A worldview is your lens. How you interpret the world. Worldviews can be abstracted through three major frameworks: personal language, personal religion, and personal philosophy. Your personal language shapes how words and categories live inside you. Your personal religion shapes how you approach meaning, mystery, the unknown, and the unknowable. Your personal philosophy shapes how you reason, judge, value, and decide how to live.

Impermanence runs through everything, and that includes your worldview. Your worldview is not fixed. You can challenge, reshape, and redefine inherited beliefs and values. You don’t just have a worldview, you have control of its evolving frameworks.

Worldview is related to identity, but they are not the same. Your worldview is how you interpret reality. Your identity is how you understand yourself within that reality. The two influence each other constantly. Change your worldview, and your identity will shift. Change your identity, and the world will look different.
