The Tales of Future Past

There may be many reasons as to why children carry on their parents' tales, but one of the main the tales of the past are projected into the future is because of the patterns ingrained on the physical level.

If your parent thinks that life is hard, chances are everything about your life is hard because of it. That's a pattern, and once that pattern gets into your psyche, you will begin to believe that life is hard, and life will act accordingly. If your parent thought life was hard, but then actually changed that thought and belief and therefore life around you changed as well, you will learn something else.

It's not so much that the sins of a parent are visited upon a child, so much as the simple fact of the results the child lives with become the patterns that create their future.

When we're going through life, it can be important to recognize where the tales actually originate, but it is super important to challenge them. Is life really hard? Is life really painful? Does life really have to be this way or that way? Are these your truths or are these truths that you have taken on a hand-me-downs without ever consciously looking at them? Is this my truth? Or did my mom/dad think this way? Is this a belief that's been handed down through generations and if yes, is it still true?

The future becomes what it is because of our actions. If our actions are based on beliefs of our past we are building a future that has little chance of becoming our own; in fact, it can only ever become a replica of our parents' life until we consciously choose to challenge the beliefs and make sure that we are building a future that is based on the beliefs we want it to be built on - life does not have to be hard or painful or anything else we grew up with!

Blessings.
