Figuring out what you believe in sounds pretty easy. What you believe should be a simple matter of trust and faith that things are a certain way. However, it’s a very big question and the only thing easy about it is how lost it can make people feel if they can’t answer the question.
Typically, when a question like this is asked, it involves religion; but it doesn’t necessarily have to. Each person, regardless of religion, has a personal belief in something.
For example,
- You may believe in the inherent goodness of people, while someone else may think people are tricky and can’t be trusted.
- You may believe that life is inherently difficult and everyone should get what they can over anyone else.
- You may believe that people can change for the better while another person may think otherwise.
This can apply to personal values as well. Have you thought about what your personal values are?
- Are you committed to excellence?
- Do you believe in balancing your life around work and leisure or just work or just leisure?
- Are you calculating about your finances and spending or are you easy-going about it?
This question can also be an abstract belief about life, love, relationships, and your personal place in the world and the universe.
Some people believe they are here for a specific purpose and reason. Some believe they are here for a reason but that reason is only knowable to some higher being. Some people may not believe they are here for a reason at all.
This question is very important to ask yourself and consider because what you believe can greatly inform what you decide to do, the choices you make in life, and how you deal with difficulties that come your way. This can have tremendous effect on your happiness.
So what is it that you believe in?
There is no right or wrong answer. You just have to find your answer, whatever that may be. In doing so, you may find yourself; maybe even a better self.
