hmmm.
what a list.
all beliefs.
ALL
only real if we believe them to be.
our lives are stacked on belief.
they shape us
mold us
create the very lens we see our lives thru.
what if you tossed your belief glasses
and
chose a new color?
what if you spun everything you believe
UPside Down?
they are
after all
ONLY BELIEFS!
that doesn’t mean they are real.
yep.
that doesn’t mean they are real.
‘What do you MEAN?!’ you say.
yep.
question all of it.
what really is ‘good’ or ‘bad’?
right or wrong?
all only a product of our beliefs
which are a product of our experiences.
that’s all.
challenge them.
consider another way.
consider that EVERYTHING you feel to be true
is
actually NOT.
i’m gonna stop right here
right now
because the earth just dropped out from under you.
now
what are you standing on?
what the hell?
stand on flexibility.
stand on intuition.
stand in flow.
stand IN now.
swim to the other side of your beliefs and come up for new air.
