Great examples you give of our pre-conceived misconceptions. I now that 90% of the time I'm guilty of all the examples you listed of not believing in opportunities when they present themselves. I believe the reason for not believing in the impossible is because when something goes wrong with an amazing opportunity, the first thing you see and hear is the negative aspect. Also, the moment I scrolled down the page and noticed the women near the van, I was tempted to leave the page. Didn't want to see or hear anything else you had to say. Laughed at myself because the first thing that came to mind was what I would have thought 10 or 15 years ago. Glad I continued on with your post. It's tough to change things that have been hard-wired into you. Will try to look at things from a different vantage point.
