Worldview

The lens through which we interpret reality

The world is complex - look at it from many angles to get closer to the truth

Uncertainty is the only constant; adaptability is wisdom.

Inter-connectedness demands humility and wonder.

Meaning emerges from contribution and helping others, not consumption.

The universe is huge, and you are small - that perspective should keep you grounded.

Your worldview is not what you see, but how you see.

The map is not the territory - your mental models are approximations of reality, not reality itself.

Every perspective is a view from somewhere. The wise seek multiple somewheres.

Reality doesn't care about your beliefs, but your beliefs determine how you experience reality.

The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world.

Your assumptions are the windows through which you view the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

Your perspective is always limited by your position. Move to see more.

The world is a mirror that shows you what you are.

We are all blind men describing the elephant of reality from our limited vantage points.

The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

Your worldview should be a living document, constantly revised in light of new evidence.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.

We are like sailors who must rebuild their ship on the open sea, never able to dismantle it in dry-dock.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now.

The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Your reality is a construction of your beliefs, experiences, and attention.

The universe doesn't have a viewpoint - it has infinite viewpoints, and you are one of them.
