Doubts and Convictions

During life, we learn to form our own opinions and they become the absolute truth for each of us...

Do your certainties and convictions take you to the place you want?

During life, we learn to form our own opinions and they almost always become the absolute truth for each of us. We call them certainties and convictions and defend them with a touch of prejudice and intolerance when faced with different certainties.

Understand this scenario: If you hold your certainties as something that should not be questioned, you become a slave to your own closed ideas and see them as immutable opinions.

If you look closely, you may notice that the more imprisoned you are by your convictions, the less clear you are about what is happening and what is going on inside you.

However, when you seek clarity, it means wanting to find the truth behind the obvious, starting to understand (for example) the real meaning and reason for a word that someone attributed to you or the predominant feelings and emotions in yourself. . This clarity that we need to have makes us reach the ideal condition to decide the next step to be taken in a goal, whether professional or personal.

Do you want to get out of superficiality and understand what's deep inside?

So expand your mind and seek clarity about facts, other people and yourself.

Your certainties will be true if you are clear about what is happening.
