Belief: we all have long established belief systems, programs or memories that were installed in our childhood concerning just about everything. We may have had some education or travel opportunities that challenged our beliefs or we continued unchallenged far in adulthood. The system was working out fine and we had not felt moved to change. Then one day, we see, feel or hear something that rocks our world.
Don't you find it amazing that we let life go on, we just carry on doing what we do, without a thought about why, what or how we are doing it? Some things are simply second nature, and we don't think twice about how it is working for us, until we are challenged in some way. Once challenged, we are startled "Oh I never thought of it that way before," and there is a glimmer of light.
We are open, we noticed, we are thinking a different way, we are seeing differently. This is a great day! To my mind there is nothing better than being opened up, to realize that all is not as it seems. Think of all the possibilities. Things are not what they used to be, everything is bright, shiny and new. This is just the beginning of awareness. Awareness is the key, a change of attitude opens up a whole new world for you.
The belief system that has kept you going all this time is being questioned, opening a door to the unknown. It is exciting, maybe a little scary to look beyond the door and embrace a new way of thinking; but worth it. If you have been locked in with your beliefs all your life, you have taken the first step toward change...... awareness.
"The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness" Lao Tzu
