Picking teams

You are not defined by your political party, what color you find most attractive or your gluten aversion.

Be careful when picking a team that you aren't just using it as an excuse to stop being mindful. Sometimes when we pick a side, we eliminate a way of thinking that could have tremendous value. Or, in the case of political parties, we could be picking a side that doesn't actually always line up with what's inside. Then we trap ourselves in an idea of how we are supposed to think.

Now there's something to be said for having a closet full of grey t-shirts, so we don't have to waste energy deciding on something mostly meaningless. Just be careful that you don't get so attached to this idea of who you are or how you think you should be, that you become blind to when your bliss is in a different direction.
