Whether you know it or not, you are making up our own version of what's really going on. Just ask around what's going on in the world...you'll find a little agreement here and there, but mostly you'll find as many versions of "reality" as the number of people you interview. The question is not who's right or wrong, the question is, how is your version of reality working for you?
In a way, you might say you're the author of our own personal fiction. But here's the deal...if you carefully construct your fiction (your version of reality) from the most inspiring, uplifting and optimistic information available, you'll have more energy, health and happiness with which to make your story come true. It works, try it!
