We hold many beliefs.  And some of us tend to assume that what we now hold to be true as really the truth.  It is not uncommon to form an opinion on someone we know.  That this person is unappreciative.  That the other person is self-centered.  That another is proud.  We are also quick to form an impression on the people we know little about.  How?  Through their appearance and the way they talk, walk, dress and behave.  We may also dislike an activity or even a country even though we may not have tried the activity or stepped foot into that country.  Why is this so? Because someone tells us so.  Because so and so tells us that the activity is boring.  Because the media tells us that the country is far from our liking.

Let me share my story with you.  For several years, I had a bad impression of Taiwan.  Why?  Thanks to the media.  Whenever there is news on Taiwan, what I get to see is politicians (including lady politicians) fighting like thugs in the street.  Although it may seem amusing at times, slowly but surely, I was lead to believe that this is a ‘distasteful' place to be in.  This goes on for a long time and I tell myself that if the leaders can behave in such a manner, what more can I expect from its people and the place?  So, I made up my mind that I would never want to visit the country and was pretty sure that my decision was correct.

Somehow, by some twist of events, I find myself heading to Taiwan for a vacation.  I was mentally prepared for a so-so or even lesser holiday.  But, I have to admit that I was wrong and so terribly wrong.  Since the trip, my impression of Taiwan took a 180 degree turn.  It is a lovely country with friendly and helpful folks, vibrant night markets, yummy desserts and great tasting fruits and coffee, thrilling coach ride up and through steep mountains, leisurely train ride amidst scenic sea view, relaxing dip in hot spring, cool and nice weather…

Can you think of any negative or limiting beliefs you are currently holding? Whether of yourself, another person, an activity, a place, a type of food, a type of job etc.  Be open to the possibility that what you are holding may not really be the truth even though you may have held them for ages.  Think about it.  Re-look at it.  And hopefully something wonderful and refreshing awaits you.
