False Assumptions
What skills do you have? What are your strengths? What is the one thing you are good at? Is this the truth?
Many of us were raised in a system that plants false assumptions and we accept them. Why do we accept them? Because authority figures told us. We are taught to look up to, respect and listen to anything and everything that they say when growing up. Teachers, Scientists, Doctors, Coaches, Adults, Parents all had an influence on you. Some of it would be positive, but a lot of it will be negative. What are the false assumptions that someone told you? Are these assumptions true today? I was told by my 6th form math teacher that I would never learn maths. I studied computer science at university and got an A in all maths papers. This is just the knife edge. Make a list of your false assumptions and challenge them. Are they true? or just useless thoughts conditioned by a past that simply does not exist?
