Messages.

From the moment we are born we are inundates with messages.
Messages from our parents, our family, the T.V., the radio, billboards, politicians, rock stars, movies, art, literature, school, and society.....

These messages may contradict each other or cause conflict or suffering.

It takes us half our lives to sort these messages out.

Some are from people of goodwill.
Some are from people who want to exploit us.
Some are from people who want to control us.
Some are from people who do not have our best interests at heart.

Many people never sort these messages out at all.
They go to their graves believing lies.

So how do we sort these messages out?

Ask yourself, "What is the motivation behind this message?"

The answer will be enlightening.
