Our Perception Is Our Reality

How we perceive our reality is our reality. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. Our perception can be empowering or disempowering. Nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it. Perception can be a combination of thoughts, feelings, actions, self talk, or attitudes toward a specific thing. If we evaluate our perception in all things, and change it to an empowering one that is in alignment with our goals, we will change our reality.
