Bear this in mind:
Our beliefs determine our actions, and our actions determine our results. If you’re not
getting the results you desire, your beliefs may deserve some examination. Your beliefs are the core
of your results. Life and success are both easier and more consistent when your beliefs are
supportive of the things you want out of life
Belief
Is something that is considered true and correct.
A person can believe in various things such as cultural, personal faith, morality or values.
Itexpresses viewpoints, but it is not based on facts or other pieces of evidences. A belief is
also an opinion, which is why it cannot serve as the basis for a formal argument.
Example:
1. In my personal view, corona virus makes us separated from others because of social
distancing.
Beliefs are very personal ideas and cannot be rejected because they express an opinion. Also, these
beliefs are not mandatory to change completely with new experiences
CONVICTION
Is something that an individual is convinced of.
To be convinced, you need to obtain all the related information. Based on the information that
the conviction is built, a belief changes with time and new experiences, yet, a conviction
remains the same.

1. In my personal view, it is necessary to follow social distancing to ensure safety for all.
