Perception vs. Reality

I once heard that if we were to see through the eyes of someone else, it would seem like we were tripping.  Being in someone else’s mind, seeing things from their reality is an interesting concept.

I like to keep this in mind.  That reality never is as we believe it to be.  It’s just our perception of reality.  

The powerful thing about perception is that it can be changed at any time.  We can change our perception to view a situation in a different way.  

I like to use the concept of what I call the “big” me and “little” me.  You see little me thinks I’m just this little human battling the world and everything is happening to me. 

Big me understands that I am part of all that is. And that everything is divinely orchestrated for my highest good.  Even if it doesn’t seem like that at the time.

Perception is powerful and can help us become more compassionate.  The waiter is rude?  Maybe he just had a fight with his partner.  Driver cuts you off?  Maybe she reeeeally has to go to the bathroom.  Someone doesn’t get back to you?  Maybe they’re overwhelmed.

The point is, there is a big difference between reality and perception.  Remember this the next time you react.  And use the tool of perception to change how you view a situation.
