Beliefs are nothing to be proud of. Believing something is not an accomplishment. I grew up thinking that beliefs are something to be proud of, but they’re really nothing but opinions one refuses to reconsider. Beliefs are easy. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. As soon as you are proud of a belief, as soon as you think it adds something to who you are, then you’ve made it a part of your ego. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. It is gratifying to speak forcefully, it is gratifying to be agreed with, and this high is what the die-hards are chasing. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door. Take on the beliefs that stand up to your most honest, humble scrutiny, and never be afraid to lose them.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://artful-bliss.tumblr.com/post/4258938045</link><guid>http://artful-bliss.tumblr.com/post/4258938045</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Apr 2011 08:00:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>website: AppAdvice</title><description>&lt;a href="http://appadvice.com/"&gt;website: AppAdvice&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;For my Apple friends: if you don’t already have the AppAdvice app, check out this website to learn about the latest iPad and iPhone stuff.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://artful-bliss.tumblr.com/post/4258024827</link><guid>http://artful-bliss.tumblr.com/post/4258024827</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Apr 2011 06:54:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>change</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The wind&amp;#8217;s brisk chill; a reminder of the changing seasons.

But is it really necessary to blog about building your new dream home and filling it with country chic decor which you also highlight with lovely pictures in your posts? Or what about those traveling all over the world on a magnificent vacation of a life time? Of course, I don&amp;#8217;t have to read said blogs, but I&amp;#8217;still annoyed by them.
