Hello RiseUP Visionaries!
Have you noticed? How many times have you thought to yourself in recent days... months... years, "That doesn't seem right! In fact, that seems to me the OPPOSITE of what's true!"
If so, you're not alone... the longer I've been on this path of unplugging, the more upside down the world looks to me.
Some of the beliefs that come to my mind when I think about what is upside down in this world:
- Birth is scary
- Children need to be independent - ASAP!
- Only "experts" should educate, make decisions and Lead
Every time I unplugged by questioning something that I previously thought I understood, I realized that I didn't arrive at my original belief through critical thinking and examination - no, the belief was something I simply picked up by living in our culture/society. But when I became brave enough to ask a question and shine a light on those beliefs I realized - those unexamined beliefs were detrimental to me and my family living our best lives.
So, how do we happily live in a world that seems to be "polar opposite" to what we want? Well, we create our own mini-worlds by connecting with other people who share our beliefs and live our values in their daily lives. At first that may seem daunting and overwhelming - maybe even impossible! But in truth it is attainable and people are doing it every day! Next week we're going to dive into how to make this task doable in each of our lives.
In the meantime, comment below and let me know:
What is one idea or belief you see as generally accepted, but makes zero sense to you?
I'm so honored to be on this path to peace with you all.
Always Remember:
Be Bold, Be Brave, Be You!
Because who else is there to be?
Warmly,
Susan May
