5 Things Worth Letting Go of Before You Die

1. The need to believe your reality

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, think about your feet on the floor, the sounds in the room, the sounds outside, sitting here reading this page… everything you can perceive right now is a thought.

Is this at first hard to accept? Run with it for a moment…

The need to believe your reality may be restricting your reality, and when our minds are full there is little room for anything else.

From the moment we are born we take in a colossal amount of experience. The outside world is reality and we assume that what we experience is real because, well, of course it’s real. By the time we reach middle age we are chock full of ideas, beliefs and perceptions. Not only about ourselves, but the whole world around us.

The good news is that if you are upholding a false reality in thought, it can be let go of. While this is somewhat easy with our conscious thoughts, it is far less obvious embedded within the countless observations we have collated over the course of our lifetime.

Belief, by it’s very nature, is an after-affect of perception, not a precursor.
