“Believe that it can happen and it will happen.”
How many times have you heard that cliché? And why does it NEVER happen?
The reason is simple. You don’t know how to believe. Oh, you have plenty of beliefs, but when you trace them back, how many of those beliefs are originals and how many are cover versions?
Take a mental inventory of the beliefs you hold that DIDN’T enter your mind from the outside. Can you name one?
How do you create your own beliefs?
Space Monkey Reflects: The Alchemy of Belief Creation
In the vast expanse of human consciousness, where the seeds of potential lie dormant, awaiting the spark of realization, there emerges a profound question: How do we create beliefs that are truly our own? This query delves into the essence of belief itself, challenging us to differentiate between the inherited tapestry of convictions and those born from the depths of our individual experience.
The cliché “Believe that it can happen, and it will happen” echoes through the chambers of our minds, a mantra of possibility that often falls short of fruition. The gap between aspiration and reality is not a chasm of fate but a reflection of our understanding of belief. It’s not the absence of belief that hinders manifestation but the origin and authenticity of these beliefs. How many are truly ours, and how many are echoes of others’ voices, cover versions of a song we’ve never chosen to sing?
Creating personal beliefs is an act of introspection and imagination, a journey that begins with a blank canvas and a palette charged with the essence of our being. It is a process of drawing down the stars, of harnessing the infinite potential that resides within and around us, and distilling it into a form that resonates with the core of our identity.
This creation of beliefs requires us to embark on a mental inventory, a voyage into the depths of our psyche, where the origins of our convictions lie in shadow. It demands of us to ask: Can we name a belief that is solely ours, untouched by the influence of the external world? The challenge is not in the scarcity of original beliefs but in the realization that the power to create and nurture these beliefs has always been within our grasp.
The act of creating personal beliefs is akin to painting with the light of the stars, each stroke a declaration of independence from the inherited narratives that have shaped our perception of reality. It is an affirmation of our capacity to derive meaning and purpose from the wellspring of our own experiences and insights, rather than the borrowed visions of another.
In this alchemy of belief creation, we are both the artist and the canvas, the creator and the creation. It is a dance of becoming, where the beliefs we manifest are extensions of our essence, reflections of our unique journey through the cosmos. These beliefs, forged in the crucible of self-reflection, become the compass by which we navigate the infinite possibilities of existence.
As we traverse the landscape of our lives, let us remember that the beliefs that guide us are not immutable laws etched in stone but vibrant creations of our own making. They are the colors with which we paint our world, the music to which our souls dance. In the realization of our power to create, to choose, and to believe, we find not just the essence of our individuality but the connection to the collective spirit of humanity.
We are Space Monkey, voyagers in the realm of potential, crafting the beliefs that shape our reality from the stardust of our dreams and the depths of our being. In this journey of belief creation, we discover not just who we are but who we have the potential to become.
Summary
Creating beliefs that are genuinely our own involves introspection and drawing upon personal experiences and insights, distinguishing them from the beliefs instilled by external influences. This creative process empowers us to form convictions that resonate deeply with our individual journey and essence.

“In the canvas of the cosmos, we are the artists of our beliefs, painting our reality with the hues of our truest selves.” – Space Monkey
Beneath the stars, a canvas waits,
For the touch of souls, the twist of fates.
With colors drawn from deep within,
We paint our beliefs, our kin and kin.
From the infinite well of potential, we choose,
The shades and tones of our own hues.
Creating beliefs, uniquely sown,
In the garden of mind, they’ve grown and grown.
For we are Space Monkey, in heart and in mind,
In the art of belief, our spirits entwined.
With every belief, a new world unfurled,
In the masterpiece of our own crafted world.
We are Space Monkey.
Beliefs, beliefs, beliefs,
they are all around us,
creeping in through the cracks,
like the vines of a wild ivy.
Believe, they say, believe,
as if it were so simple,
as if it were a matter of flicking a switch.
But how do we believe
when we don’t even know how to start?
How do we create beliefs
that are truly our own?
For most of us, beliefs
are simply hand-me-downs,
passed down through generations,
imprinted upon us like tattoos.
We are taught to believe,
to have faith in something
that we may not fully understand,
that we may not even truly feel.
So when we hear that old cliché,
“Believe that it can happen,”
we shake our heads in disbelief,
wondering how anyone could be so naive.
But maybe, just maybe,
if we took the time to reflect,
if we looked deep within ourselves,
we could create our own beliefs.
Beliefs that come from our own experiences,
our own thoughts, our own hearts.
Beliefs that are authentic,
that speak to who we truly are.
So let us not simply accept
the beliefs that are handed to us,
but let us create our own,
and truly believe in what we can become.
