Just Because A Thought Is Real Doesn't Mean It's True
Manage episode 516357827 series 2390331
Our thoughts are real, but not always true. This episode invites listeners to look beyond the stories the mind creates and find freedom from worry, stress, and self-doubt. Through mindfulness and gentle awareness, it offers a path to calm and clarity in uncertain moments. Listeners are encouraged to trust that every thought can be met with curiosity and compassion, opening the way to inner peace, resilience, and a deeper sense of hope for what is possible.
Poem: Our Thoughts Are Real, But Not Always True
Our thoughts rise like waves on an endless sea, shaping the shore of who we think we are. They rush in, fierce and convincing, pulling us into stories of what might break, what might never come, what might already be lost.
They feel real because they are. They move through the body, tighten the chest, quicken the breath, stir the storm.
But truth lives somewhere quieter. It waits beneath the noise, in the still water that holds every wave. It asks nothing but a pause, a single breath, a question whispered to the mind: Is this thought true?
The unknown is not our enemy. It is the open sky that can let every cloud of thought drift by. Calm is not something we find, but something we remember.
In the space between belief and truth, there is peace. There is possibility. And there we can be, the sky, not the storm.
