Mental Models

We go through life without ever questioning what we believe, even though many of those beliefs could easily be wrong.

Our worldviews, perspectives, and beliefs can change just by listening to others.

Because people take the time to share their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge, we get the chance to do so.

That’s why I’m here doing the same, looking at life differently, challenging common beliefs, and learning to think in new ways.

I also want to encourage others to do the same, because the more we share and listen, the more we can learn and improve.
