Do ones belief influence ones responses? An analysis of human action

suggest that our response is always based on our belief system. There is no
person, educated and cultured or rustic and unlettered, who do not have a
set of beliefs which serve as a spring board for his behavior and actions.
The goal we have chosen, together with our role model, make up our belief
system. Our values also emerges from our belief system and our attitudes
finally determine our responses or actions.
At present, our outlook, values, attitudes, and actions are often prompted by
the belief system that is built from our knowledge of science and technology
and other disciplines such as economics and politics. Therefore, the way in
which we respond are mainly materialistic or secular. These responses
violates moral and spiritual laws for immediate gains.
All of us needs to build our own spiritual beliefs instead of relying on the
materialism of the world. Each one of us certainly have the capacity to
develop ourselves to our fullest potential. If we empower ourselves and think
positively, our energy draw us towards success like a magnet. All we have to
do is to believe in ourselves.
