We've all heard it... Perception is reality. The reality is that perception can be everything. In some cases it's the only thing. How do we change that? How do we change our perception of people, situations, experiences? Honestly, first we have to care enough to change it, and then understand how that perception was created. Maybe it's broken trust, gossip, something we think we saw. We have to think about the moment. Sometimes we have to remove the emotions from it to really see it. Often in those moments of extreme feelings things can get lost in translation. Think about it. What something means to one person may not mean the same to another. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. We are constantly encouraged to express our individuality. Perception through experience allows for that. It's what makes us who we are. No matter what is said or done, how it makes us feel is how it is perceived. Happy, sad, angry, content. Every emotion lends itself to a perception. How we look at ourselves will influence how we look at others. All of it plays in to the day to day perceptions we allow ourselves to have. Our moments are ours. Our feelings, our point of view, our situation, our environment belong to us. So remember, we can think the good or bad into any situation. It's a choice. Dark-Gives us opportunity to see the light. Adversity-Gives us opportunity to overcome. Hurt-Gives us opportunity to heal. Faith-That gives us the strength to believe when it seems impossible to believe. So, as we hope to be perceived, so should we try to perceive others. Get the facts. We must take a moment to listen, to know, to understand others. After all our belief tells us to "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31). Have faith that even in our darkest moments there is beauty, strength, and hope. Let yourself feel the good in people. Let yourself see the power of positive points of view. After all it might just be your positive perception of things that inspires others to see the same.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you let God's light shine in your life. That you take time to look at every situation from the eyes of compassion, understanding, empathy. That you are open to move past perceptions and find truths.
Have a blessed, safe, and healthy day everyone.
