What are the influences impacting the decisions and values in your life? Pete White, a graduated psychologist of 20 years who is now helping individuals discover their vocation and meaning, talks through key ideas around how we see the world and how we evaluate who informs those things even subtly without us knowing. He helps us consider the question: “Who ought to be informing my life? Who am I letting inform my life?”

If we have a worldview that is guiding us, we want to be intentional about it.

Questions to Consider

What is your worldview? Who and what is informing you on the daily? Social channels? Influencers? Social pressures? Parents?

Are these sources actually intending to care for you? Do they have your wellbeing in mind?

Who ought to be informing your life? Who and what do you believe have the right to inform your worldview?
