What Do You Believe?

Good morning!

Often my mother told her children that “God is not in a building. He is in our hearts.” Of course, the above statements don’t minimize any buildings or religions. But, our actions stem from what we believe at our core and not solely on what we profess. As my mother says, “we can fix our mouths to say anything.” But, our heart speaks our actual state (Matthew 12:34).

So, what are your beliefs about humanity, purpose, life and it’s meaning, children, marriage, and parenting?

Whatever we believe shows in our actions and words. And, if something isn’t in alignment with our beliefs, we analyze and weed out any behaviors and thoughts that don’t match our core beliefs.

Your beliefs will govern:

1. How you take care of your body (the foods you eat, activities, sleep, and life-work balance)

2. The thoughts you meditate on.

3. How you treat someone unlike yourself.

4. How you continually act after a disappointment or expectation unmet.

5. How you approach educating, empowering, and inspiring your children and others.

6. How you treat children, your wife, husband, or significant other.

Everything we do stems from our core beliefs. Can beliefs change? Yes, they can, especially if you believe your thoughts can.

May I interject that pain can be your greatest teacher if you allow it? Now, let go of those emotions and feelings and ask yourself, do you want anyone else feeling that way?

Keywords#hearthealth #emotionalhealing #generationalhealing #persongrowth #motherswordsofwisdom #forgiveness.Each of us has to decide how we will protect our hearts. I share how one of my mother’s words of wisdom from my book, The Inner Garden, can help us lessen the “weeds”—the persistent negative emotions that can taint our purpose.Takeaways1. Storms are an opportunity to gain clarity about our experiences. We can choose to see them from a healthier, more grounded perspective.2. Persistent negative habits can slowly work against us from the inside out. An inner decline often begins long before anything becomes visible on the outside.3. Whatever remains in the dark will eventually come to light. We have both the power and the divine right to correct our persistent patterns of thinking and behavior.For continued support in cultivating harmony, health, and peace, check out my eBook: The Inner Garden 53 Life Principles Rooted in a Mother's Wisdom for Cultivating Harmony, Health, and Inner Peace.
