Perhaps our best friend, when dealing with ingrained perspectives, is uncertainty. In the past, we were so sure that we knew what was "true" and that things were as they appeared to be. We have learned, in the past few years, that we've been misled and that things are not always as they appear to be.
In these new times, uncertainty can serve us well. Rather than be certain about everything that we learned or believed in the past, it is time to question everything. Even, or especially, our entrenched beliefs... the ones we have held devotedly since childhood and early adulthood. Just because we've always perceived something in a certain way, or believed that something was a certain way, does not make it so. Our beliefs and our perceptions are just that... beliefs and perceptions.
Let's be willing to have some healthy uncertainty and doubt about the so-called "truths" that surround us. Let's get centered and focused, and start seeing things the way they truly are, not the way that the mirrors of illusion lead us to believe they are. Let's go within and see what surfaces as real when we look at life from the heart and from a higher perspective.

Today, we choose to have healthy uncertainty about our perceptions and beliefs.
