New experiences trigger change, only if they cause us to question our beliefs ... Remember, whenever we believe something, we no longer question it in any way ... The moment we begin to honestly question our beliefs, we no longer feel absolutely certain about them ... We are beginning to shake the reference legs of our cognitive tables, and as a result start to lose our feeling of absolute certainty ... Have you ever doubted your ability to do something ??? ... How did you do it ??? ... You probably asked yourself some poor questions like "What if I screw up???" "What if it doesn't work???" "What if they don't like me???" ... But questions can obviously be tremendously empowering if we use them to examine the validity of beliefs we may have just blindly accepted ... In fact, many of our beliefs are supported by information we've received from others that we failed to question at the time ... If we scrutinize them, we may find that what we've unconciously believed for years may be based on a false set of presuppositions ...
