In today’s changing society, it is not uncommon to have a change in beliefs and values due to aging, educational opportunities, and overall life experiences. There are, however, some beliefs that we hold that are so fundamental that they will not change regardless of age, education or environment. These are core beliefs that we hold so strongly, they reflect our identity when we are being our most authentic selves. So how do you stay true to these core beliefs in an ever-changing society where differences can often feed into this new emerging cancel culture? It’s as simple
as getting married! Whether you are currently married, have been married, or have no desire to be married to another individual, the guiding principles of marriage can still apply to your belief system. Below are three ways you marry yourself to your core beliefs.
1. You make the right pick. You’ve heard the saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea” and that same thing goes for beliefs. There are plenty of beliefs floating around so pick the one that is best for you. While it makes life easier when family and friends share in your beliefs, ultimately you are the only one who has to live with them!
2. You make a commitment. Once you choose beliefs that are best suited for you and the life you want to live, let others know! Living in a way where lifestyle choices align with your belief system lets others know exactly what you are committed to.
3. You remain faithful. Make sure that your actions and behavior matches your words. It’s not uncommon to become complacent from time to time and if you find yourself there, go back to the beginning. Reflect on what made you choose that belief and how your life would be impacted without it.
