Lesson 9- What are my Core Principles?
In Metaphysics, you will find that it always points us back to what the Truth is in Reality, not what you imagined or perceived. You have to go to the Present Moment. How to move forward totally depends on your Core Principles which is the backbone of your Belief System. Your Belief System includes your values, morals, religion and cultural beliefs. A Belief System has to be developed by you and only you! It is the system you choose to live your life by. Make sure you Journal your thoughts and feelings, so you can review them if necessary. It is important for you to create your Belief System and list your Core Principles.
How to Extract Core Principles from Lived Experience
For each meaningful experience you have had, complete this sentence:
“Because I lived through ___, I now believe ___, so I act by ___.“
A true core principle has three parts:
  1. Source (experience)
  2. Belief (what you learned)
  3. Behavior (how it shows up)
If it doesn’t change how you act, it’s an opinion—not a principle.
Example Core Principles (Lived, Not from Expertise)….
Use these as Mirrors, not Templates…
Clarity beats certainty
I learned that waiting to feel sure kept me stuck; acting once things were clear enough moved my life forward.
Patterns matter more than intentions
People—including me—reveal truth through repetition, not promises.
Boundaries teach people how to treat you
Explaining myself didn’t change outcomes; enforcing limits did.
Discomfort is often a compass, not a warning sign
Growth felt unsafe before it felt right.
Energy is evidence
Where my energy drains consistently, something is misaligned—even if it “looks good” on paper.
A Short Exercise (10 minutes)
List 5 moments that changed how you operate from day to day (not how your thinking)
For each, write the sentence:
Because I lived through ___, I now believe ___, so I ___.
Circle the statements that:
Guide decisions
Show up under pressure
Cost you something to follow
Those are your real principles.
