Don’t Believe Yourself
Thoughts are just thoughts. But we mostly hold onto whatever pops in our brains about something as a summation of our vast and valid knowledge and experience *cough -entitlement- cough*. “I think that..” “I feel like...” and then we run blindly down paths in our work and lives with our fingers in our ears yelling “me me me!” The point of thinking is an outcome and outcomes can be proven. Your feelings about a situation -“I REALLY think” “I NEED this idea to work” “I really LIKE this idea” are valid emotions but separate from proof. We mess up when we use those emotions as proof instead of energy. You don’t have to have an opinion on or know everything, but if you do-prove it. #lessonsfromluthiery
Absolutely. In 75 years of thinking I have run with a few, (maybe more than a few,) that proved to be in error, with results ranging from disappointing to disastrous.
The same applies to opinions. Refusal to examine opinions and to consider other's opinions underlies our fractious society. People used to debate. That required listening and consideration. We don't do that any more.
