Casey,
Thanks so much for these thoughts. I’m at a place in my life where I’m doing tons of questioning, and it’s amazing what I’m learning about myself! I’ve been a “people pleaser” most of my life — often to the unhappiness of myself. Many of the things I’ve believed have not been “my thoughts”, but have been learned. I’m on a journey of self-discovery, and it is truly the most liberating, joyful journey I’ve ever experienced! Again, thanks so much for your blog! Taking the time to ask the hard questions is never easy, but it’s always necessary! I hope this is a wonderful day for you!

Casey,
I just met you at your April event and feel so blessed. Wow….what an amazingly profound and provacative post. When I first began questioning some of my long-held beliefs I definitely felt (1) uncomfortable, (2) anxious, (3) disloyal, (4) unfaithful, or perhaps even (5) overwhelmed? I remember how difficult it was. Every point you mention has such incredible validity!!! There is so much food for thought in every question you posed here.
What I love doing is challening the young students I teach with these ideas. I sure look forwad to learning and integrating more and more every day!!!

With appreciation and gratitude,
Yvonne

Thank you Casey for this view into someone’s life disorienting moments.
We all hold beliefs that are part of the training we receive while growing up ie:” The world is flat”.”Darwin
was wrong”.”Catholics good-Protestants bad”
What ever it was, opening your mind to the possibility that other realities which are as ingrained in others
as our beliefs are in us are worth considering.
As Fred indicated; it was the love of the man he knew as dad which made him so and not the genetics
that were their bond.
Thank you again for your insights and observations.I’m very happy to be part of a group who values
life long learning as much as Interbiz.

There are many things that we have learned over the years that affect our lives, simple little things that are ingrained into our subconscious mind from the time we are small children, such as, \don’t talk to strangers\ which is exactly what we need to do to move forward in our adult life.

I had the exact same situation as u described at the beginning of yr blog but at 40. I was disoriented for a short while but because my father had never been around, my dad is still my dad. Its where the love is. I realise that my thoughts and beliefs r holding me back but with help from mentors such as yr self I am a much improved (still a long way to go) person. Thank u for your wise words.
