Perceptions can either weigh someone down or lift someone up. Regardless, they are inevitably always wrong. There are many moments, feelings, and series of life events that cause individuals to act a certain way. Most of the time we don’t even know why we respond in such practices. Especially since in today’s society it is extremely rare for people to not move at a fast pace for survival reasons.
We now live in a world, where taking the time to process to understand our sub-conscience behaviors to become in tune with ourselves is not a necessity. The easier route is to make quick rash decisions and fill our minds will frivolous information. It has become the norm that one’s perception of another person’s behavior or actions is factual. This does not sit well in my heart, mind, or gut.
I got wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of today’s society and started to lean on my perceptions. I honestly didn’t even know it was happening. Now that I am aware, I choose not to be the norm and not think my perceptions are reality. This choice and next venture are going to be rough because I also choose to not fight other people’s perceptions they have taken and spread about me. I am going to trust that these choices will lead me to feel more content with not only myself but hopefully cause a ripple effect. It is time to take a beat, step back, and choose to be better.
