What if it wasn't really true?

The Middle and Upper Paleolithic may have been the most gender-equal time in human history.

Can you imagine that - stone age humans, living 100,000 years ago may have been more gender equal than the world is now?


Why am I telling you this?  Because that probably isn't your view of stone age life. You probably have a different picture in your mind for what it was like to be a hunter gatherer.  It is unlikely that you remember where you learnt about how stone age humans lived but somehow those ideas found a way into your mind and got treated as 'truth'.  


What else have you learnt that you treat as 'true'?  Sometimes those 'truths' limit us - we get told who we are and how we should live and don't even think to question those idea's.


What if you were to consciously decide who you want to be in the world and what you want your life to stand for?  And then, moment by moment, choose your actions based on those values?
