Your ego would much rather for you to be wrong and consistent than correct and uncertain. If you never question who you are, you will never grow. If you want better judgment, you must learn to shed your identity when necessary. It doesn't mean that you become an empty shell that meditates all day long and has no beliefs. It means that you learn to loosely identify with things.

Like you hold on to your identity loosely and you're okay with being fluid and changing your identity a little bit. And you can update it when reality shows you something clearly and demands, hey, yeah, you should probably update that about yourself. You need a system update. And that allows you to see things more clearly.

Instead of saying like, you know, imagine if you just had a computer and you're like, no, I'm going to use it forever and I'm never going to do the update. You're not going to be running programs very well in the next three to five years. Ten years, your computer is probably not going to work with any of the programs.

If you want a computer to work well, you need to update it so that it can hold and use all of the new updates that are coming through, all the new softwares, everything. So you have to be willing to update your beliefs, your thoughts, your truths. Be willing to be wrong. The faster that you can make admissions to being some sort of mistake, the faster you're gonna grow.

So you have to stop defending ideas just because they're familiar. Think about this. If all of your beliefs fit neatly into a little box in a single label, then you're not thinking clearly, you're just following the masses. You're following what you're told to do. You're following what you're told to believe. You're following what you're told to think.

And so you have to pick one belief that you hold strongly and then try arguing against it. As if you're trying to prove somebody else, like you have somebody sitting next to you and you're trying to prove to them that you are wrong. See if you can do it. What do you notice? Does it make you uncomfortable? Does it feel like it's impossible? If so, you've probably found one of your identity traps.

So that's the thing that you need to understand about it. And then I just want you to understand when you look at your seeing things clearly, to see things clearly is a practice. It's not a talent. Clear thinking isn't something that you're born with. It's something that you must train yourself to do. It's a skill set.
