Our beliefs make us who we are
“Oh my gosh! Does that mean we are predestined to live life as dictated by whoever set up our belief system in the first place?”
“Does that mean we can never change?”
No! Just look at all the people who were brought up with manners and kindness, kicked over the traces and took to a life of crime!
And look at all those who were brought up in a rigid religious structure, for example, and who’ve chosen to make their own beliefs to live by.
You, too
So you too can shake free of the beliefs that have formed your life so far - if you want to!
Lots of those beliefs will be good and useful and well worth keeping.
But what about those sneaky beliefs that tell you you can’t do stuff? Aren’t good enough? Can never change?
That belief that tells you you are …
A creature that moves
In predestinate grooves
Not a bus, not a bus,
But a tram
It may take an unaccustomed leap of the imagination to move from a feeling that you are stuck and can’t step off your path. That you can only move along the rails laid out for you by who??? - someone who isn’t you.
Diversity
Think of all the billions of people in the world. They’re made the same as you. But so many have a totally different belief system from yours.
They believe things that you wouldn’t believe in a month of Sundays.
And they don’t agree with what you see are the pillars of your life!
There’s room for all of us. And we can switch camp at any time! All it takes is a bit of creative thinking. Looking at things from a different angle, putting a different spin on things …
That’s what we get up to in Creativity Central! If you haven’t joined us already, get yourself over there fast and join the discussions.
There are people there who are looking for a new way of being, a new career or business - and there are people who don’t know (yet!) what they’re looking for: they just know they haven’t found it yet.
And that’s what I’d like to help you with - to focus on what it is you really want to achieve in this short life.
And how to get it!
