Perception is Reality

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves" - C.G. Jung

Like it or not, perception for many people is reality. Have you ever said these words or something similar? “If they only get to know me, they will see I am a nice person.” Maybe you did not say those words about yourself but about another person. The truth is, a person’s perception is their reality. It is very critical that we send the right aura and “vibe” to foster the right perception.

Of course there will always be the villain, the hater or antagonist that will not like you just because you are breathing. Their perception will remain warped until they get over their own insecurities and self-worth issues.

“I don’t care what people think” is a futile statement made by a lot of people. A more clever statement to make is “I will not allow what people think to drive my every decision and happiness.” Life lived to its fullest potential requires a person to live for more than themselves.

Do you think others perception of you is accurate?
