Belief

Been reading a lot about personal growth lately. It is amazing that even in the plethora of stuff out there, so much of it reinforces the sort of behaviour patterns that seven year olds have. The sort of behaviour that is learned when you are making sense of a very foreign and weird world from the eyes of a self absorbed child ('cause without the benefit of experience and wisdom, they are the only eyes they know). The common belief that others keep you from being the person you are is exactly the same as a four year old saying that the parent made them upset - that they made them feel a certain way.

No one makes you do anything. No one keeps you from being anyone. No one else is to blame. It is always a choice you make, a belief you have, a projection you create. This belief becomes your reality. A very good friend of mine summed it up the other day: does the belief you have serve you? If it does then good... use it, if it doesn't then let it go. It doesn't have to be right, or wrong. It just is. But remember, belief creates your reality, it sculpts your perception. You can't force it on others. The best thing you can do is hack your reality through belief to be the person you want to be. Not the one that you think others want you to be or the one they think you are. Look at what you can give to the world not at what you can get from it. In short, be free.

And always, always remember that each day is a meer blessing, another drop of water on the extended tongue of Suricata-the-wise, master of the multiverse in all its forms...
