The definition of truth as per the Oxford Dictionary is:
That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality.
But what is reality?
Oh gosh, we’re getting into the big questions here?
Well, not quite.
Based on the responses I received on my post from yesterday (thank you!), today I’m digging a little deeper yet. Writing is a bit like appreciative inquiry; it helps bring clarity.
When I gave up self-employment after a mere nine months, it felt a bit hastily. It did not fit with my idea of commitment. There was this voice in my head that wanted me to prove myself to myself. While this voice was pretty damn loud, I still felt inner resistance. Where did that inner resistance come from? What was it telling me? Was it just me being out of my comfort zone and needing to break through that? Or was there more to it?
It’s not always easy to tell these things.
At one point, I simply made the call.
I decided; You don’t need to prove yourself to yourself.
A little while later, I took a leadership survey. It asked me how agile I was.
That question made me pause and think.
I’ve always felt agile, now even more so than ever before.
After all, if one thing was true, then it was, that I failed fast 😊
I had to smile at my own thoughts.
I thought how easy it was to bend the truth.
All of a sudden, I had proved myself to myself anyhow.
Just in a different way.
Fact is the truth is extremely agile.
There tends to be such negative connotation with bending the truth.
Yet, the truth, as well as wisdom, are paradoxical.
They can be twisted and turned and still be wrinkle-less.
Reality changes along with our point of view.
Looking at things from a slightly different angle can make a real difference.
And hey, it keeps us moving :-)
Thanks once more, for all the encouragement I received. It’s appreciated.
