I've always felt that a great deal of our beliefs, are simply other people's ideologies and opinions that we accepted as true. But what if they aren't true? Are we walking around with bogus beliefs in our head - beliefs so pervasive, so commonly accepted, that it never even occurs to us to question them? Could these fictitious beliefs be some of the very reasons for our stuggles and unhappiness?
There's a huge difference between believing something and truly knowing something. Knowingness comes from the insights gained through personal experience. Everything else is just 'hear-say' we picked up along the way that may, or may not, be factual.
Perhaps it's time to reassess these notions we've blindly given credence to, and begin tossing out and replacing what no longer resonates, or rings true for us.
