When we expose our negative core beliefs to the light of day — become aware of them, identify them, and challenge them — they begin to lose their power.
When we believe that one interpretation is the only possible “right” explanation, we close ourselves off from other options that may be helpful.
Some thoughts and beliefs are helpful to us — they expand what is possible for us; others can limit our view, and so our experiences of life.
How is the way that you are seeing things influencing what is possible for you? What are other thoughts and beliefs that would be more helpful?

I wonder how different our lives would be if we saw beauty, rather than imperfection and brokenness, in more of the “cracks” in the world around us.
