Who are you when you're not looking?

A world view is more than a belief system or an agenda. It's what comes out of you automatically—when you meet a person different from yourself, when you're exposed to a new idea. It's what makes you angry or sad or afraid or happy. Your worldview is so present you don't even know it's there most of the time. It's what you really think, beneath all your efforts to think a certain way. 

It's who you are when you're not looking.

By observing your responses to things, without pretending they are anything but what they are, you can uncover your worldview. Some parts of it are reliable and trustworthy. They help you thrive. But other parts of it are in serious need of repair. They stand in the way of your happiness. 

It's vital work trying to learn the difference between what you really think and what you've been told to think. 

Ever forward.
