Perception is Reality – if you don’t choose wisely

Posted February 4th, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Career

Just a quick ramble on an unavoidable truth… what we perceive to be real becomes reality. The news media seems to have a corner on this market and the stock market exists based on this simple truth. The imploding world economy and the devaluing of our assets (cars, homes, jobs?, time?) also seem to prove the fact that no matter how big and strong a balloon looks it is still filled with air.

The most important life lesson for the rest of us is to try an remember to take everything with a grain of salt and try to stay focused on what is really important like family, friends, shelter, water, food, and of course our freedom, which is often taken for granted.

I guess I’m thinking about this more today because the ill-conceived perception bombs are too close for comfort. Instead of getting caught up in the blindness I’m going to refocus on the positive and know that the real truth and know that the storm will pass and truth will eventually prevail.
