The world was never flat

“Negative beliefs are exactly that: beliefs, not facts. The world was never flat, although everyone believed it was. You are not dumb, crazy, egomaniacal, grandiose, or silly just because you falsely believe yourself to be”

-Julia Cameron

This quote is from a book I’m currently reading “The Artist Way”. But it tugs at something universal.

Most of us spend the day repeating negative self tropes. “I’m not smart”, “I don’t belong here”, “I can’t do this”.

Research done at the University North Carolina found that it required three positive thoughts to offset the damage of a negative one. THREE.

On good days I think I manage a 1:1 ratio.

It’s time for us all to audit our self perception.

The earth isn’t flat, and you’re actually pretty bright.
