Beliefs


As I was doing research on how to properly form a mission statement, I came across this question: 

What beliefs do I hold to be true?

Many, I will list as many as I can here:

• my personal success and decisions are solely dependent on myself
• live a life free of blame
• suffering should be avoided at all costs if not necessary
• I should be the first to make a positive change and not wait for others
• make the most of blessings and resources that we have
• judge by facts & evidence - not assumptions
• should be grateful for what we have
• only we can love & understand  ourself in a way nobody else can
• don't judge yourself for things out of your control

• we were all given certain talents for a reason
• can't expect new results doing same old things
• there exists a creator, and all creation has an important role &  purpose
• nothing is by coincidence
• I never regretted doing something truly good for myself, others, or creating something that I wanted to create out of inspiration.
• there is no such thing as one soulmate, relationships are ultimately a rational decision
• what goes around comes around
• there is no shame in doing your best
• don't judge a person until you've walked in their shoes
• self-respect is not selfish
• let faith & wisdom lead life - not fear
• live life like everyday is your last - because one day you'll be right
• it is not just a belief when you know it is true
• can't complain about the results until you've tried all your possible options
• little things add up to be big things
• nothing comes without a price; choose wisely
• money is like water
• growth is not meant to be comfortable
• Talk The talk, Walk The Walk
• some things are easier said than done
• better coward alive than a hero dead
• we are more influential than we can imagine
• emotions lie/facts don't
• the soul should be in control of the body and not vice-versa
• History has a tendency to repeat itself
• The best way to reconstruct the future, is by reconstructing the present and learning from the past
• Quantity does not equal Quality (Quantity ≠ Quality)
• The Creator has one truth that exists for all people, religion is selectively man-made by specific groups of people.
• There is one truth, but many ways of perceiving that one truth.
• Se há vida, há esperança 
(If there is life, there is hope)

and many more I may or may not list on here later.....

Tying a Bow

Tying a Bow 
~ lessons to learn

The other day I was met again with my lifetime struggle of learning to tie a bow in just the right way, 
with just the right motions, just the right amount of gentle yet assertive tug to complete the bow's strength & overall appeal... 
and something came to me,  the discipline necessary to tie this simple bow... 
reminds me of the discipline necessary in life to accomplish each day to day, or the saying "easier said than done."
The positive news is that over time and with experience we learn techniques to better manage something that yesterday was new.
