This is the ideal, it's admittedly not how I always think.

I don't even think it's the ideal. To believe that nothing is true and nothing can be assumed leads to paralysis. The ability to question one's assumptions is vital, but when you have assumptions that overwhelming evidence have shown to be true, it is a waste of time to question them unless you have considerable reason to do so.
