Your Beliefs

Everyone believes something. People are good, people are bad. The world is a nice place, or the world is dangerous. I am strong and capable, or I am weak and a failure.

How do we come to believe the things we do? Ask yourself this question. Did you at one time believe in Santa? Do you still believe in Santa? If not, how and when did you change that belief? Do you believe your parents? Do you believe the things you were taught in school?

One of the many problems all people face today is the fact that people’s beliefs are often based on anything but facts. We are bombarded by media, and we no longer know what is true, and what information we can trust. At this point, in the US, 80% of young people say they rely on social media for news? Does this bother you? Are you one of those people?

Why is this important now? It’s important because all across the globe, masses of people are taking violent action against members of their adversary groups, based on beliefs that have no foundation in truth or facts. People are being hurt by the actions of others, who are ignorant and impulsive, and strongly believe they have a duty to punish people they identify as evil, once again, based on lies and disinformation.

Are you asking yourself what you believe and on what basis you believe it? Are you clear about your reasons for your choices in your personal life? If things are not going well for you, and you are wondering why you make questionable decisions, it may be time to take a hard look at what you believe and why you believe it.
