A lot of people may not think about how important this factor is to their mental and emotional health, but when it comes to one's own personal beliefs, it is vastly important to find confidence in those beliefs. I have talked about it before in spiritual counseling sessions with clients. If you're always worrying about, "what if I am wrong?" it will worry you to death or drive you insane. Constantly questioning yourself will make you increasingly unstable until you finally lose yourself.
I do not mean that you should never question anything. I mean that what you believe about the Gods, about life, and about yourself, is valid. You will never find peace until you find peace with this part of yourself.
And even if you one day find that a belief of yours turned out to be indeed inaccurate, it doesn't matter, because for one, the Gods are not affected by it, and two, you held the belief in good faith. A strong temple is one that you build inside yourself. From it, you will draw immense strength.
Your beliefs form the core of who you are. All that we are, how we think, how we act, and why, is all centered around this core. If it's always shaking, then so shall you. Write it down, talk to yourself, make the official Book of "your name here." Establish it and make it stick. Even if you encounter someone who believes differently, or at least doesn't accept your beliefs, that's fine too. They don't have to, and their refusal or difference also changes nothing.
Far too many people find their cores shaking, mainly due to insecurity. Not only realize that there is no need for that, but also that you are strong at your core. You will see improvements in your mental and emotional health and physical performance in life.
In the Goodness of the Gods,
I'll see you at the next Herm down the road,
Chris Aldridge.
