10. Transformation: reevaluating beliefs

The word transform means to bring new form. All transformation results in changing, but not every change results in transformation.

Suffering sets in when we get attached to our beliefs, and often they keep us from remodeling ourselves internally to be able to transform ourselves.

Here are some examples of limiting beliefs that may paralyze us and bring in many dysfunctional conflicts:

“I can’t say no because I will seem selfish.”
“Discussions lead to misunderstandings and breakdowns.”
“I always need to appease to avoid pain for me and others.”
“If I am flexible I can be seen as weak, I need to remain firm.”
“Speaking loud and a lot, I won’t leave space for the other to express oneself.”
“Showing power I’ll be respected.”
“If I’m right I’ll have strength and power.”
“I can give money, but I’ll never give trust.”

Life spins like a wheel and asks us to avoid attachment to concepts already “expired”.
