You have the right to be treated as an equal.

This was our tip from last week. Also, we asked: Are you being treated as an equal?

From the responses we received, most of those who participated thought that they were being treated as an equal if not all of the time, at least some of the time. (A special thank you to those who participated.)

This week, however, we’d like to challenge your answers. Are you REALLY being treated as an equal?

It’s common for us to develop assumptions based on our personal experiences, but the problem is that some of our assumptions can be skewed or inaccurate. This can occur because once we internalize a “personal truth” (believe something is true), the brain stops looking for contrary data and only picks up on confirming data. This means that some of our notions are confirmed only because the brain has decided that anything to the contrary of our “personal truth” is irrelevant.

So this week, we’d like you to test your notion about being treated as an equal and see if your assumption is really true.

Our question is: Are you REALLY being treated as an equal?

You can find out by taking a new self-test located at our website.

Non-members can find the self-test here:

Members can find a more comprehensive self-test in the Member's area.

Have a great week.
