Answer this question: Who am I? Better yet, what is my belief?
Really think about it. We are all born into a religion, or a belief system. As we become older, we get to choose what it is we believe in. Take a look at different religions and cultures and decide what works for you. Decide who you are now. Maybe you create your own religion of sorts. Perhaps, a meditation practice is something that will assist you in making the decision. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people say, ‘I can’t meditate.’ Look at that statement. They’ve already decided they cannot do it. Yes, you can meditate. How many times a day do you do a meditative activity? It’s anything repetitive for a period of time such as dishes, vacuuming, folding clothes, sweeping, moping, planting foliage, taking a walk, painting, writing, working out at the gym and the list goes on. Take note of thoughts that occur while doing those types of activities. I have always said to lie down in your bed to meditate so that you are able to be comfortable. However, some people may be more comfortable sitting up. Meditation music is helpful. You may start out meditating for five minutes one day and then work yourself up to at least 20 minutes daily. Going to classes to learn more about your new way of life allows you to be with like-minded people. The classes do not have to be about growing your psychic gifts, which ultimately assists in spiritually growing and evolving. Maybe it’s a Bible study class or Satsang, still another place to receive knowledge. And as you grow to become who you are supposed to become, be prepared for your circle of people to change, either they will realign to who you have become, or they may leave your circle. The good news is you will meet others who will assist you to your next level. Most importantly keep to who you are. You put a lot of thought into discovering who you are; don’t allow others to dictate who you should be or try to drag you back to who you are no longer. It’s OK to re-evaluate who you are every now and again. You get to change as many times as you would like. Knowing who you are at any given point in life will assist in moving forward. Blessings of Peace and Love

👍 because the like button doesn't seem to work. "You put a lot of thought into discovering who you are; don’t allow others to dictate who you should be or try to drag you back to who you are no longer." is a great nugget of inspiration. I'm going to put it on a post-it and read it every morning.
