[My business is to create.]


I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create. -William Blake

Life is not about discovering yourself, it is about creating yourself.

[Rethink]


You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. -Alan Alda

Growing up in a dominantly LDS community, you never really have to question or wonder why we do what we do. Its possible just to obey by default and never think twice about it. Well, being here at Westminster...you can't really do that. As people ask me why I don't drink, or why I go to church every Sunday...my lack of response has shaken me. My beliefs make me happy, and I know its right...but I don't know why yet.

I guess I'm heading towards "knowing for myself" and "not relying on the testimony of others." To be honest, I'm excited to begin this new investigation of my beliefs, to acquire a deeper understanding and eventually more diligent obedience. Wish me luck and post any advice please! Loves!
