MESSAGE #333 REALITY

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Alissa Goldsmith.

Recently, I gave a talk to the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce on the topic of Peak Performance in Business and Life. Relationships are the key, but the challenge is that everyone is different. Our thought processes and perceptions may not be the same, however, there is no right or wrong – only differences.

We tend to think that everyone else is just like us, but the truth is that we all have our own view of things. We think how WE perceive things is the RIGHT way, but in actuality, there is no “right” way. Three different people could read the same book and put it down with three different views of it. Each of their views is equally real.

So the next time you disagree with someone, try to look at it from THEIR point of view and you may have a different opinion about it…you may even like their perception better.

So reality is whatever we think it is.

“We are shaped by our thoughts. We become what we think.”
-The Buddha
