As someone who has consciously worked on building self-awareness over many years, it never ceases to amaze me how many people are stuck in a pattern where they feel they have to force their beliefs on others. One of the main reasons I provide life coaching for kind, sensitive, creative people is that they are often open to all kinds of ideas.
It takes insight to move beyond one's own beliefs and entertain other points of view without feeling threatened. People who are stuck in dogma, and trying to impose it on others, often don't have the perspective to realize that not everyone thinks and behaves like they do. For example, I advocate for a belief system that welcomes and celebrates many diverse ideas, a concept that is alien to many people who are stuck in one point of view.
My lovely clients have taught me that the key to living a kind, happy, balanced, fulfilled life is to be open to all kinds of ideas and approaches. The more open a person is, the more options are available to them and the less they feel they have to convert others to their own way of thinking. What's your perspective about forcing one's beliefs on others?
Cheers,
Guy
