Everyone makes assumptions. This is a fact of life. As a scientist, I’m used to making assumptions. I assume that the laws of Physics are the same everywhere in the Universe. It seems to work. There’s no real a priori reason that this should be true but we like to write coherent theories that can be used to make real predictions. Like I said before, it seems to work. There are many assumptions that people make on a daily basis that are more than acceptable. For example, you see a green crossing signal and you assume that the traffic is going to stop to let you cross the road. This is pretty reasonable though, if a driver hits you, they’re in some serious trouble with the law. I do always have a good look around before I step into the middle of the road, despite the signal to go. I simply trust my eyes more than a traffic signal.
Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world
We are born to make manifest the glory of God [sic] that is within us
and as we let our own light shine
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
A lot of assumptions are reasonable, but some are not. Some assumptions that you make in your day to day life could be holding you back from achieving your full potential. This website is partly about helping people to achieve the best they possibly can.
Here are five assumptions that can limit your life if you believe them.
