Theme of the week: Perception
Today, I would love to discuss with you all about my feelings regarding Perception and how it is related to happiness.
To the dictionary, perception is a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression. Most would probably agree with this definition, because it is usually difficult to assign words to a theme or idea.
Perception about happiness, so what do I mean when I say that?
Everyday in our lives, we are faced with events that can alter our take on that day: a boss suggests that some of his workers aren't preforming as well as they should be; an A- on a test you did not study for; a close friend lies and is betraying. Wether a situation is positive or negative, the key in life to achieve happiness is about how your perceive these actions.
Taking my scenarios, look at the boss situation as an opprotunity to strive to preform your best.
The test grade may not have felt earned due to your lack of studying, but didn't it make your day?
When a close friend lies or is betraying, you have to try to put yourself in their shoes. It is up to your mental impression; you are in control of the issue at this point.
So for the summer, take some time to fabricate reasons for events that occur. YOU are in charge. That rude lady talking on the phone next to you? Don't get annoyed about her prating. Consider her situation, you are not the person to judge. At the end of the day, that judging will only bring you down.
Enjoy the summer!
