A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind. ~Robert Oxton Bolt
Reflection: What you and I believe governs how we think, what we do, and how we interpret and interact with the world around us. An indicator that something occurring around you is challenging or disagreeing with a belief is how strongly you react; anger or abrupt dismissal of someone or something may indicate a belief is being challenged. Personal growth often occurs when we examine and modify long-held beliefs based on new evidence.
