We all carry a heavy baggage of half truth and untruth which confuses the little real knowledge we have. With the help of your journal you can break through the conditioned blindness that prevents us all from seeing a better reality. The most valuable function of your journal is to demonstrate to you that your own thinking can be wrong. Other people are reluctant for social reasons and because of their own self doubt to point out your faulty thinking to you. When you discover it for yourself you are empowered to act in new ways.
Life can be a source of continuous learning.
It's just as important to have new experiences and to wrestle with new ideas every day so that you nourish your mind, as it is to eat daily.
