“Don't believe everything you think."
/
Someone asked me a really cool question earlier this week. They asked if there is something that I no longer take for granted?

At 40 years old there are a few things for sure! One of the biggest is that I no longer assume just because I feel strongly about something that it means I’m right about it.
Thomas Kida put it this way:
“Don't believe everything you think."
I really love this quote!
On a practical, day to day level it means I’m a lot more like the dog in this picture. I’ve got my hand up, ready to ask question after question. Constantly gaining objectivity and understanding from other people as I learn more about the issue, topic or situation.
Some inspiration in my life has come from:
Paul Nyamuda - Asking three questions deep.
Scott Field - Coming up with great ideas that wasn’t even on my list.
Wynand Rabe - Willing to question your deeply held beliefs.
Ridwaan Kharva - Always asking if there is a better way.
Antoinette Reinecke - Helping me cultivate empathy and seeing things from someone else’s perspective.
Ray Dalio - The concepts of idea meritocracy and respectful disagreement.
Shane Parish - The idea of thoughtful opinions that are loosely held.
