What Do You 'Know' or Believe---for Sure? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. Perspectives (2264)   ranked 16 out of 38,061 in life3 years ago

In a a world of rapidly changing ideas and ideals I wondered what beliefs anchor you? Do you have mental/emotional safeguards that are your 'for sures' in life? Is it family, friends, religion, faith in people?

Perhaps you have developed enough confidence in your own abilities to meet life's challenges head on? Or have you overcome enough already that you know no matter what happens...you will be all right? Could it be all of the above? Something else?

You certainly are a survivor and have overcome so much already. It sounds as if you believe in yourself and are a strong person. There is always hope my dear, especially when you hold on to the idea that anything you can believe...you can acheive.

I hope your continue along your healing journey and find everything you need to know to live your best life! Thanks for adding to the discussion.

I have been through enough in my life I think I can handle what ever comes my way. Have endured this long so guess I will make it longersometimes with the help of my family and friend


myLot reputation of 99/100. Perspectives (2264)   ranked 16 out of 38,061 in life  3 years ago

With the openness within your discussions and responses I would say you absolutely have shown that you have enough strenth and self-determination to handle whatever comes your way...with the help of family and friends. That is so true Lakota12, how would we make it through without them. I hope we never have to find out.

Take care, thanks for contributing again.

I "know" I love my kids. I "know" I will love them always no matter what.

I believe in God.
I believe in humanity.
I know everyone is different.
I believe it is wrong to be judgemental.
I know that my pet peeve about judgemental people is somewhat hypocritical. I'm judging them for being judgemental.
I believe most people do the best they can with the circumstances they have been put in.
I know life can suck.
I know life can be great.
I know we have to take the good with the bad and try to make the best of things.


I love your screen name, by the way.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Perspectives (2264)   ranked 16 out of 38,061 in life  3 years ago

Thanks for asking me to be included in your friends list...DONE! I did a quick check on your site and can tell we already have a lot in common and appreciate your acknowlegement of my screen name. I an a free lance writer and one of my companies is called Perspectives On Healthy Living...so it seemed like the right choice.

Now on to your response to the disssion. I love it...and many of your 'for sures' were what I was going to put down. I decided not to because I wanted to let others share their views...then add mine accordingly. Your absolutely honoring statement about 'believing people do the best they can with the circustances they are in' resonates strongly with my beleif systems too. I know you probably believe this too but I will say it anyway....'all change begins with awareness.' Until people have that..and are given some new skills to work with...they do keep doing what they know. Looking at life through that viewfinder explains why you have a hard time with judgemental people. Me too!

Your comments made my world feel like a warmer, fuzzier place this evening. Great to know you are out there...and I will add some responses to your site. You have some interesting talking points. Great sharing!

I have left this for a while to try to work out just what it is I do believe in. Well, it is that we are the human race, every one of us, we are all human beings with thoughts and emotions and no matter what barriers there seem to be between us, we really are all one big family of people. As with any family, there are good and bad, wise and foolish. Selfless and selfish. Every old woman we see is our grandmother, every young boy our son, all men are our fathers, brothers, uncles, all women our mothers, sister,daughters,aunts.
For me that makes life much easier to cope with. A cheeky boy is not a hooligan, he is my son who is having a moment of fun or a strop or has had a hard time today.
A rude woman is my mum having a bad day.
An old crotchety lady is my gran who is tired and needs a sit down and a cup of tea.
That is my belief. We are one family on a small rock floating through space and life is too short to be forever judging one another.

Oh mihimolly, thank you for putting a human face of the topic...in your inimitable writing style that I love.

I am glad you took some time to 'muse' on what you beleive...you have come up with an elequent way of expressing what I call the Onesong of our human connectedness. Personally I think you should put this in your computer and make sure it is copywrited...although you are okay because the time you posted it will be recorded on Mylot.

Anyway my friend you have a way of looking at the world that reminds me of my Mom. Her named was Edwina and everyone called her Winnie. When she passed away I compiled all the whimsical and beautiful life lessons I learned from her and called them 'Winnie's Wisdom.' Then I made copies and handed them out at her memorial.

As I read your wonderful 'perspectives' on life it would be great if you put all your Mihimolly Musings into a booklet and published them...it would be a gift to the world...just as what you write here is.

Thanks, once again you have given me an inner smile that warms the spirit. I hope you know how much I appreciate your regular visits to perspectives. Lately I have been busy keeping up with my responses before visiting friends sites. My owl and I will be back to fly around and respond to other sites soon as time permits. In the meantime nice to have you stop by here.
