Belief

Live by what you believe so fully that your life blossoms, or else purge the fear-and-guilt producing beliefs from your life. When people believe one thing and do something else, they are inviting misery. If you give yourself the name, play the game. When you believe something you don't follow with your heart, intellect, and body, it hurts. Don't do that to yourself. Live your belief, or let that belief go. If you are not actively living a belief, it's not really your belief, anyway."
Roger John

Do you practise what you preach? Do you even know what you really beleive? We have so many beleifs that come from our childhood and we are so familiar with them that we don't even notice them any more. We can't see the contradictions that are often there between our different beleifs or how inaccurate they are. We can't see how they do us a great disservice, making our lives miserable. It takes a lot of courage and persistance to really notice them.

Sometimes you will intellectually beleive one thing and on a deeper level beleive it's opposite, and the deeper unconscious level will always win out whenever you have to act on a beleif. Most of us don't understand that just because you intellectually know something doesn't mean you beleive it or will act on it when the situation arises. It is then, your actions, that show the world what you really beleive. This is why people will always judge you by your actions over by what you tell them.

Since it hurts when you beleive something but do something else, it makes sense to make sure that what you beleive is what you really want to do. If your beleif drives you to actions that hurt you, let that beleif go. Find and nurture a beleif that drives you to actions that benefit you; drive it deep into your unconscious so that it will indeed guide your actions. Don't hurt yourself by living a lie, or by living a painful truth.
