A short list of common beliefs that I believe are harmful to our living fulfilling and ever-evolving lives with each other, which I would like to be debunked in my lifetime:

• Vulnerability is weakness.
• Talent is something you’re born with.
• Success requires hard work.
• You shouldn’t express your feelings.
• Only do it if it ‘feels good’.
• People are inherently selfish.
• Only results matter.
• I’m not enough, or I don’t have enough.
• It’s not my fault.
• Sex is shameful.
• Love must be earned.
• Relationships are supposed to be hard.
• The purpose of business is to make money.

I feel charged even as I write this.  I want to assert to the world that every single one of these beliefs is either blindly reactive, woefully incomplete, or flat-out wrong.
