Meditations on God

We often get set in our ways because they have seemed to work for us thus far. 

They brought us to this point, after all. 

We are blinded by our own perceived success.  

We cannot see what we cannot see and we cannot see what others see. 

So we do not know if another way is better than what we have been doing. 

We keep going in our own direction until we get stuck. 

Failure is sometimes the only thing that can make us change our minds and change our ways. 

This is why challenging ourselves is so important. 

If we are not putting ourselves into situations that are difficult, wherein our limits are being tested, we are much more likely to have ideas, opinions, and make all sorts of presumptions with no way of knowing if they are true or not. 

Our attitudes and habits are tested with friction. 

If we avoid friction, we are more likely to remain ignorant of our errors in judgement. 

The best way, therefore, to get on the right side of truth is to be willing to be wrong and to put ourselves in a position to fail.
