Neale Donald WalschThere is no truth except the truth that exists within you. Everything else is what someone is telling you.
About This Quote
This amazing quote by the great poet Rumi captures the meaning of truth. When someone tells you something, it is based on their perception of truth. However, when you find the truth within yourself, it is not something someone is telling you. Rather, the truth exists within you and it will guide your actions and choices.
Even if others disagree with the principles that you live by, they are still trying to live by their own beliefs which are based on their perception of truth. When they see that your beliefs are different than theirs, they will accept that your truths are just as valid as their own.
