Our
Beliefs sometimes cause us discomfort. The beliefs are established for a good
& positive reason to serve us in some way, shape or form. These are
basically lies made up or conditioned with to help us frame the way our world
looked at that time. Beliefs are not eternal
truths. Beliefs hold us safely until we are ready for the next level of
understanding. The discomfort happens when we refuse to let the
irrelevant/obsolete beliefs go and evolve beyond them. Hanging onto these
beliefs, believing that they are real & that they are true reality creates
suffering.
Life
is a continual process of renewal, recycling emotions & purging of old
beliefs that are causing suffering. Become aware of and isolate the beliefs/coping
skills that no longer serves, causes discomfort, realize the lie in it and set self
free of it.
The ego, our psyche,
separates us from one another. It is simply a tool that helps us organize the
various aspects of our personality to navigate the world. In this sense, the
ego is simply a way for us to understand & attend to ourselves at the same
time as we understand & attend to the world around us. It is healthy to
have ego, but like all things in life, ego functions best when it is in balance
& harmony with your whole self.
The problem arises when the ego gets out of control, holds us from realizing our true nature and becomes a threat. Nurture your awareness of who you really are to keep your ego in check, take the responsibility for living your own life. Do not spend time trying to undo what you have done. Rather, change what you are going to do before you do it.
Looking toward the
future remain relaxed & alert, listen carefully, pay attention to &
believe your inner voice that speaks to you with love, understanding, &
compassion, is encouraging, gives you hope & pushes you to trust &
believe in yourself, bolsters your spirits & urge you to go after your
dreams.
Inner conflict within
oneself is often caused by dueling voices inside each one of us. Listening and
believing in your true inner voice telling you about your value & your
potential, often the voice of understanding, support, & self-assurance helps
lessen & even resolve internal conflict. Disregard the voices that interfere
with your resolve to succeed, are judgmental, cause confusion, remind you of
past mistakes, or cause you to doubt yourself, make you feel ashamed & stop
being critical of your failures & afraid of success.
