By default, we are given a foundation upon which we stand. A foundation that is made up of values and perspectives on the world. This determines how you live, what decisions you will make/not make, who you will have in your life and the list goes on. Many people never stop to question the foundation on which they stand. Did they create it themselves or did they blindly accept whatever was given to them over the course of their life never questioning anything? If you want a level of autonomy and strength in the face of the systems and pressures around us, analyzing and assuring that your foundations are true to what you believe is the first place to start.
