Facts First

There are two types of realities:

• True reality

• Alternate reality

Both exist at all times. You can only live in one though.

In the former, you accept the facts as they are. People who live in true reality go with the flow, take whatever comes their way good, bad, or otherwise and make commensurate choices. They acknowledge they are the maker of their own destiny. The good ‘ol phrase “it is what it is” finds its place here.

Alternative realities are quite simply fiction. There is zero basis in truth in such a reality. People who live in or create alternate realities do so to skirt the facts, negate or minimize them, and/or twist them to their liking. They use manipulation, foster uncertainty and doubt, and promote cognitive dissonance to those he or she targets.

For instance, the father of my children justified my son’s abduction over 2400 days ago through an alternate reality that he still perpetuates today. My son suffers as a result.

My words of wisdom? Resist anyone who lies, asks you to do the same, or wants to pull you in to a reality that serves him or her but is clearly false.

Instead, go out on your own fact finding mission. Challenge anyone and everyone if need be. Come to your own conclusion as to what is fact and what is fiction. Lead by example in living the truth. You’ll take your power back (and your happiness) and help others do the same.

It’s a no brainer.
