Within you is the ability to adapt and transform and you do both those things continuously from the moment you are born. Contrary to conventional scientific theory, such as Darwin’s genetic determinism which posits it’s your DNA that directs your growth and evolution over a lifetime, new age science has proven it’s not your genes that determines your biology and life trajectory. Cellular growth and adaptation are not solely directed by your DNA as originally believed. In fact, it’s your thoughts and beliefs, informed by your perceptions which continually influence your cells, transforming them in response.
Your genes are not your destiny. Your environment, what you believe, and how you process those things are your new destiny. Within you is the ability to adapt and transform and you do both subconsciously and consciously.
Your beliefs are the engines that drive your life experience - psychologically and biologically. “You are not in fact beholden to your genes, and gene expression is changeable – once you begin to think, act, and feel differently. (Becoming Supernatural, Dr. Joe Dispenza) The most direct way to do this is by transforming your [subconscious] core beliefs.
THE SCIENCE
Science has proven it’s not your genes that control your biology and your life - it’s primarily your thoughts and beliefs which influence your cellular development thereby defining the nature of your daily experiences, health, and life. That’s not to say that the rare single-gene disorder, such as cystic fibrosis, isn’t significantly impactful. It means the vast majority of physical, mental, and emotional imbalances do not manifest from genetic disposition but are most heavily influenced by environmental factors. And it’s not simply the presence of environmental factors, it’s how they’re perceived and processed by the individual that influences cellular development and manifestation.
Since the early 1800’s we’ve been taught it’s our DNA that regulates and determines the foundation of our physical and mental health along with the trajectory of our lives. In other words, our genes control our health and potential. Based on frontier sciences such as Epigenetics research has proven this is no longer accurate. An esteemed leader in this research, Dr. Bruce Lipton reveals, “The science of epigenetics, which literally means ‘control above genetics’, profoundly changes our understanding of how life is controlled. In the last decade, epigenetic research has established that DNA blueprints passed down through genes are not set in concrete at birth. Genes are not destiny!” In fact, our destiny is created by how our beliefs impact our perceptions thereby catalyzing thoughts, feelings, and actions. Lipton continues, “Environmental influences, including nutrition, stress, and emotions, can modify genes without changing their basic blueprint.” (The Biology of Belief, 2012)
The fact that your DNA and genes are insignificant compared to the power of your thoughts and belief is game changing. The power to transform the majority of your biological and psychological conditions, along with mindset and presence has landed squarely within the control and influence of the individual. Science as we know it has been forever changed.
THE PSYCHOLOGY
Now you understand you are much more than your physical body and mind; you are a being of energy and belief and it’s these forces driving you forward, defining your experience of yourself and the world. The fact that you have influence over your cellular and genetic evolution via your core beliefs which generate every single thought, feeling, and behavior means you have the capacity to effectively change your perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and actions by changing your beliefs. The change in beliefs must precede lasting change in thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Conventional Psychology including cognitive and behavioral approaches, positive thinking, psychotherapy, and more have been mainstays in mental and emotional growth as well as leadership development for decades. However, positive thinking alone won’t generate a long-term positive change or outcome. Positive thoughts have a profound effect on our lives but only when they are in line with our subconscious beliefs.
With the concepts proven by these frontier sciences, it’s not as much about personality as it is personal-reality. Personality is limited to genetic determinism whereas as personal-reality is limitless in that it’s fueled by the energy and perspectives you create with your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. It’s really all about your core energy and how you manage it.
The key is in first updating your outdated core beliefs so the new beliefs will organically generate new thoughts, feelings, and actions relevant to who you are today, along with your current circumstances and goals. This process facilitates the identification and removal of your inner blocks and catalyzes your ability to move forward in the direction of your goals and dreams

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing the importance of updating our outdated core beliefs and removing our inner blocks in order for us to realize our potential. I look forward to more.
