Some beliefs are so dear to us that we can’t let them go. We patch them with tape, prop them up, and force everyone around us to tiptoe past them. Harmony? Forget about it.
This is a conflict between the past and the future, playing out in the present. The future races by with rebellious shouts, trying to knock over our fragile treasures. That youthful energy feels out of place in a space not meant for play.
And that’s exactly it: this part of our life is a museum, a storage room, a china shop.
But the point of a museum or a storage room isn’t to keep everything. Otherwise, it’s pathological hoarding. And here’s the thing: only 42% of people see their hoarding as a problem.
You can’t find an answer if you don’t even want to ask the question.
Change will only happen when a person wakes up. Sometimes, that takes a fire in the cluttered warehouse. Once all the “precious stuff” is gone, the surprised person might finally feel: "At last, I am free."
A wise person understands this dynamic and tries to avoid stress, burns, and ashes. How? By identifying beliefs that have long served their purpose but still cling to us out of sentimentality.
The key is to create a controlled environment—a kind of lab—where you can gently study yourself with someone who knows how and truly cares about your growth.
Yours sincerely,
