Do you know?
‘your perceptions are your reality!’
Our world is created by our thoughts and beliefs, and our perceptions of events (and of ourselves) determine how we experience life. If we believe that life is gloomy, then we will perceive gloom in events and by that perception we have drawn gloom into our lives and gloom is what we then experience. On the other side if we believe that life is cheerful, then we will perceive happiness in events and by that perception we have drawn happiness into our lives and happiness is what we then experience.
Another way to put it is the way we view things is really only a reflection of our self beliefs, and not necessarily ‘how it really is’. I love how Dr. Phil puts it, “There is no reality – only perception”.
We actually look for what our perception of an event is. And what you search for is what you will find! So if you search for gloom you will find gloom and if you search for happiness you will find happiness. It really depends where your focus is. A great example of this is where two people who attended the same party and one’s recollection of the night was that it was boring and the other had the best night ever. If you look hard enough you will find what you are searching for.
We only need to look at a situation from a different angle, or from another’s point of view, (or see the ‘bigger’ picture), and that can totally change our experience of life and countless events.
How are you experiencing life? Do you look for the good or bad in people, are rich people ruthless or generous, are you grateful for what you have or do you complain, do you look for the fun or misery in things you do? You WILL find what you are looking for!
Remember when you bought your last car and all of a sudden you started to see it everywhere, the exact colour, make and model. It didn’t happen all of a sudden, they were always there it’s just that your focus changed. You were not looking for it in the past. What will you be searching for now?
A Great Read

Beneath the Waves
By Michael Gordon with Layne Beachley
After losing her adopted mother at the age of six and then being told she was adopted at the age of eight, Layne decided that she was going to be the best in the world at something. She believed being the best would earn her love and respect. The need to be loved and approved of drove her to become the winner of a record seven women’s world surfing championships. Lanye is a truly inspirational woman.

Something to Ponder
Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.
