The two best questions to ask when inquiring into our belief system, are: 1) What I'm hoping to gain by holding on to this idea? 2) What are the consequences of believing this way? Sometimes, what we hope to gain and what we really get are not the same, often the result is the complete opposite of what we were hoping to get. Like hoping to survive could robs us of the chance to live fully now. Pete > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
