Are Your Beliefs Helping You?

Everything we have created in our world is based on our beliefs about ourselves and those around us, and what is right and wrong and what is expected of us by God and others.

So what is a belief?

The definition is very simple. A belief is information or an idea you have learned that you choose to think over and over again.

Here is the shocking fact about beliefs. Simply because people believe certain information does not make the information automatically true or accurate.

When information or ideas become beliefs it only means the information was thought repetitively by the believers, not that the information is true.

The biggest danger in our world is not questioning our beliefs, but the assumption we have all the answers. The danger is not in the possibility of new information but the inclination to run from it. The danger is not in dramatically new ideas about life and our Creator but trying to create a better life with the same old ideas.
