Living your beliefs

Don’t be content to merely believe the truth. Seek to experience it for yourself.

Your belief may be strong and unwavering. Yet there is a difference between belief and certainty.

Reach that certainty by living your beliefs, by continually putting them into practice. Solidify your understanding of the truth by experiencing its essence for yourself.

It can be interesting and stimulating to speculate about what might or might not be true, what might or might not happen, what might or might not work. What’s much more powerful, though, is to know for sure.

Take what you’ve been told, what you’ve come to believe, as a starting point. Then take it further by discovering its truth for yourself.

Honor your trust, your faith, your belief by transforming it all, through your actions, into certainty. Truth rises to a whole new level when it comes to life in you.
