On belief and looking at another year.

So the year is winding down. One more week and lots of change has happened in the previous fifty. From one where big ideas and lots of faith kinda paid off. One where belief in a higher power has helped me to see and understand that this here life is full of possibilities, especially for those who believe.
So what do we have to believe in? Everything, and nothing.
First we have to believe in ourselves. Yea the voices in our heads are saying that we are great. We must believe that above the doubt and doubters. We must believe that we are competent at at least one thing. Don't believe the words of doubt. Do believe in infinite possibility.

Second believe that if we want to accomplish anything, we can get it done. This is easier done than said. A lot of energy is wasted trying to convince your self that you can't jump over th hurdle. Just jump. If you fall you get up and keep running. Failure is an option. Quiting isn't.

Third, there will be screw ups. Murphy's law and I paraphrase: shit must happen. Therefore in the plans allow twenty percent for: miscalculation, haters, the man, and incompetent humans. These are natural factors of living on our planet. And if you don't budget for them you can only expect eighty percent. See why over achievers put in one hundred and twenty percent? If this statement makes you feel overwhelmed, consider the above three paragraphs. And believe. Everyone can do anything they believe they can do. If you want to get it done you will get it done.

Maybe I should stop numbering now. Next, pray. Whether you pray to the God of the christians, or the gods of the greeks, hell the sun god, or the lack of a God, pray. Prayer is a way of admitting that " although I am awesome I am nothing without the influence of a greater power. My human shell is not powerful enough to accomplish 120 percent. And by myself I can't pass with nothing greater than a C. Prayer makes us have hope, and makes others feel obligated to help us. Prayer makes realize that it is okay to ask for help. Prayer makes us realize that it is okay to fall. It makes us diminish the ego.
Finally prayer urges us to believe.

Be thankful for what you have. When you are thankful for what you have, you begin to see that you could be worse, or worst off. Be thankful, and then work for more.

So these are the lessons that I learned. References to you or us, were the lessons that I learned. I am sure the can work for everyone.
