The Better Life Success Enrichment Seminar 6
You learn to tie your shoes in a certain way and you keep doing it because that’s the way it’s done. You learn to think in a certain way and you keep doing it because that’s the way everybody does it.
I don’t mean that everybody thinks the same things. I mean that everybody thinks in the same way. And that even people who agree on nothing think in the same way.
Right and wrong, win and lose, never and always. Good and evil, black and white, friend and enemy. We think in dichotomies, inevitabilities, and absolutes. But nothing in reality is like that. So our way of thinking gets in the way of our thinking. And we can’t really solve our problems or achieve our goals.
When two people argue, is one of them right and one of them wrong? What if they are both right? Not just sometimes, but most of the time?
