Episode 3042:

How do we know if our reality is the true one? Steve Pavlina explores the nature of subjective and objective reality, challenging us to question our perceptions and consider alternative viewpoints. By examining how beliefs shape our experiences, he invites us to expand our awareness and take greater control over our personal growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"My reality is the one that makes the most sense to me, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only reality."

"If you assume reality is objective, you’ll seek truth by trying to eliminate perceptual biases. If you assume reality is subjective, you’ll seek truth by aligning your thoughts with your desires."

"Perhaps the most intelligent choice is not to rigidly lock onto a single model of reality but to consciously select the model that best serves us in each moment."
