False agreementsWe have all grown up with many untruths or false agreements about ourselves. Someone’s opinion (a belief not based on absolute certainty or positive knowledge) gave us some false information about ourselves and we unknowingly bought into these opinions when they are just that - opinion not fact. Our parents were raised with many false agreements and then unknowingly passed those false agreements along to us. As an innocent child we had no way of consciously understanding that much that was told or taught to us was just someone’s opinion of us and the world and not fact at all. Many of these false assumptions and beliefs may have led to much discomfort and unhappiness along the way. Maybe it is time for each one of us to start questioning our opinions and judgments about ourselves and others. Maybe just maybe you will finally awaken to the fact that it was all opinion and very little fact. Let’s go forward this year with less judgment and more acceptance of ourselves and those around us. Try not to “buy into” someone’s opinions and/or gossip about you or others. Make the decision to be more gentle and forgiving and accepting with yourself and those you come in contact with on a daily basis.
