We all hold certain ‘truths’ as a foundation of who we are, thus our actions and choices that follow. Sometimes people simply adopt a belief system without doing their own due diligence. They blindly follow a belief, repeatedly sometimes.
An example of this skewed belief system would be the following.
You’ve been with a certain insurance company for many. many years now; and Mom and Dad had them too. You continue to carry their policy without regard to the ever-increasing premiums and exclusions which would actually prevent you from signing up with them in the first place if you did research on them today. Maybe you feel a certain obligation to them, or a fondness because ‘it’s in the family, you know.’
When ever you find yourself saying, “I’ve always done it this way,” that’s a great time to put on those spectacles and re examine your allegiance to that particular thing. Time moves on; things change. Your allegiance to (changing) things should also be as dynamic.
Of course, there are the timeless facets of life that are ever lasting. Such as love, peace, kindness, honesty, gratitude, compassion, etc. Those truths are kept close to our hearts and receive daily pledges of allegiance!
