What do you believe about yourself? Your abilities? Your family? Your beliefs are like seeds planted in soil – when nourished in the proper environment, seeds grow into beautiful foliage. As children, our belief system is based on the world we live in. Once we are grown, we must get clear about what works best for us as an adult.
A few things I remember hearing as a child that impacted my belief system were:
Children are seen and not heard
Good girls don’t wear red lipstick and red fingernail polish
Women don’t go to clubs by themselves
I know what you’re thinking, are you serious? Yes, growing up in the 60s these were just some of the expressions being thrown about in that decade.
Well, thank goodness change is happening regularly and I have a natural rebellious streak in me. I didn't think I took them to heart, although I'm sure they made an impression on me. In my observation, children are definitely expressing themselves in 2023. I do love a good red lipstick and nail polish. Lol. And I don’t remember how many times I went out salsa dancing by myself.
When was the last time you thought about what you believe and if it is serving you now? I pulled out the second edition of my book, Why Struggle? Life is too short to wear tight shoes to look at the beliefs and philosophies I shared in 2017. I wanted to be sure I still believed what I did back then. I do still have the same beliefs and a few more. I won’t list them all, here are a few. I believe:
Love is the most powerful, healing, and transformative power there is. Be kind even when you can't be loving.
I am a student and teacher in the school of life. Teachers are everywhere, and I must be open and willing to be a student at all times.
Trusting my personal guidance system (PGS) is practice, and I have to relax to hear it.
I also believe that everything in life is purposeful. There are no mistakes. I’m in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, doing the right thing.
Life is practice. I continue to practice training my mind to focus on what I desire, and not on what I don’t have. Planting seeds of the flowers I would love to see in my garden. That’s what life is about.
When was the last time you checked your belief system?
