Why is this helpful?
When I was studying anthropology at UCSC in Santa Cruz California I began to see as I studied tribes of people all over the world how they each had their own Creation Stories. It wasn't that any of their stories were either right or wrong it was that they were just like the major religions of the world telling their creation stories. So, I came upon the idea that I began to believe that everyone needs to write down their personal creation story or stories and thereby BE their own religion so to speak.
This is useful because it doesn't really matte whether you believe in God or not what matters is that you believe in something or else you wouldn't still be alive today even if it is only believing in yourself or someone you love like a parent or grandparent or religious figure or something. Maybe you believe in Taylor Swift because she is a good performer. My wife and our adopted Daughter almost went to Edinburgh, Scotland and my Adopted daughter had already bought tickets for this when she wound up getting pregnant for the 2nd time and eventually had another little boy.
So, if she hadn't gotten pregnant the two of them surely would have gone to Edinburgh, Scotland for this concert of Taylor Swift's.
The point is: "Whatever your present beliefs are sometimes writing these beliefs down will help you survive your life better."
For example, when I began writing at age 8 when my 16 year old male cousin died in a car accident it was very serious business for me because I really had no one to talk to much about my cousin dying. Even when I was 50 in 1998 when another male cousin died because he was upset because he worked for Boeing in Seattle because one of the planes he helped build (or more than one) crashed in New York or other places on September 11th 2001, so he was dead within a couple of weeks of this. So, this was difficult for me to deal with too.
The point is writing down your beliefs in any given moment at any age helps you to navigate your life better. Even if it is telling a story about what you believe can be really important.
Eventually even though I started writing about Arcane (Saint Germain) in one of his incarnations in 1980 it wasn't until 1998 and 1999 while I was preparing to die that I realized that these were actually about past, present and future lifetimes that my soul remembers simply because a soul doesn't naturally live in time or space (but can while clothed with a human body here on earth).
So, writing about what you presently believe (even though this often can evolve and change through your life) might be helpful in better navigating your life and being successful in life.
What is being successful in life?
I think it's about being happy enough in your life to actually choose each day to stay alive.
People think that life just goes on and on and on.
Nope!
We choose each day each moment whether we will continue to live on or not.
This is the real truth of life even though many don't want to face this.
Because I faced this every day for about 4 or 5 years from ages 21 to 25 I fully get this.
However, once my son who is now 51 was born I decided to stick around and raise him right.
Now he has his own wife and 11 year old son in Oregon.
So, life goes on with us or without us!
It's each of our choice to live on one day after another.
I choose life because I'm happy with my life.
I never expected to be this happy at age 77.
This is a really big surprise to me especially after 21 to 25 years old!
By God's Grace
