Some of our beliefs originate from our old stories and are simply thoughts we keep alive by continuing to believe them. Many of the beliefs we think about most don't serve us at all, and can actually be detrimental to our prosperity, while keeping us locked in a perpetual cycle of events where we feel powerless.
Yet, we can jump right off that whirligig if we want and take our lives in any direction we choose. It's up to us to stop chasing our tails. Blaming outward for our circumstances is a symptom of unconsciousness. We're not understanding first, that our beliefs greatly influence our experiences and secondly, that we hold the power to change them.
