Is it the truth or a preference?

So much of our suffering would be relieved if we practiced noticing the difference between our preferences and the truth.

We may prefer that someone behave a certain way or that an outcome we are hoping for comes to fruition, and just because we prefer they do, that doesn’t mean they “should.”

There are infinite possibilities, and our minds cannot know the “right” one. We suffer in our frustration and disappointment about our “right” outcomes not happening. Our freedom and joy come from choosing love over preferences. Not so we can become complacent but so that we can continue to create at our highest level because that’s what love does.

What if you could lift up above your preferences and connect to the truth?
