I Haven't Thought of It This Way

Why We Need to Question Our Assumptions

“If one has the answers to all the questions — that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.” — Pope Francis

Certainty is a dangerous thing. It breeds arrogance and closes our minds off to new perspectives and possibilities. 

We become so convinced that our worldview is the only one that exists that we stop growing and progressing as individuals. This isn’t healthy — for ourselves or society as a whole. 

To move forward, we must embrace uncertainty and question our assumptions. Only then can we learn new things and grow as people. 

Are you up for the challenge?
