What Is True?

What we believe, becomes our reality when we believe without a doubt.
What we believe is important to our inner peace and conviction.
What we believe is a guidepost to provide focus and direction for our life.
What we believe is our Truth and our Way and our Life.

When we believe in Good, we see Goodness.
When we believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we live these values.
When we believe in any one or more of the great spiritual teachings, we try to live ethically.
When we believe in any product or process, we tend to teach it and share it.

What is true for you may not be “true” for me.
I have the freedom to try to “sell” you on my belief.
You have the right to deny my belief and sell me on yours.
This process of convincing the other may become a disagreement, a fight and then a way.

Is there benefit or harm in trying to convince others of your “truth” or your “belief”?
Does it do more harm than good to make others beliefs wrong?
Is it beneficial to stay attached to position with judgment and righteousness?
Can you really convince another or merely undermine their beliefs?

When someone believes in their medicine, it works for them.
When someone believes in another’s Goodness, they support the good in that person.
When someone believes in themselves and their worth, to criticize or condemn may cause harm.
When someone believes in their leader, parent or doctor, to undermine their belief may be destructive.

Consider the beliefs of a child that cause curiosity, wonderment, joy and delight.
Consider the beliefs of a devout spiritual seeker that may give them faith, hope and Love.
Consider the beliefs of a physically challenged person, their beliefs may give them strength and courage.
Consider the beliefs of a country facing disaster or economic distress, determination may bring success.

The truth is unique for each one.
What is fact is not what we perceive.
Perhaps the facts interfere with what is possible.
Perhaps there is no certainty in what has been, but only in what is possible to create.

Is there an ultimate Truth?
Is reality what we see or what we believe?
Is our experience based on what others know or on what we believe?
Are we capable of choosing the outcome we want, simply with our belief?

I have learned to listen carefully within before I challenge or offer another perspective.
I am guided to write these loving reminders, trusting that they will be used for Good.
I recognize that I am constantly open to other perceptions of Reality and Truth?
I trust that as long as what you believe is important and works for you, it is good for you.

My work is to listen within and open to the Highest Truth and Good for all.
I believe in You and Your intrinsic Goodness and your right to believe as you do.


Loving you,
