Who has written on the walls of your life? What I mean is who has said or done things that really influenced your life.

Often we think of the special people who had a positive impact on our life, like the teacher who pointed out what you were really good at, or the neighbor who took you in when times were rough at home, or the friend that showed you the world could be a friendly place.

Sometimes the writings are not that helpful. I am sure whoever put the writings there never meant for them to be a hindrance.

One of the writings that I had to struggle with was that God wanted us to give every thing away and live under a bridge. This does not make much sense. But I had a strong religious upbringing that somehow enforced this idea. Last Sunday I realized where this came from. We have been reading Proverbs and there are many sayings in there that talk about it being better to be poor and honest than rich and wicked. Somehow I got the part about it is better to be poor than rich but the rest of it went right past me. You realize who wrote most of Proverbs? King Solomon, the richest man in the known world at the time. Was he poor? NO.

He was just trying to make a point that happiness and honesty are to be valued and treasured. If you are a rich businessman but you are also dishonest in your dealings, you will have to work extra hard to hold on to your position and customers and sales because people will find out and not want to deal with you again. However if you are poor but honest and you consistently work toward your goals, you will succeed and prosper because people will see you are honest with them and that is what people want.

An idea that it is better to be poor than rich can be pretty limiting. How do you get over these debilitating writings on your walls?
Meridian tapping and EFT work wonders in getting you past this. I actually did work on this issue several years ago and it is no longer a strong influence in my life. You often have to dig a little deeper than just the surface statement such as it is better to be poor and give everything away. Often an objective 2nd party can help you see the trees in the forest that are causing the problems.
