The only models and examples I have to work with and trust, are those taught to me by my teachers, when the world didn't seem to be as overcrowded or mixed up and everybody seemed to be your friend.
The school of hard knocks has been one of my tutors over the years, and you soon learn to believe in yourself and realise that your mind is a powerful thing and can be the difference between success and failure. There is a lot of misinformation out there today attempting to change the way you see things, and trying to provoke reactions, it's made me a more of a rigid person and less able to accept changes, and I trust very few, especially the MSM, who I believe are working to an agenda, and the more I suspect that theory, the more I see....
Insightful post, but disagree about what I learnt from my parents stick with me for the rest of my life,thinking patterns enforced on to me growing up, hasn’t stuck with me for the rest of my life, I developed my own thought pattern many years ago, which has continued to get stronger,...I can’t even remember those old thought patterns anymore that were enforced on to me growing up.
Some of my thought patterns have changed, the old ones forgotten , the more one develops their own mind, the old thoughts of negativity and destruction ,are slowly waved good by to.
I was extremely weak minded growing up, because it was controlled by my parents, for many ,many years I never knew what having my own mind meant.......I am glad it happened because it taught me so much and still is, one will never stop learning..my mind is well guarded now.
