Challenge Your Thinking
“Most of the things we do, we do for
no better reason than that our fathers have done them or our neighbors do them.”
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
““You don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” people
tell us when they judge we are reassessing a matter that has already been
confirmed.
But Gaia (channeled through Pepper Lewis) challenges that: “You DO have to
reinvent the wheel!” What does this mean?
Our beliefs literally create our reality. So it’s important to STOP and PAY
ATTENTION to the beliefs that operate in our lives. It’s important to question
everything that we personally believe to be true. And that society believes to
be true.
We remake ourselves and our lives each time:
-
we become aware of how our thinking limits us and
-
we choose to think in more expansive ways.
So pay attention. Don’t assume that anything is a
fact that cannot be changed. Do some out-of-the-box thinking. Look at everything
openly and honestly and ask yourself, “Is there a better way?”
Are your beliefs creating the reality you most want? If not, change your
thinking. Change your thinking and you’ll change your world.
“A tradition without intelligence is not worth
having.”
-- T.S. Eliot
“How much of your world is made up of unexamined stories? You never know until
you inquire.”
-- Byron Katier
