Awareness of what is real

What is real?

Reality is subjective. So, what is real for you, right in this moment?

What are your thoughts? What are you feeling?

Are your thoughts and feelings based on reality? On concrete proof? Sometimes, even when we feel like something is rock solid, it still turns out to be a slippery slope instead.

Awareness around this fact allows for change to not be so shocking when it comes. If your house is built on a shaky foundation and you think it's rock solid - you'll sure be shocked and set back if it suddenly buckles and becomes uninhabitable.

Recognize that your thoughts are your own perspectives from the past, and interpretations based on what you see in the now... and also that you could be "wrong", and find that those unshakable thoughts aren't as real as you think.

This recognition helps facilitate being able to be in control of your life without trying to hold on so tight to what's "real" and prevents you from becoming too rigid in trying to be "right".

What's real is that you're here, now... thinking interesting thoughts about the world. Thank you for indulging me while I share my thoughts with you. ☺
