The Foundation of a Fulfilled Life

Right Believing Leads to Right Living: The Foundation of a Fulfilled Life

Life is an intricate interplay of thoughts, beliefs, and actions. At the heart of this dynamic lies a profound truth: what we believe shapes the way we live. Our beliefs are not merely passive ideas—they are the compass that directs our decisions, behaviors, and ultimately, our destiny. When we embrace the principle that right believing leads to right living, we unlock the potential for a life of purpose, peace, and prosperity.

1. The Power of Belief

Beliefs form the foundation of our mindset and perception of the world. Whether we realize it or not, they influence every choice we make. Positive, empowering beliefs propel us forward, while limiting or negative beliefs act as unseen barriers to our growth.

For instance, believing in one’s inherent worth fosters self-confidence, encouraging individuals to pursue opportunities that align with their talents and dreams. On the other hand, harboring self-doubt can lead to missed chances and unfulfilled potential.

2. Anchoring Beliefs in Truth

Right believing begins with anchoring our thoughts in truth and values that resonate with our higher purpose. It means challenging misconceptions and discarding false narratives that cloud our judgment. This shift requires introspection, openness, and a willingness to grow.

For many, spiritual principles serve as a guide to cultivate right beliefs. Faith in universal truths—such as kindness, forgiveness, and gratitude—can transform the way we view ourselves and others, fostering healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

3. The Ripple Effect of Right Living

When our beliefs align with truth and purpose, our actions naturally follow suit. This alignment has a profound ripple effect:

Right living is not about perfection but about making choices that reflect our highest values and aspirations. Over time, these choices create a life of meaning and legacy.

4. Cultivating Right Believing

So, how can we nurture beliefs that lead to a life well-lived? Here are some practical steps:

Living a life anchored in right beliefs is a journey, not a destination. It requires consistency, courage, and the determination to align our actions with values that uplift and inspire. By embracing this principle, we pave the way for a life of integrity, joy, and purpose—one where our inner convictions lead us to outward greatness.

My Mother's Story (Mercia Paliou)

On this International Woman's Day, I wanted to share my mum's story on her journey and her aspirations in life. To also give us a glimpse into what life was like back then and what they did to build the young PNG nation. I would not be where I am today if she did not first embark on her own journey of education, career marriage and life. My mother's journey began in her village of Dogur in the Dagua LLG of the East Sepik Province. She was born on the 6th of September 1947. She already had 5 older siblings and she was the 5th born with 2 others after her. Born to parents who were subsistence farmers their lives revolve around fishing, gardening, hunting and gathering food to feed the family. A typical village day would consist of women going to the garden, to work on their vegetables patches whilst the man would go hunting/setting traps for bandicoot or fishing in the small creeks, rivers or the sea. Their stable diet is sago so each family has their own sago plots in th...

The day was referred to as Toana day.

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Pricing)

Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another: God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to min...
