From a slave to a master chapter # 40 - Discover Yourself, check your beliefs

A Memoir

As I have written in previous articles the key of beliefs is extremely important for reality creation. Here, you can identify some of the beliefs that govern your way of action in life. These beliefs are the fundamental stances that create your reality. When you identify a belief that you find personally impeding, you may want to uproot it in the ways I have explained and then to replace it with a more appropriate one.

I deliberately included some world-views that seem to be not related to relationships because sometimes it is easier to identify impeding beliefs from a neutral perspective.
