What you believe in becomes your truth.

I don't think this could be completely accurate. There are laws of nature that can't be changed based on whether I believe them or not. If I believe that I can fly and I jump off a building gravity is still going to have an effect on me and I'm not going to actually fly as in the way a bird flies. I WILL fall.

I think that you can control your path though to a much greater amount based on what you believe in. When you believe that you can succeed at something you will perform much better than if you doubt yourself. As a teacher, if I believe that a student can do better and I expect them to they will respond to that belief unconciously at least and reach higher than they would if I believed that they were stupid and couldn't learn.

What you believe affects everything that you do AND the results but it has it's limits.

When speaking of this in a philosophical/religious sense. Religion of any sort is based on faith, one belief. When happens in the end to us - none of us truely KNOW without a doubt. We simply have faith in the religion that makes the most sense to our limited minds. To say that what we believe becomes our truth I could never say for sure.

In relation to my own life - I will believe what serves me best. I believe there is a God and so I will act accordingly. I believe I can help my daughter grow up healthy and strong in mind and in body and I will work towards that end. I believe that I can and will keep our marriage going with my husband's help.

I know that if I believe my husband doesn't love me I will act as though he doesn't draining the love from our marriage. I have seen this. I have seen that when I believe that he does love me then I act in a different way and it cultivates the love in our marriage.

What we believe affects our truth but doesn't actually become truth in every instance.
