PERCEPTION VS REALITY - How to Know What is Really True! | Ep #5

What if truth is really about our perceptions? And the actual TRUTH lies outside of that perception?The story: Admittedly, my children have been my greatest teachers over the years. And this lesson was incredibly powerful for me!  I share the story of a time when I based what was happening on what I saw, with my own eyes, firsthand!I didn’t allow room for any other possibility because to me, because truth was simply black and white and based on what I see.  In this story, I saw, I took action, and imposed consequences on my son for his behavior.  And I was wrong.We also address the need to be curious. To investigate others’ actions before making assumptions. When we are rigid with what we think we know, we don’t leave room for the whole TRUTH to emerge. We also talk about the need for listening! Ask good questions before coming to conclusions.  Be willing to admit when you are wrong! And clean it up! Make amends. Saying we are sorry is one thing but sharing what you learned makes it more impactful.Last, remember, FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS!Sometimes our feelings are so intense that we begin to validate what we suspect rather than what is factual. Our ego will collect evidence to prove our point.  And that clouds our perception of what is actually going on! How often are you engaged in self-reflection and personal growth?How often do you make assumptions and turn them into truth? How well do you listen? To yourself? To your intuition? To others?
