“Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of our belief system.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
Contrary to popular belief, it’s your beliefs that are shaping your life, my friend, not the other way around. Some beliefs work to your advantage and some beliefs don’t.
So think about the consequences of agreeing and believing as you are being led to believe before you embrace a concept completely and let it shape your life. As you listen to the news, as you talk with people, as you read anything, ask yourself, “Do I want to let this be my reality?”
If it doesn’t feel good, don’t take it on. Create a better alternative instead — adopt a different belief.
Imagine if we were to all consciously choose beliefs that uplift and empower ourselves and others. Isn’t that the kind of world you’d want to live in?
Don’t believe it could be that simple? Then start there with that belief and turn it around. What if it were that simple? It’s your life, my friend, you can make it heaven or hell.
