Soulsong #475 – Will the Truth Set Me Free?
Sometimes my quest for truth isn’t freeing. Sometimes it actually limits and hinders me.
I’ve probably learned to take a rational, scientific method approach to life: gather data and then draw conclusions. But this incessant weighing of pros and cons leads me to give equal attention to what I like and what I don’t like in relationships, finances, health, etc. Thus, through Law of Attraction, my thoughts draw many circumstances from both categories into my experience.
I would do well to knock off the constant analysis and scrutiny and instead develop a rose-colored glasses approach to people and situations. I can learn to view life with positive prejudice, giving the benefit of the doubt, directing my attention away from flaws and problems other than the ones I’m required to immediately address.
And those problems I’m required to deal with will continually decrease as I become less of an evaluator and more of an appreciator.
The truth will never set me free if the truth is upsetting. Good-bye, Sherlock Holmes. Hello, Pollyanna.
Other than, say, deciding which computer to buy, I can leave the scientific method in the laboratory. My goal is well-being, and I’ll never get there as long as I’m an equal-opportunity thinker – giving both the crappy facts and the happy facts equal time.
