You might be convinced of the soundness of your opinions, which could lead you to defend them ardently today. While having a strong sense of dedication to what you believe can be healthy, today you may want to consider the beliefs underneath your opinions and why you feel that you need to uphold them so vehemently. If you can, you might take some time to examine your beliefs by asking yourself where they came from, what you do to mentally reinforce them, and how these opinions manifest themselves in your life. You could find that even though you may think of your opinions as being open and sensitive to the needs of others, by holding onto them you are in fact closing yourself off to a large part of the world.
Analyzing where we get our beliefs and how they influence our lives lets us see that even if they seem liberal, remaining unfaltering in our ideas is limiting. When we realize that our ideas that seem so strong and solid actually come from a multitude of sources and that what may seem like something we have always believed is, in reality, a combination of many ideas, we begin to understand that being unwavering doesn t help us preserve our beliefs; it simply keeps us from evolving. As you scrutinize the basis of your beliefs more closely today, you will notice how fluid they truly are and that it is a natural part of the process of life to be open to new ideas.
