Personal Truth Quotes

“We might feel that we must demonstrate explicitly when we’re upset, or not upset. This perceived need may stem from our family of origin, from how we learned to be heard when a simple “no” wasn’t enough. We may have learned to mask certain feelings, or portray feelings that weren’t ours. But as adults we each need to learn to state our personal truth without having to prove it or shout it.”
― Alexandra Katehakis, Mirror of Intimacy: Daily Reflections on Emotional and Erotic Intelligence

“To think because you have been “saved” that you are now sane is insanity. God doesn’t fix the mind. He only gives you opportunities to have moments of clarity. It is your job to climb the mountain and see above the clouds for yourself, not to believe the congregation's interpretation of the view.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“So for me the essence of life is very simple. It is just this, awareness that allows us to trust in our own truths (without feeling any need to convince others), living gracefully amidst the chaos, maintaining a sense of balance (not being pulled around by the supposed opposites or false paradoxes), and being able to choose how we direct our lives.”
― Julia Woodman, No Paradox - Living Both In and Outside Of the Matrix: Through Consciously Evolving Our Consciousness [ Theory, Exploration, Tools ]

“The human mind registers a false perception of physical reality from the occurrences that make an impression upon the senses. Human consciousness is an orderly organization of human perceptions of the structure and ratio of physical reality, of which we attempt to share by communicating our perceptions and justifiable true beliefs with other people. The infinite fallibility of the human mind, along with the inability of any human being to know with certainty if anyone else shares an identical perception of reality, makes some personal truths forever elusive and uncommunicable.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“What's regrettable in life is the self inflicted abandonment of our own personal truth that gets trampled by a carriage of phantom criticisms drawn by our own runaway mulish insecurities bound down a fretful road paved by the pointless concern for the opinion of others.”
― Jason Versey

― Melanie A. Smith, Finding His Redemption
