Question Your Own Beliefs
- Posted by Theresa on April 19th, 2006 filed in Believe It or Not
This comes from Paul’s Tips:
Always be ready to question your own beliefs.
Something unfortunate happens to us with each year we spend on this planet. We gradually become convinced of the correctness of our ideas. We become arrogant in other words. Make peace with the certain fact that there are a great number of things that you are wrong about. Rather than twisting the evidence to fit your theory - twist your theory to fit the evidence.
This habit can be one of the most difficult of all to develop, but it is also one of the most important.
See Paul’s other four excellent Mind Habits.

I’m doing good. I’ve been busy at the doctor, dentist and optometrist trying to get everything done before my insurance runs out. Did you see my post about our store closing? We hope to have a time-frame by Saturday.
