I'm endlessly curious. The point is that that it is not necessarily useful. If view my co-workers or boss as out to get me I may end behaving in a self-defeating manner. Thanks for commenting.

When you change your model, you change your life, and you can change your model just by changing your thoughts! I also think it's a great point that it doesn't always matter if the model is true or not. Sometimes, belief is all we really need to achieve our goals, and although I think it's always best to pursue truth, following an incorrect belief often leads to learning and development. .-= Vin - NaturalBias´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NaturalBias/~3/DeBwyVTZATE/" rel="nofollow">Simple Solutions for Lactose Intolerance</a> =-.

I'll give you an example of one of my own and that's the model of choice and free will again fate or destiny. I do believe I have a destiny of sorts, I also believe I can choose from moment to moment what actions to take and how to respond to events. I can listen to my destiny, i.e. listen to that calling or that intrinsic voice we all have then make a choice or I just decide and go with it. I say to people that only the past is destiny, the future is as free as I choose it to be. Some may say my model is contradictory, however, it's a model and a thought process that has always worked for me. .-= Amit Sodha - The Power Of Choice´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThePowerOfChoice/~3/kP7pD1etdRA/" rel="nofollow">How To Inspire The World In Under 160 Characters</a> =-.
