Perception

Perception is how we look at and interpret events.

 Our interpretation influences our reaction which in turn creates an outcome. If we are aware of this chain of events, then we can consciously influence our perception and therefore choose a response that will result in a favourable outcome for us. The trick here is to understand that our knee jerk perception and response to an event might not create the best outcome for us. Luckily we can train our minds to hold fire and consider how best to perceive the event and then to offer a response. T

his response will almost always have better consequences than our "original "response. The funny thing about most useful life skills is that they are very simple in concept but hugely powerful when applied consistently. The tragedy for many people in this age of complicated technology is that they don't believe anything will work unless it is devilishly complicated. I hope you know better.
