Truth or Not the truth

So, I have been thinking a lot about what has been going on in the world. All of the people and all of their opinions about right and wrong, left and right, true and false. Who do you believe? Who do we listen to?

Here is the thing, we have to listen to ALL of the information. Then we have to research and educate ourselves. We obviously will choose where we live our life regularly. Our morals, how we were raised, how our family thinks, lives, etc. Sometimes, we differ from the family and that is ok too. Think about church. Some people grow up and were made to go to Catholic churches or a Jehovah Witness church, etc. Then as an adult, we change our religious affiliation. We make those decisions based on research and the desire to learn more/different/other religions. It doesn't make our family wrong it just means that we have learned something new.

Truth vs. non-truth is a way the world is looking at EVERYTHING right now. It may all be true just a different opinion. Are there non-truths being shared to us? ABSOLUTELY, but some of the things people are saying as non-truths are true. We have to discern from what we hear from what is truth and from what is opinion. It does not make it a lie because I have a different opinion. It just makes it my opinion. I have heard things that are peoples opinions and think to myself, well, that's their opinion, but I do not believe the same thing. I don't make people wrong for their opinions and feelings, but I don't just agree with them to agree. THINK for yourself. Research and learn more about the topics. Do not just listen to the people that have the same view as you. People learn from listening to ALL views. 

As an entrepreneur, I see this happen all the time in all the businesses I participate in. Not everyone thinks the same about the businesses as I do and that s ok. My job is to share my thoughts, feelings and knowledge and then let others decide. EVERYONE will not always agree with me. That's ok, but not wrong! 

We have to help the world to get better and the best way to do that is for US to do better. I am one person, but hopefully I am helping others grow in their life by demonstrating the ability to listen to all sides issues and topics in my life!
