Dear soul, do you often feel the relentless pressure to be right? This journal entry explores the cultural and historical roots of the fear of being wrong and how this rigid worldview unconsciously controls our lives, breeding intellectual hostility in the world and within us.
We dive into how this orthodoxy/heresy mindset creates a constant need to be "correct." Understanding this mental trap is the first step to freedom. We use personality theory to show why every perspective is valuable, proving there is no one "right" way of thinking or feeling.
We look at simple practices to cultivate humility and slow down our reactions to things that challenge us. We start by calming our bodies and hearts. It's time to cultivate radical humility and step into a kinder, more authentic, and deeply meaning-filled life.
Let's stop the fighting and become less reactive today.
XOXO,
Kate Harmony

🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿
My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.
Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.
I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I warmly welcome you into the Lightbearer's Library. Stay for a while, and please remember to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2wps4NID9rrO08OuwZ5Lg?sub_confirmation=1
