Let me give you a very simple example that nearly every adult can relate to.
As a child, the idea of Santa Claus filled you with excitement and happiness around Christmas time. One day, though, you suddenly came to the realization that Santa is no more than a myth. That revelation rocked your world! And probably made you very sad. But, it served your self-development. You wouldn’t have a lot of credibility with your friends and co-workers today if you still believed in Santa, right?
The Santa myth is timeless and magical – in fact, you probably shared it with your own kids because it’s so much fun for them. But when you changed your mind about Santa your reality changed in an instant.
