reality and the edges surrounding it can be difficult to see. as children we are taught the values of whoever it is that raises us. some of it happens purposefully and some of it happens due to the cultural mores we absorb by osmosis. and, without as much as a conscious thought, they become our own.
then we grow up and begin to redefine who we are. sometimes more than once. but our basic ability to have the internal dialogue of deciding what we believe in and choosing to follow that belief is only possible because we first believed. something. anything.
being able to clearly define what you believe and why you believe it will help ensure that you stand strong in what it is you profess. so, today, i challenge you to verbalize your reality. find someone you trust and tell them.
why? because if you are not brave enough to say out loud what your reality is - what you believe - how in the world will you remember it when your character needs to rely on it?
I can really relate to this blog. My Grandmother basically raised me and alot of her moral and most of her ways rubbed off on me. Its amazing how i still do things as she taught me at such an early age. She taught me how to Cook, Clean, Sew, treat people as i wanted to be treated, how to love God and my enemy and how to have faith. While she was teaching me i didnt think that i would be thanking her one day. In fact there were times that i absolutly hated what she was taking me thru. But today my True core is only because of how i was raised. Dont get me wrong ive had my bouts and my ups and downs.. But over all I have always know what was right and wrong. For i seen my Grandmother Living those principles
