I have a portfolio of perspectives.
Which one is true?
Doesn't matter.
Which one is false?
None of them?
All of them?
It doesn't matter.
Exactly.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Which one serves me best?
Well, I'll tell you that first belief that I had that I was sure was a fact that my mother is too judgmental and hard to please.
There was only one way out.
She had to change so I could be happy, so I could decrease my suffering.
Now, I don't know if you know my mom.
That's not going to happen.
It generally does not happen with people that they're going to change so that you can feel better.
With the other three beliefs, I could do something with that.
And so I had greater agency now that I could change my belief.
Now, it wasn't about holding myself to, well, what really happened and what's the fact here?
None of these are facts.
