How do You Feel About Sex?

Do you believe that God invented sex?

Do you believe that sex is part of being spiritual?

Do you believe that you can be spiritual and still have an active sex life?

Do you believe that people who have sex out of wedlock are bad people?  If so, do you believe that it is okay to place judgement on someone for the way they choose to live their life?

Do you believe that it is possible to celebrate God through sexual expression?

Chances are your beliefs about sex came into being when you were a very young child, probably around the age of 5 years old.  Can you remember what you were told?  At that age you weren't in a position to argue, so you just locked in your little new mind what you were being told as a truth and that became your belief.

But now you are older, wiser and more experienced.

Pull out those beliefs that you have been walking around with and look at all of your experiences in life.  Do those beliefs still work for you?  Or is now a good time to create new beliefs about sex?

Do You Have Secret Beliefs?

Do you believe things that you don't publicly admit?

Do you secretly believe in capital punishment but don't tell your friends or anyone that you know about your belief?

Do you secretly believe that over-weight people or less educated then slim people?

Do you secretly believe racist thoughts?

Now is the time to think about what you secretly believe, the beliefs that you share with no one.

Do you think you could live an authentic life if you secretly believed something but said something else to the people you know?

Are you afraid of communicating your secret beliefs?

If so, why?

Do you believe you will be shunned or ridiculed for your secret beliefs?

Maybe you could ask a friend about your secret belief?  Wouldn't it be wild if everyone were walking around with the same secret belief, but never told anyone?

What do you Believe about Being Spiritual?

Do you believe that being spiritual means long-suffering martyrdom?

Do you believe that being spiritual means practicing forms of spiritual extremism?

Do you believe that you could be spiritual without any spiritual rituals?

Write down your answers.

Now look at your actions in association with each of the questions.

Do your actions of being spiritual reflect those of someone who believes that being spiritual means long-suffering martyrdom?

Do your actions of being spiritual reflect those of someone who believes that being spiritual means practicing forms of spiritual extremism?

Do your actions reflect that you are spiritual without performing any spiritual rituals?

It's true "Actions speak louder than words".

Your actions are where your belief is.

Do You Believe that You are Worthy?

Do you believe that you are worthy of God's help?

You may say "yes".

Do your actions reflect your response?

Let's look at your actions; do you ask for God's help?  When was the last time you asked for his help? If you can't remember the last time you asked or aren't sure that you asked, does that mean that possibly subconsciously you believe and/or feel that you might not deserve his help?

Are you subconsciously harboring feelings of low spiritual self-worth?

If you are unsure about what you believe or feel, now is a great time to create a new belief / feeling about your deservedness of God's help.

Do You Believe in the Power of Prayer?

Think back to when you were a child. What were you told about praying?

Were you told that prayers were ways of bartering, i.e. Give me this and I'll be good.?

What kind of prayer do you believe in?

Do you believe that you can say a prayer in your own words and that it is just as powerful as a traditional prayer like The Lord's Prayer?

What have been your experiences with praying?

Do your experiences match up with what you were taught as a child?

Think about what you were taught as a child, look at your personal experience with praying and now is a great time to create new beliefs about praying.

With Love & Light ~

Do You Believe in God?

Think back to when you were a child and first heard of God?

Do you remember how you felt?

Were you told that God was a horrible man who punishes us for our sins?

Were you told that God was all loving and very forgiving?

Looking at your experience in life, do you feel that what you were told about God, as a child, is what you really believe now?

If your experience has shown you something different than what you were told as a child then it is might be time for you to adjust your belief about God.

What Do You Believe Your Story Is?

We all have a story about ourselves that we tell others.  Usually it's a story we believe about ourselves.

What's your story?

When you talk about yourself what do you say?

How do you describe yourself?

Do you say that you are smart?

Do you say that your life is hard?

Write down what you believe is your story about your life.

Look at it.

Imagine that you have died.  You are floating around in the sky and you are given the story that you have written about your life.  How do you feel?

Now is a great time to rewrite your story.  Make it a good one. Make sure that when you imagine that you have died and you are reading your story, you will feel as if you had a life worth living.

Taylor Hicks Believes in the Power of Believing

In Taylor Hick's book Heart Full of Soul, Hicks writes about how former President Bush's advice to Hicks and his band was for them to stick to their beliefs and holding onto those beliefs even as they celebrity grew.

In the last chapter of his book, Hicks tells what he believes:

He believes in karma;

He believes that good things happen to good people who do good things;

Taylor Hicks tells his readers, "Believe in yourself. Believe in your soul." "If you believe in yourself, anything that comes your way - good, bad, or really ugly - can't knock you too far off track.  Believing in yourself is the thing - sometimes the only thing - that will carry you through any situation."

Taylor Hicks truly believed that he possessed what it took to be an entertainer. That belief, along with dedication and hard work, helped him become the 5th season winner of American Idol.
