As you go through life, you have a certain set of beliefs that guide your thinking. It's a world view based on everything you've learned and experienced up until now. It can be very real, and it can also be very wrong.

The Earth really isn't flat, even though our perspective tells us it is. The lesson: always test your reality to see if it's really accurate and where you may need a fuller understanding.
The end result, hopefully, is a set of beliefs that empower you to become more and achieve more than you are today. But it all starts by making sure what's real to you is also what's really true.
