We are born with an energy of aliveness and a belief that life is good. Watch a toddler's zest for walking. No matter how many times she falls, she has a dream of being a walker! But over time there can be an erosion of our belief in ourselves. We're born to dream, but as we experience disappointment, we begin to believe more in circumstances than in what's implanted in our own hearts. Think about this: If two people can look at the same situation and hold diametrically opposed views about what that situation means, then the real truth is not in the circumstance, but in the belief.
