Question yourself

Occasionally, stop and take stock of where you are. Physically or metaphorically draw yourself in, and sit, still, for a moment. Think about where you are and where you're going. Think about where you're headed. And think about why you want to go in that direction. Who we are is just layer after layer of opinions and thoughts and conjecture, slowly compressed like some great glacial rock formation. But if you don't like a bit of it, chip it out. You may find that a huge chunk of stuff you thought to be true will come tumbling down. That's OK, you didn't need it. You cannot fully believe something you have never questioned.
