We Choose Our Beliefs

Today, I want to talk to you about the power of choice and how it relates to your beliefs. As a follower of Jediism, I recognize that the path we choose is ours to determine. We have the freedom to choose our beliefs, and it is up to us to ensure that they align with our true selves.

It can be challenging to separate our beliefs from the expectations and norms of society. We may be influenced by the opinions and beliefs of others, without examining if they align with our values and desires. We may also be exposed to constant messaging and advertising that attempts to shape our beliefs without our consent.

I believe we must challenge ourselves to examine our beliefs and ensure they align with our true selves. We must take ownership of our beliefs and not simply accept those handed down to us by family, society, or culture. When we don’t examine our beliefs, we risk living a life that is not authentic and true to ourselves.

I challenge you to take on three beliefs and examine them with a critical eye. First, consider the belief that marriage should be monogamous. Where did that belief come from? Is it congruent with your values and desires, or is it a societal norm that you have simply accepted?

Next, consider the belief in ghosts and how it aligns with what you think happens when you die. Is this belief something that you truly believe, or is it something that has been handed down to you without question?

Finally, think about the belief of who should pay for the first date. Is this something that you believe, or is it a societal norm that you have simply accepted without examining if it aligns with your values and desires?

When we examine our beliefs and take ownership of them, we can live a life that is true to ourselves. We have the power of choice, and it is up to us to ensure that our beliefs align with our true selves.

May you feel the presence of the Force through this journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.
