Which beliefs bring out the best in you?
Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?
Test your beliefs with as much objectivity
as you can bring to the subject.

or your communities opinions, rather than your own.

should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
