A Promise To Myself

A promise to myself    16 April 2013
We need to conduct our own lives according to our own highest moral values that we believe in.  Belief being what we believe to be true, which is different to Faith.  Have you heard the generalized statements or perhaps use them yourself?  We are quick to point a finger elsewhere when we might very well find that on some level we are equally guilty of that behaviour which we so strongly condemn.  Sometimes we need to re-examine just what our beliefs (not religious) really are.  We might need to revise and rethink and update them a little.  “Your beliefs are a magnet that create your reality” (-coach Bobbi). If you don’t like your reality perhaps you need to revise your beliefs. People respond to their perception of reality, not reality itself. (NLP ‘truth’).  At different times of our life it is necessary to take stock of just what it is that be believe is true.  Like waking up when it is still dark and watching the dawn break as the world slowly wakes up.  It’s a beautiful thing….. however, you need to be awake to experience it.  With our young daughter the Disney channel is on far too much in our house. Who would have believed that Disney can still inspire us? I quote:  “I believe in loyalty and trust, I believe loyalty is built on trust.  I am brave sometimes, I am scared sometimes, and sometimes I am brave even when I am scared.  I think standing up for myself is important, I think standing up for others is more important, but standing WITH others is MOST important.  I promise to do my part…..“  It really is time that we stand together as fellow human beings with the same needs and the same dreams.   Albert Einstein said: “The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or in a hostile universe.”
