Perception

“Perception is an active construction of the mind, rather than rather than a valid representation of objective reality.”

I think that perception is more important than reality. I once read a theory, that people’s behavior is based upon perception rather than reality. Let’s consider this – if people perceive an event as occurring, they will behave as if it actually did.

This is fascinating for me, and really puts positive (and negative) thinking in a whole new light. Your frame of mind and focus, limits and frames your success.

On another note

I think I am much better talking to girls when drinking. I’m confident, smooth, funny – not like my usually weird funny – I’m not the only one laughing this time. But maybe, I think I am better at talking to girls because I am drinking. But me perceiving I am better with girls, empowers me to behave as if I am, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Want to have a drink?
