We are defined by our beliefs.
Beliefs guide our choices, choices dictate our actions, and this creates our reality.
In every moment -
We choose the red or the blue pill.
Carrots or candy,
Engagement or disassociation,
To use our hands to touch or build walls - to heal or harm.
We choose presence or projection,
Movement or stagnancy.
Nourishment or starvation
Water or dehydration,
Grace or judgment,
Passion or passivity,
To be connected or to insist how “right” we are.
We choose to be receptive or impermeable,
Veiled or transparent.
We choose conviction or indecisiveness,
To be committed or reticent
To leap or be pushed.
The beliefs we develop and our ability to choose is directly affected by the way we take care of ourselves. When we fill our minds with other people’s ideas/opinions and do not take the time to develop our own, when we fill our bodies with unhealthy food, drink and “medications,” when we deprive our bodies, minds and spirits of the basic elements of health - our beliefs, choices and actions reflect imbalance. Our beliefs about ourselves and the world may become disempowering and cynical, choices may seem limited, and healthy action may seem beyond our personal capability. We then make a choice to correct the imbalance or allow habit and coping mechanisms to prevent us from reaching our highest potential, individually and collectively.
In every moment we are at choice. What reality do you choose?
