"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha
Remember that we are all making it up as we go along. Why is it so hard to remember? When you doubt everything that you believe you may find yourself in an uncomfortable situtation. Try it sometime. No really... try it sometime.

It was this kind of “thinking” … or thinking on my own… that changed my life. It's been fabulous ever-since. :) Great post!
