What would your world look like if you could only see yourself through others’ lens and point of view instead of your own? If they could paint a canvas based on their perception and opinion, would it look something like this?
• You’re always late
• Why is it so hard for you to understand
• You’re so talented
• Where were you when I needed you
• You’re so strong, you can do anything
People’s perceptions of you are nothing but some disorganized and inflated opinions. They are not facts, they are merely someone’s projection instead of reflection.
Picture that canvas right now, what does it look like? Does it make you proud or does it make you cringe? Now compare who you truly are to that canvas, how accurate is it? I hope that you are living according to your self-awareness and not according to others’ perception. If you are living according to your self-awareness, then congratulations, you are ahead of most people, but if you are living based on what others perceive then you are a willing participant who is consenting to what happens to you and that hurts you far more than the actual perception.
