Droplet Of Wisdom 9

Beliefs that serve: What's worth believing and what's not.
In this true story the power of belief is demonstrated to be less than truth, yet more than fiction. The droplet exemplifies that the power of choosing is always available to everyone.

Hi,

I'm Graeme Dexter with a short droplet of wisdom.

I call this one,

What's Worth Believing and What's Not.

One of my favourite sayings is,

Hold only the belief that serves you best.

I know it's not always easy to hold on to the beliefs,

Especially when you're unsure how true they are,

But they are brilliant assets to daily life.

A few years ago I had a colleague who appeared each morning with a long face and depressive attitudes.

When I sought out his belief state,

I was not surprised to hear that he believed that everything that could go wrong will probably do so.

Now I agree that sometimes things do go wrong,

And sometimes it's useful to see the possible problems or issues that might hinder the day.

And yet it had a depressing and energy sapping effect on my colleague.

I remember a time when I worked in a drug and alcohol rehab unit as a nurse.

My colleagues were pretty fed up with the managers of the unit,

And specifically fed up with not getting paid properly or on time.

I supplied them with these beliefs and urged them to say to themselves on their way to work,

Today will be a great day.

We'll be appreciated by the managers today.

My colleagues rely on me.

My colleagues trust me.

My colleagues like me.

I like them.

And I'll enjoy working with them today.

As the days and weeks progressed,

I noticed a much happier group of nurses.

Smiles on their faces as they greeted me.

And soon enough,

They did get greater recognition and appreciation from the managers.

When I left,

They gave me a card which simply said,

Believe the beliefs that serve you well.

I do.

Thanks for listening to this Droplet of Wisdom.

Thank you - just want I needed this AM before heading to work!🙏❤️

Very helpful droplet. Very true that what we believe is likely to become manifest…so why not believe the best.

This was really helpful. I had just offered a Workshop that people had rsvp’d for and then didn’t show up. I could believe it was me or I could believe that they may have had different reasons for not showing up and that I had nothing to do with that. After all I can’t control what others do.
Thank you

Love this! As a nurse I see and feel some of my colleagues’ consistent negativity entering the workday. I feel for them, because they get what they expect. I shall remind them of a different perspective and the possible outcomes by changing theirs. Thank you!

Always leading the seeker in the direction of solutions for daily living. Blessings!

Thankyou this is a very relevent talk as i usually see the wrong side of things but i also see the goodness in it i will try to look for what serves the greater good and therfore allows my own in completenes be one with the whole at least be in line with my mind to give God the things that i have no control over and do my best to be in line with whatever is roght now how can i benefit and accept the result yusually that means that i stay out of the way and dont try to influence what is but let Gods hand be the grace that is working no matter what the result may seem to be
