A little story

A little story first

This is a story about you, about your life.

The day you were born, you arrived with a clean slate, a mind as pure as nature. Sure there was a little pre-programming in your DNA, but nothing that couldn’t be changed if you had the will to do so.

You grew up listening to all the beliefs, all the programming of your parents, your family, your school teachers, the media, your peers and everyone else who had some sort of influence over you. Gradually over time your beliefs became solid rocks and you believed what you believed, thinking it was your own beliefs, prejudices, principles, rules of life, and values. Then one day you start to question one of your own beliefs, and this is the day that something magical happens: you realise that your reality is not really your own, it’s been created by what you believe. Then something even more magical happens: you realize that you can change your beliefs.

You start to look at the world differently asking yourself what you would truly like to believe about yourself, about the world, about the people in your life.

Then, life gets in the way. You forget about that magical power and get busy with life: going to school, getting an education, getting a job, meeting someone, raising a family.

Then as you get older you start to feel the pull of the magic again, and start to question life.

You’re in a cycle: the cycle of life. You were born to find your purpose in life and you might feel, ‘It’s too late now’, but it’s never too late, never!

The first lesson
The very first lesson to rediscover the real you is to peel away all the layers that you have covered yourself with. You need to get to the core of who you are and then take appropriate action. Drop the masks you have worn all your life, drop the person you have pretended to be over the years and finally let go, and then – well, then you see what happens.
