Well said! It is so true that we limit ourselves with only our own beliefs. It can seem like the limits are being imposed from outside us, and truly the conditioning to have these particular beliefs was. But we each face this challenge of choosing our own beliefs no matter which ones were trained into us.
When we share reminders like this post with each other, we help each other do exactly that. Thanks for this great post, and the poem.
So true too, @indigoocean; and it is a reminder to myself as well (wired into the steem blockchain forever). It's so much about being aware enough in the moment to take back our power to choose from the monotony of beliefs we've wired into ourselves by repetitiously thinking the same limiting thoughts over and over again; and the more we choose to do that and focus our thinking on our preferred outcome, the more we wire those new beliefs into us that are more in line with who we really and truly prefer to be. Here's a little more poetry I've dabbled in writing which relates some.
We each get to choose to be free
To be true to our own heartfelt “me”
In being the artist who is also the art
Created by our self of the all as just a part
All inside our own YOUniversal me
Where we conceive
Our own "WE Within Me"
And project its perceptions outward to see
On all the other expressions of our One whole We.
