YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE

So we say that we love guns, diamonds, honor and titles, war movies-- All well and good. Nothing wrong with that, basically. But we do know that personal preferences reflect what or who we are in huge measure. This translates in the toothpaste we use, in our choice of houses - cars - clothes - recreation - places - food - friends - careers - games - religion - even in disputes or wars.

I have a good friend who believes in commitment --- and another who believes in the idea of giving back ‘an eye for an eye’. The first one comes out as a solid no-nonsense serious individual who makes good his word in every encounter or turn in life. The second is one vengeful ruthless unforgiving person who thinks and behaves with his defenses on, 24/7. The beliefs they have espoused in life does make them who they are --- good or bad.

People will see us as we project our thoughts. To them, accordingly we would appear as serious, flighty, nonsensical, frivolous, respectable, decent, perverted, tyrannical, irrational, prejudiced, good-for-nothing, straight, irresponsible, kindhearted, or wise. Our persona is the sum total of everything that goes into our heads, processed and lived. What we think or believe – is what we truly are.

On a matter, thinking and believing may be the same but not wholly the same. There's a small line which separates one from the other but they do live together as very close cousins. It's all up to you to know the difference.

So there's a wee bit good or bad in the choices that we make or the thoughts that we espouse. The choice is ours where to take it. So then careful what you think, but be more careful what you believe. So what do you believe? Ask your heart.
