Actuality – Extended Definition

Actuality tells of a series of acts taking place in my reality. However, quite often my mind has a habit of telling me about one thing occurring, when in fact, it’s not.

Here’s a common example…

I’m continually under stress because of a friend, partner, or someone else who keeps placing pressure on me. But the actuality is, I’m responsible for not ending that relationship or for not taking steps to resolve the issues that create the pressure in the first place. Thus, I live in an illusion and can’t/won’t see the initial act of putting myself in an undesirable situation, and I go on to blame the outer world as I’m too scared or weak to break the cycle.

Here’s another example…

I say I care about the environment.

But I leave lights on, overconsume, drive when I could walk, and waste resources because it’s easier.

So what’s the actuality?

I care. But mostly when it’s convenient. And that’s not a dig. It’s a disarming truth many of us share. Actuality isn’t about judgment. It’s about alignment.

It’s the mirror showing me where I’m out of sync—not to shame me, but to empower me. Because when I stop hiding in the noise and face what’s really happening, I gain the power to respond from clarity, not confusion.

Actuality isn’t an idea.
It’s the act.
Or it’s the fact… the Fudging ACT!

Fact not fake
