Customs & Convos
Man really is a product of influence. From conversations this week, I see that I have acquired and internalized limiting beliefs regarding how life can be. Post-convo, I also see that I don’t have to live life according to the hand ‘I’ve been dealt with’.1
Better yet, I don’t have to live by the customs and perspectives I am familiar with. If this means I must keep unlearning and learning all my life, then so be it. Let me be around those who challenge me and show that something better can be done. That, and let me be open to other views besides mine.
To be open and willing to learn.
A related quote & reminder:
“Don’t spend too much time around someone whose primary way of engaging with life is as a martyr. When suffering becomes your identity, you only see the hard parts of life.”

Currently re-reading Single. Dating. Engaged. Married. by Ben Stuart.
I read it for the first time in 2022 and I cringe thinking about my first review on it (TMP #40) because why so many words lol. A friend recommended it to me only to find out I was already on it. It was giving telepathy yunno ;)

I can clearly identify when I started thinking this. Safe to say, be careful of internalizing other people’s fears and projections.
Thank you for sharing this. Social media makes it even harder to get a strong grasp of what we really think . We’re constantly getting a peek into what millions of people think and our own desires can get buried under this real slow or real fast.
Someone spoke about "Curation Of Contents" especially in our information flooded media society.
In the absence of deep/positive physical social influences, I also found that Curation advice profitable.
Thanks for your great post.
