Beliefs that remain unexamined can get stuck, calcified like a fossil or a relic. Instead of being living and responsive, they become throwbacks to outdates ways of experiencing the world.
When have you realized that a calcified belief was holding you back?
It is usually the words of others that shed light on my calcified beliefs. I work at keeping an open mind in all conversations and bless those friends who care enough to point out calcification that I miss.
