belief

the name of one of my favorite gavin degraw songs. but also this tricky little thing that affects everyone's life.
some really great guy i know always says that "what you really believe you live by."
so what do you really believe? what are those core beliefs that guide your actions, attitude, and faith? i thought i knew my answers to those questions... i do. but the "why?" is sometimes just as hard, if not harder, of a question. "why do you believe that; why is that true?" its hard to ask yourself and its hard to ask others.
the answers, or the answering process, for all those questions can be really frustrating.
