The Beginning

There are two things that determine the kind of life we lead. The first is where and how we are born, i.e., the time period, family situation, physical characteristics (gender, handicaps, etc). Once we are born, the second thing that determines how our life progresses is our belief system. Simply stated, what we believe determines how we live. Until you understand and accept that fact, you will be a product of your beliefs without even realizing it. What does this mean? It means that whether you are rich or poor, healthy or ill, happy or forlorn, what you believe has caused these experiences.
