Belief.
What is it?
Belief is simply a thought that is believed in.
We all have beliefs. I have too. I had many in the past. Some I strongly held onto.
When I look back on my strong beliefs, which I had believed in with my full conviction, I have realised they are not serving me today. In fact, I can remember many such strong beliefs that I now have exactly opposite take on.
The persistent observation of my strong beliefs has led me to realise that my beliefs have consistently failed me.
Seeing this has exposed the futility of holding them so tightly.
I hear you say “But sometimes working on something with a strong belief can lead to great things!” Yes, it may be so.
A thought without belief has no power. A thought with a belief can start a war.
Whatever your beliefs, they may serve you for a while, but not forever.
Even your favourite belief, you cannot sustain forever.
It rises and one day, will subside in oblivion, just like any other thought.
