Beliefs act like filters in your brain, causing you to view the world in a specific way. Often, they skew the way you see things. They’re created when you’re very young, at a time when you’re new to the planet and looking around, observing the primary people in your life to learn how to navigate the world. You’re learning about what you should and shouldn’t do. Beliefs almost become our manual in life. That is, until we find out later that some (or most) of them aren’t helpful at all. They were formed as survival tools for a child, not an adult.
