RE: MADmusings #11: A message from a monk!
wise words. we tend to believe what others want us to believe - what they think is our personality and then we behave accordingly after some time. It is like telling a child that he is a fool, tell that ten times and the poor thing will believe it. So, we should not let others impose their beliefs on us. Thanks for writing about this.
Yeah, the poor kid's got no chance! That's what happens though, then we have to spend many years trying to sort it all out (not necessarily the 'fool' part but certainly imposed beliefs). Fortunately, as adults, we have the opportunity to figure it all out and act accordingly. We need to develop a strong self-awareness, in addition to a wider awareness and we can see things as they are… then it's showtime!
