Dear
Did you read my last mail to you?
I wrote to you about perception. I told you it is one of the distinguishing qualities that self governing people possess.
The way you perceive things is such a big deal. It determines your thoughts and actions.
I'd answer a few questions that you might have had from reading my last mail. It will help you in having the right perception of things.
Why do I think the way I do?
You think the way you do because of what you have been exposed to.
Perception is like fluid, it takes the shape of the container you put it in.
Your environment and experiences are the containers. They have the greatest influence on how you perceive things.
This happens whether or not you are conscious of it. That is why one of the greatest harm you can do to yourself is to be unintentional about the things you're exposed to.
How can I change the way I perceive things?
Even though perception is like fluid, it is not very fluid. It is not easily changed.
To change your perception, you must be ready to;
- Create sufficient time to study yourself; analyse your patterns of thought, replay your actions and reactions, and understand your behavior.
- Search voraciously for the truth - what is true about you? What did God intend for you?
- Now that you have discovered what is true of yourself in the first point, and what should be true of you in the second, you can now start to create a different environment for yourself by exposing yourself constantly to what should be your reality.
I hope you get this.
