What Is Truth?

from Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Hosted by Michelle Burkhard

What is truth? Is it something absolute, or is what webelieve to be true shaped by our experiences, perspectives, culture, and the way we see the world? In today’s episode, Michelle explores the many ways two people can experience the same thing and walk away with very different truths,without either person necessarily being wrong. But perhaps there is something even greater than ourindividual versions of truth. Michelle introduces the idea of the “great truth,” a truth grounded in love, joy, inclusion, honor, respect, value, and worth. She challenges us to consider what happens when we become willing to listen to perspectives that are different from our own and even allow ourselvesto be affected by them. Because the way we define and approach truth doesn’t just shape what we believe. It shapes our relationships, our communication, and ultimately the way we move through the world.
