Even empowering beliefs will, at some point, become dis-empowering beliefs.

If you believe, for example, that you're a great writer, but the "universe" (or the deeper you) also thinks you'd make a great speaker, suddenly your belief that you are a great writer is in conflict. “I'm a writer, not a speaker.”

All beliefs, left unchecked, will, at some point, render us impotent, which is why we must be willing to consistently challenge them.

We need to find a way to go "beyond" belief.

Socrates told us, “Know thyself.” This means we KNOW who we are, and are unencumbered by beliefs about who we are.
