or The Process: How we help ourselves build our temple.

Bill Phillips: Life gives us a choice you can learn to overcome challenges or succumb to them.

There is a mechanism in our lives that determines everything we do, and even our destiny. This mechanism is involved in every aspect of our lives. There are some people that will say it the will of a higher power, and others call it fate, but it is more than that simple. As with all It can be a rite of passage, your life’s journey, a goal, an idea or even a dream, regardless of how small or big the endeavor the rules that control this mechanism are the same. It’s a process in motivation and self-determination. This process can be termed as goal setting, time management, finding your dreams, picking your self up, following your bliss, finding god, the Buddha self and simply recovery.

The Process is another way of stating how to motivate you. It also describes a way of building of a personal foundation. How to pick yourself or some else up after a traumatic event, and a way to end a depressing cycle in your life.

Three keys elements and the first step in this process are identifying personal beliefs, personal heritage, and personal surroundings. What do I believe? Who are you? Where did I come from? What are my roles, status, friends and job?

Until you can answer all of these questions, completely, then you cannot go onto the next step.

Personal beliefs can be what you believe or how you believe. Is there a higher power? Do you believe in a God, or Buddha, or Allah? Personal belief is your spiritual foundation. Everything from how you eat or view the world comes from this spiritual ideal. Your connection to this something is at the core of your prolonged happiness, and how you proceed in times of distress. How can your recover, and why go on, if there is no reason or simple belief that you can get help. Helping yourself is one thing, yet when no one is around who do you talk to? Yet, for some people that was an easy question to answer so the next question was about personal heritage.

Personal heritage are you family ancestors, from where you do you come. Its an another sense of balance, and can be a huge amount of strength when facing life’s challenges. An orphan or an adopted child may have a harder time determining this, not that the question is always on the back of their minds, and coming to some answer is the only way to stop the mental dialog. It can detract from focus, and not knowing creates doubt of ability.

Bob Marley: you can’t know your future until you know your past.

Where as personal beliefs give you a sense of perspective and help you interpret all that happens to you. Personal heritage gives you the strength to carry out your task. It tells you who you are. It is this cultural ideal that gives you the push when ours are pushing back.
