The Power of Perception.

At the Bliss Blogs we are about to open a can of worms on perspective and perception. It will sound a little crazy; but once you understand the power of your perception, you will be completely free to believe in all of your possibilities.

How far back can you remember? At the age of two, five or later? How about six months old? How about yesterday? Whatever you think your earliest beginning's are is not who you are. Who you are is not who you think you are if you define yourself in terms of your experiences. But the rub is that you are what you think you are. So if you think you're dumb then that's what you'll experience. If you think you're amazing then that's what you'll experience. If you believe that you are T and A then you will experience the world in very sexual terms.

That is the power of perception.

The power of perception rests on the idea that what you think is real isn't really real, but you're perceived reality. It's like when two people have very different ideas on beauty standards; neither perspective is better than the other because it's all about perception. This is the way life works. You're life will manifest itself according to your perspective and your perception.

Having perspective and perception are an intricate part of self-awareness. It is these very two ideas that can make or break your human experience. Often we think and consequently believe that who we are is a combination of the experiences that we've encountered in our past. We define ourselves by our family income, hereditary features, physical and emotional abuse, our communities, our churches, but the essential truth is that is not who you are.

We'll you make be asking yourself: "Well who the hell am I?" The Bliss Blogs will give you the short and the long. The short: You are truth and light. The long: whatever magnificent list of adjectives you can use to describe yourself.

Who you are is not where you've been. You are not your past; you are your possibilities. Think about that statement. You are your possibilities. It means that you have the power to create in the now whatever you hope to experience in the future. Many of us make the mistake of defining ourselves by our limiting, debilitating experiences from the past. What we end up doing is repeating more of the same in the future because we continually define ourselves from the old mental mix tapes.

The solution is to live in the now and to forgive. The past can be used as your tool for valuable life lessons; not a tool for self-defining truth. Nix all blame-shifting and whoa is me, and put into practice removing all labels you've attached to yourself: fat, dumb, skinny, lazy, crazy, stupid, useless, and worthless. You are love in motion, and you're life will be unbelievable once you realize this essential truth.
