Developing your own belief system as you mature

Developing your own belief system as you mature

Most of our most memorable moments are felt within, or when we are alone. The reason for this statement is that the older we get, specific emotions are really internalized. They are pasted in our memory as prolific moments. The experiences that brought about these emotions are never erased from our minds and it is these experiences that change our frame of mind, build or tear down character, overall, it is at those moments when u can actually feel a change in your soul.

The emotions/moments that I am referring to, may be moments of true happiness, depression, betrayal, anger, pain or even anguish. . The fact is life can change your mind,as u move on ,as you tend to meet diiffernt situations,people,places and many more ..as u grow the way we take things,handle situations changes too.

Our mind is a hub that houses our values, thoughts, u know the rest. I mention values as our value system is also our belief system. Values are taught many sociologists say, but are they really? Do we still practice all the things our parents tried to instill in us. No, instead we were busy living life and making our own rules to live by, and our experiences served as the basis for what we believed in. Sure we all may have a bit of our parents in us, but whats real is that we make our own values to pass on to our kids at the end of the day.

Too often we blame people associated with our past, our families ,friends ,education,etc. as the reason why we haven’t grown, why we have nothing to say when asked. We say nothing because many of us will stand on “I learned it all from you, so if you don’t like it you have nobody to blame but yourself”. That is a very lame excuse and we should be able to stand our ground with as much of a belief system that we have developed over the years. As we age we become stronger, have learned so much more and are able to balance what others throw our way, grasping tightly those ideas that have meaning and a ring of truth and disposing of those that cause depression, rejection and ultimately silence.

This being said as we find ourselves in this world, as we get older, as we mature spiritually (internally), it is best to some profound values to live by, stand for something, as we have too much to lose if we don’t. To explain, maturing is not simply getting older, it is BUILDING CHARACTER. It has a lot to do with what your varied experiences..challenges ,compromises , your own contribution as a human being..and ability to live by your own … , that life changes your mind. Life develops our belief system and a positive belief system aids us in being better individuals. We all need something to live by, some character and finding oneself does that.

Character is having a belief system that assures you that you will not compromise who you are within for anything. It helps you classify the trivialities in this life, and know what is most important to you. Without character there is no maturity. We need something to stand for and believe in. It tells us that our conscience is active, that we have heart, and it motivates us.

In conclusion developing a belief system is natural as we get older. It is what we believe in that makes the difference. That is what is important.

Let us all remember that life transformation is rooted in mind transformation.
