Wilderness isn’t bad, nor good. Hard, nor easy. A blessing, nor a curse. These are the thoughts we might have, but they’re not the facts.
In this episode, I’m (re)introducing the concept of facts versus thoughts (in other words, the stories we make up in our minds) in the concept of our wilderness experiences.
The experience of wilderness is made up of a lot of facts: whether your kid was transported there or not, whether they went voluntarily or not, the weather when they were there, and so on.
But as human beings, our experiences don’t just consist of facts. We have thoughts about these facts. We create a story in our minds which leads us to have an opinion about the facts. And these are different for each of us.
The tricky part? When we don’t pay attention, we can confuse our own stories for facts.
Have a listen to today’s episode, where we dive deeper into this concept and discuss how listening and being open to each other’s stories can bring us understanding and can helps us love other people for where they’re at.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The difference between facts and stories;
- Listening and being open to other’s stories;
- How life shapes our view on the facts around us;
- The fear of being wrong;
- And much more!
