Lies

People tend to keep doing what they have always done. I tend to fall back into patterns, familiar worldviews and easy stereotypes. My quality of life is directly affected by things that I believe, regardless if its real or not. What is real if you think about it? Is there one truth out there or is everything just a subjective rollercoaster with the only meaning being that which we assign?

These are basic 1st semester philosophy questions but lately its become pretty important to me. I wonder what kind of BS "truths" I hold onto that are holding me back from a more fulfilled life. I know some of them but are there others?

I suppose thats why I read so much personal development stuff. I can feel the weeds spreading throughout my mind if I don't continually try to stretch my view of the world. I do not handle stagnation well.

I wonder if everyone else experiences the kinds of lows and highs that I seem to go through with self-esteem, satisfaction and well being.

Sanity is only temporary.
