When we go back to where it all started, often the issues are much simpler and clearer. They're certainly not cluttered by later confirmations. T herefore, when we apply this information to the original example of the man's situation, we find that, as a child, he may not have known how to react to his initial situation.

Beliefs form the center of all of our behaviors.
When we believe in someone or something, we will then behave according to that set of beliefs. There are two key types of beliefs that we permit into our lives. The first is to believe that we can attain our desired outcome, that we believe it's possible to achieve a goal. The second type of belief is that we can attain our desired goal, but also have within ourselves the necessary tools or qualities to reach the goal. If for any reason we are hopeless, feeling we can't attain our goal, or helpless and believe that we do not possess the qualities to reach our goal, we become apathetic.
