Examining Perception


Examining Perception

Imagine being in front of a mountain range.

This huge mountain range is captivating.

You can see the tops of mountains in every direction.

At the highest points, you can even see snow.

Despite being in front of this beautiful vista, now imagine.

Imagine you are standing in front of this vista with a magnifying glass. 

And through that magnifying glass, you're focused on the flower in front of you. 

You are focused on immediately what is in front of you.

And this is your perception. 

This perception, or vantage point, creates your reality. 

It is often said that perception is reality. 

If you see this as true, how often do you examine your perception? 

How often do you examine your magnifying glass?

And how often do you change your perception? 

Creating the space for this can serve you in changing your perception.

And possibly, your reality, too.
