“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.” – Marcus Aurelius

We all hold assumptions about ourselves. Some of them are correct, and others are completely false. An assumption can be defined as, “a thing that is accepted as true or certain to happen, without proof.”

What assumptions do you make about yourself or your circumstances? Our identity is largely built around these assumptions, and the ones that are not true are getting in our way.

Identifying these false assumptions is one of the most critical steps you can take towards moving forward in your career, your life, your relationships, and every other facet of your existence.

We must rid ourselves of the assumptions that are false, and we must turn the ones that are true into facts supported by proof. So how do we do that?

One way is to flip the assumption into an opportunity statement. Identify where you can grow from any situation, feeling, or emotion, and use that to fuel you forward.
