Default Truth And Reality

We could go thru life seeing only what is beautiful & pleasant and close our eyes whenever faced with something ugly and unpleasant.

At first, it may seem like a positive outlook on life - but is it?

By accepting things the way they really are we learn to flow with life which makes us feel at ease, by resisting, we create our own unhappiness.

Let us learn from our daily observations & experiences and accept them for what they are, without holding on to our feelings and thoughts.

Sharing positive experiences is inspiring and that has it's place, while contemplating the way things really are - makes for wisdom...

I agree that acceptance of how we perceive things to be in the moment is the secret to nonresistance and shifting reality - I don't think it means that what we perceive is truth.

Although reality certainly reflects those beliefs we hold as our truths, I don't believe reality is synonymous with Absolute Truth.
