In this world, you can choose to be positive, or you can choose to be negative. You can choose to see things through a set of eyes that sees good, or you can choose to see things in life that aren't so good.

Regardless of the magnitude of the decision, our brains make it hard for us to keep the perspective we need to make good choices.

We perceive through our senses a person, a situation or an event, and in an instant, we project our mental models - our fears, background and experiences - onto that perception. This often results in cognitive errors, which means we judge and respond incorrectly.

If you say that you're all about a certain something, and look back and see that the choices that you've made don't reflect that, then there's something for you to look at.

What I had to learn was, that I'm only responsible for my perception of things. The world's not out to get you. That's not the way it works.

At some point you start seeing the difference between what you really want, and what is your priority order. I feel that today I know what I want. That's the problem with perspective, as well as focus and concentration.

I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience.

I think that you really don't have a choice, when you see that things are wrong the only choice you really have is to just do what you can to make it better.

You definitely have to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things. It may not seem like it's a big deal to you yourself, but there's a bigger picture.
