I stumbled across a rather inspiring website the other day titled “Taught 2 think” and it was a suggestion that everyone reading should come up with their very own belief system containing 100 or more. Now when you first hear it, 100 beliefs may sound like a lot, but once you get to writing, you may realize that beliefs are easy to come by.
