There is no reality

Ok, I know what you are thinking....Eduardo has really lost it this time. Lost touch with reality, must be time to call in the guys with the white coats to take him away.

However, before they come to get me, let me say this; There is no reality, only perception.

We all experience our world through the perceptions that we have. You could say that our perceptions are like filters. For instance if you view your world based on your past experiences, then you are allowing your past to dictate your present and your future.

If you have negative beliefs you will see faults in everything. This will limit your openess to a whole pile of opportunities that might come your way. Not good!

The good news is that we have the choice to decide how we are going to perceive any situation or event in our life and we can assign meaning and value to the situation. This is like positive thinking for smart people.

Let's say for instance that you are one those who holds a belief that 'things always work out for me'. Then it follows that whatever happens, you will automatically start looking for a solution. You just won't panic or get as down as another person with a less optomistic view of the world.

Imagine a person who carries around a belief like, 'I'm just not smart enough'? That person won't succeed in anything because they will be thinking to themselves, 'why bother trying anyway'.

So go ahead and delude yourself happily, at least you will open yourself to opportunities you might never have dreamed about..

What would be a good belief for you to have?
