The Reality Within: Everything is Your Own Reflection

    Our reality is the result majority of our own beliefs. The way we see things is a belief. How we decide to things is based on our belief. How we act, what we speak are basically glimpses of our own beliefs.

    Our belief is a combination of thoughts and feelings. Some are created by oneself while some are inherited and learned from the people we are closed with. Normally, what our parents believed are being passed to us during our childhood. They are our first teachers and they play an important factor in our lives by being our role models. The first meanings we relate to everything we saw as a child are the meanings our parents have taught us, directly or indirectly. For a child's perception is limitless, they can learn as many as they can more than what adults can do. This is the reason why childhood is said to be the programming stage of life because ideas and meanings just flow through the mind and yet there are no limiting beliefs that may hinder these thoughts to enter. However, these beliefs we accumulated as a child may not continue to stay as it is, some may change and some may be disowned. As we grow older and as we meet more people in our lives, the possibility of acquiring new beliefs increases. How we perceive things may vary from what most people in our circle think and feel, by always being in-touch with people who have different perspectives.
