensity of the actual emotions if they are mixed, rather than happy or sad.
