One of the most important things that you can ever learn how to do is separate fact from story. Facts, or circumstances, are things that are outside of your control. Thoughts are sentences in your mind that are always 100% optional. When you're able to separate facts from thoughts, you gain the ability to create results regardless of your circumstances. You also learn that facts don't have the ability to hurt you or create emotions. This understanding is the key to creating a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling.
