Welcome to the life challenge.

We all believe different things about a whole range of issues but there are 4 main things that have a really big effect on what we think is true and what we think is false.

1. The beliefs of our close family and friends.
2. The things we have been taught at school.
3. The things we think the majority of people in our country believe.
4. The things we have heard "experts" tell us.

These 4 factors have a huge effect on our beliefs about a person or issue. To decide differently to these four groups of influences takes a really very strong conviction about the issue.

When we look back over the past we can see that on some occasions all four of these influences can be wrong about something.
eg In some parts of the world all 4 of those influences would have told us that the world was flat and that if we travelled too far we would fall off the edge of the earth!

  

We need to be very careful about what we believe and what we reject. The best thing we can do is think for ourselves and not just follow the majority. History has proved that sometimes the majority are right and sometimes they are wrong!

The aim of this "Life Challenge" is to give you something to think about that we hope will challenge what you already think and believe.

Your turn will come!
Once you have read to the end of the challenge please take the time to challenge us too. Why not tell us what you think was wrong with our challenge - we would love to learn more about what you believe.

We hope you enjoy the challenge.
