What do you think is the hardest thing to change?

The hardest thing to change is that which has the beliefs rooted the deepest.  For myself and for many people, this tends to be the beliefs associated with religion.  I was raised to believe that I was taught the only way to salvation, to eternal life, and all other ways were wrong.  This was rooted into my family life, my social life, my perception of this world and the next.  As I explored other spiritualities and started changing what I believed, I remember the shaking emotion inside that said "what if you are wrong and you go to hell because you abandoned your faith?"  I choose to follow the voice within and with time this primal fear is released.  But even after walking a spiritual path for many years, it is ironic to still hear the old fears speaking up every once in a while.  I am integrating the Laws of deliberate creation into my life presently and sometimes I hear the "what if?"  I breathe deep, release the fear, and focus on my affirmations; I focus on what I desire for myself.  I was raised to believe this is selfish, so I guess I am now learning the spiritual art of being selfish.
