Yeah, I'm going to let other people fight to the death lol But I get what you're saying, for sure.
One thing that helps me personally is to question my own beliefs with severe questions. Like, "What if what I believe is completely wrong? What if I bought into this only because I want it to be real or true, and it actually isn't?" This is a challenging thing to do, and when I find myself hesitant to do it, I know that's a place where I'm having dissonance.
Thanks!
Ha! Yeah I get that all the time trading forex! AT LEAST 50% of the time my prediction is wrong. But it's a good mental exercise. Granted, in trading you get used to it - in life, it's harder to question your beliefs and assumptions. It pays to remember you're only human, and never infallible.
Followed you @Longshot because I like your avatar! The star looks around Wichita Falls. You know where the Hirschi high School is? I do.
Ha! Upvoted & following you back if for NO OTHER REASON than I figure yer a native-grown Texan! Sorry I don't know the place. I'm an ex-pat Texan myself, having been born in Corpus Christy, but traveled many roads since then and landing on the E. coast of Florida for the time being.
E coast? Too bad. I like the West Coast of Florida... the Gulf is beautiful in Florida... Atlantic... not so much. :) I lived in Orlando for awhile and got a bit too judgmental. LOL
