I Believe

By Dawn Thebarge

I believe I am able to help others.

I believe I am part of the whole of nature and that all things in nature are interconnected.

I believe in order to be whole as a person that I must maintain balance and be the person that I was meant to be.

I believe that all of us are able to use our abilities to alter our destiny.

I believe in being honest.

I believe in being direct.

I believe in acting with honor.

I believe in never limiting the freedom of another either physically or mentally.

I believe in fulfilling anything for which I take responsibility.

I believe that anything I do for the good of another will be returned to me if given with an open heart and with out the expectation of any return.

I believe that anything I do in a negative way to another will also be returned to me.Anything that is done to me will return to the bearer as well without my interfering.

I believe that I am capable of protecting myself from the ill intentions of others with out harming them.

I believe that it is vital to send love and light to all that come into contact with me and that means I should not ever let my ego guide my thoughts, actions or my feelings.

I believe in a higher power.

I believe that this power has manifested itself into all that is known and unknown in the universe.

I believe this power has an equality of opposites and they must exist to some extent in every single thing. Where there is good there is evil, where there is dark there is light, where there is life there is death, where there is male there is female. Therefore, I believe that there exists no completely and wholly evil entity or entities.

I believe that humanity is as diverse as nature and that all people are part of that diversity and shall be treated with dignity and respect no matter their race, creed, religious affinity, sexual preference, appearance or culture even if it differs from my own.

I believe it is each individual's right and responsibility to find their own path and that I have no right to hinder another in their quest so long as they harm neither myself or another, even if I do not agree with their views.

I believe by the same token I have the responsibility to help any one who questions me or seeks my assistance along their path to the best of my ability.

I believe in being thankful for all the things that I have been given in this lifetime and all the lessons that I have learned. At the same time I am thankful for all that will come and all that will be learned so that one day I may return to the higher power.

I believe I should strive to know myself.

I believe I should become attuned with the cycles of nature.

I believe I should celebrate life daily.

I believe I should celebrate the divine each day.

I believe that learning never stops.

I believe in giving and taking fairly.

I believe I should set out to become the best person I possibly can.

I believe that the right way is not usually the easiest way.

I believe the most important and valuable tool I own is my mind.

I believe that life is sacred.
