Spin things around and look at them anew.

If you want to break free, or just breakthrough, start challenging your assumptions. Just because you have been told something is one way over and over again, doesn't mean that it actually is that way. For example, at one point, learned consensus held that the world was flat, draining the blood of the ill would cure them or that gravity was the attractive force between objects with mass*.  Each of these "facts" were held as truths when supported by the rules and assumptions of their respective time periods. And each of these "facts" were undone by unconventional thinkers who dared to challenge the most basic of assumptions and then chose to view events from a new vantage point which led to their breakthroughs.

*huh? It is now considered to be a measurable effect created by the displacement of space-time by an object of a particular mass -but who knows how long that will actually be true!
