The Believer’s Cycle

Written By Debra Thomas

In my studying today, I stumbled across a new idea; “The Believer’s Cycle,” comprised of five parts:


DISCOVERING TRUTH

BELIEVING TRUTH

ACTING ON TRUTH

TRANSFORMING FROM TRUTH

SHARING TRUTH


DISCOVERING TRUTH

Sometimes whether we are actively searching for truth in our lives or not, we discover it. -Debra-


Truth is powerful. When we hear truth, it ignites a spark in our minds. Sometimes we can become physically moved by discovering truth even to the point of experiencing a break out of “goosebumps,” a rush of adrenaline, or palpitations of the heart.


BELIEVING TRUTH

We are intelligent human beings, and when truth aligns with our minds, hearts, and physical being, we feel compelled to believe. -Debra-


We feel compelled to believe for three reasons:

  • SIGNS: We witness signs (evidence) of the truth

  • AUTHORITY: We learn the truth from a trusted leader or source

  • ALIGNMENT: We verify that signs and truth align


ACTING ON TRUTH

In the instant when we confront and embrace new truth, we will take our first step towards proving to ourselves that it is indeed true; we conduct a “life experiment.” -Debra-


When we begin to change the way we do things, we are acting on truth. Friends and family will start to notice that something is different about us. Truth acted upon bringing about positive long-term results within us; makes for an extraordinary occurrence.


TRANSFORMING FROM TRUTH


At some point in our journey of acting upon truth, we will discover a newness about us; a transformation. Where we are no longer the people we used to be. - Debra-


How do we know if we have experience a transformation?

What are the signs of transformation?


We are no longer focused on changing actions to align to the new truth, but instead all of our thinking, decisions, and actions are changed as a result of our new belief. At this point we have experienced what is called a transformation.


Transformation is no respecter of persons, it can happen to any of us at any time in our lives when we choose to embrace truth and act upon it full-heartedly with belief. At this point in the BELIEF CYCLE, we are on the precipice of a new life.


SHARING TRUTH

A transformed people are so fresh, larger-than-life, and have an undying enthusiasm to change the world. They feel an innate desire within them to make a greater difference. -Debra-


Sharing truth is the most rewarding element of the belief cycle. This is when we inspire and lead others to truth, and in actuality, we begin to make a more significant difference because we are influencing more people than just ourselves.


…AND when we think we are transformed, we discover another truth and begin the BELIEF CYCLE again.


The result of the BELIEF CYCLE repeating over and over in our lives is what creates a R.E.D. Women.


Knowledge of new truth is EMPOWERING.

Inspiration from truth builds RESILIENCE as it helps us move forward with an “it’s a new day” attitude.

Acting on reality with a great belief is DETERMINATION in its purest form.
