Today, we have an operating system that we use to navigate life. This operating system is called our worldview. Our worldview is how we determine reality and make decisions about what is good and what is evil, what is real and what is false, and what is worthwhile and what is worthless. Those distinctions are each derived from our worldview.
WORLDVIEW PROMPTS DECISIONS: Our worldview slowly takes shape through life and dictates most of our daily responses to choices, events, and experiences. As babies, we process the world and start forming our own reality. We go through life from the start–listening, filtering, picking, and choosing.
Parents, the web, TV, media, music, games, school, experiences, religion, and our surrounding culture all blend together to form a working worldview.
When we want something it is because it fits into our worldview.
Whether we watch or listen or participate in anything is driven, in the background, by our worldview.
Whether we want a job, learn a trade, or continue in education are all byproducts of this worldview framework we use.
Rational people, normal people, average people, those without impairment usually choose activities that “fit” into what they believe is right, helpful, and consistent with their reality or worldview.
So for example, the worldview of the Islamic terrorists in the news called ISIS motivates them to capture, kill, and by any means accomplish conquest is what they in their worldview they have been taught and convinced is right. To us they are barbaric. To them, they are reformers returning the Middle East to its rightful order.
WORLDVIEW IS A CHOICE: The power of our worldview as the central processor, or filter that we see life through can’t be understated. Your worldview clearly reveals who you are as a person, more than any other element of our lives. Think for a moment about the power of our worldview. Worldview is what we believe. What we trust. What we consider reliable.
