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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.
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.
We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.
I feel like I learn something from everything I do.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.
I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.
I think I've learned the difference between the things I can control and the things I can't control. And hopefully, by doing the things I can control well, I'll have more favor in the other category.
You realize you have no control over how you're perceived.
You can't rely on your own perception when it comes to anything. You can always be proved wrong.
I'm particularly interested in how you can't rely on your own perception.
