Its Not About You

Have you ever noticed how people will swear that something is true when they gossip. Or that they give their opinion on your matters but that the opinion is not really based on truth.  Perception is a strange thing.  It filters the truth through a distorted lens.  It is rare that any of us see the truth.

So how do you determine truth.  Truth is the same no matter whose perception it goes through.  The sun will rise in the morning. This is currently our truth.  The body needs food, this is also truth.   Wars are fought over perceived truth, this includes even religious wars.

Being balanced and centered means that you have to filter out the opinions of others.  The opinion of others is not about you. It is their filtered truth of you.  It is not the real you.  If you live right in your heart and do not strike out against your own beliefs,  you are living in truth and are exactly what you were meant to be.  It is only when we live against our beliefs and moral codes that we find hell on Earth.  This is because we live in guilt.  If you do not like your truth, you are the only one that can change it.  If you know you live in harmony with your own moral codes, then you live in truth.  Any one else's opinion at that moment, is not about you. It is their misconceptions of their world.  Do  not let others write the story of your life.  Live true to you and happiness will follow.
