Day 9: All Personal Breakthroughs Begin with a Change in Beliefs

Sep 28, 2010

I’ll be the first to admit that I really don’t have many beliefs. Do I believe in G-d? Not necessarily, but I do believe that something is out there, a higher being, what? I couldn’t describe to you, just that I know it’s there. I do believe in karma. I believe that what we do in our lives, shapes the karma that follows us. Not necessarily that what goes around, comes around, rather that our intent shapes the outcome of what we get back. Does that make sense?

For a long time I felt that I had to have a belief– more precisely I had to have belief that others recognized and then I realized as I grew older that no one else mattered. That I myself had to find a belief that I was comfortable with and accepted which is why I have a strong connection with Paganism. There are no set standards, no rules that you HAVE to follow. YOU decide what you’re comfortable with, how far you want to delve into the belief and you’re not faulted for your choice.

I belief that everyone should have a choice and no one should ever feel obligated to follow something they don’t want to because it’s what is expected of them. Men were born of freewill, those in the United States were born with the freedom to choose– are you really going to stand there and squander it because of what is expected of you? When there are countless others in the world subjected by tyranny, willing to die to be in your place?

Your beliefs should be of your choosing, so before you decide what path you want to follow, look within yourself and ask “Am I doing this for me? Or for someone else?” Your answer will tell you everything you need to know.
