What is “Truth” and how does it relate to Self Improvement?

Good Morning and Welcome Back!!

How does one start on the road which leads to Self Improvement? I feel a lot can be said to examine what you believe to be true.

I have also come to the conclusion each of us has our own individual truth. On several occasions, I have read or heard the statement, “We are what we believe.”

What do you believe about yourself, about your immediate family members, your friends, your neighbors, your community, and/or your government? Are your beliefs rigid or do you consciously make an effort to expand the scope of your earlier beliefs?

What is the source of information that has formed [and continues to form] your beliefs? Is it by observation, i.e., people watching and personal experience, continuing education, browsing the Internet, television, movies, etc.?

All of this data, positive and negative, is absorbed into your belief system and directly affects your own version of “truth”; and, ultimately your thoughts and actions. Advertising is a prime example.

This is enough for now. In future blogs, I plan to offer thoughts defining some of the emotions that are the basis of the unwanted stress in our daily lives and how this can propel us onto the Road of Self Improvement.
