The school of hard knocks has been one of my tutors over the years, and you soon learn to believe in yourself and realise that your mind is a powerful thing and can be the difference between success and failure. There is a lot of misinformation out there today attempting to change the way you see things, and trying to provoke reactions, it's made me a more of a rigid person and less able to accept changes, and I trust very few, especially the MSM, who I believe are working to an agenda, and the more I suspect that theory, the more I see....
From the day we are born we also create a model of the world and every experience we have is compared with our internal model. If it doesn't fit it may be rejected as false. But the integrity of our internal model is entirely dependent on our ability to accept changes and challenge our own bias favouring our previous experience.

These days people are at risk of challenging their model with misinformation if the arguments are persuasive enough. The internet makes people lazy too. They don't check facts just accept what is on the screen.

Insightful post, but disagree about what I learnt from my parents stick with me for the rest of my life,thinking patterns enforced on to me growing up, hasn’t stuck with me for the rest of my life, I developed my own thought pattern many years ago, which has continued to get stronger,...I can’t even remember those old thought patterns anymore that were enforced on to me growing up.


Some of my thought patterns have changed, the old ones forgotten , the more one develops their own mind, the old thoughts of negativity and destruction ,are slowly waved good by to.

I was extremely weak minded growing up, because it was controlled by my parents, for many ,many years I never knew what having my own mind meant.......I am glad it happened because it taught me so much and still is, one will never stop learning..my mind is well guarded now.
