Examine how you are limiting yourself on your own assumptions
are you allowing old, fixed views to form your perception of yourself or others ?
maybe feeling limited or that you can't get ahead due to your sex, lack of financials, or disability, or just feeling like your stuck in a 'vice' ?
a vice which is actually of your own making.
are your perceptions of others different from you based on knowing or assumptions you created ?
we were raised in a world of assumptions
unconsciously presented with attitudes of racism, sexism, and phobias that create our view of the world
completely FEAR based thinking; fearful of what one can not understand
the discomfortability of questioning conclusions arrived at a long time ago
we must CHALLENGE our assumptions in order to grow
narratives unconsciously absorbed need to be released about how far you can go and how much you can achieve
the negatives settled in your mind need to be challenged
established systems can be changed, assumptions transformed, and even old divisions can be healed with LOVE and UNDERSTANDING
LOSE YOUR RIGIDITY
dismissing whole groups of people over differing points of view, ethnicities, or whatever other social identifiers is ROBBING YOU of valuable knowledge
ALL beings on this planet are teachers
there are calcified attitudes that are screaming for change
it is quite possible you may be encountering these traits in persons around you
in order to transform fixed attitudes you must first understand them
apply critical thinking and logical arguments
win anyone over with clarity, evidence, and reason
make logical sense
loved ones CHALLENGE us, our perspectives, and assumptions all the time
they may also say the craziest things or may offer incorrect 'facts',
but they are so very important in making you question your own conclusions.. remember these are a necessary CHALLENGE for growth
PRICELESS
