Alter your perception.

We control how we react depending on how we choose to contemplate a situation. You can look at a glass half empty or half full. You decide how you feel. The way you perceive your surroundings determine your mood. No one is hopelessly unhappy because there's a brighter side to every situation. It might be difficult for you to see the light in the midst of thick darkness but it's there and it always will be. By altering your perception, you can look at the world from a different point of view. You shouldn't be filled with negativity and put your self down, but neither should you be unnecessarily cocky. Just remember, your perception is your reality. If you consider things to be dull and boring, than they're nothing but dull and boring. Take the time to scan your surroundings and review your life. Did you consciously decide to create the reality you're living now, or was it mainly shaped by your parents, friends, or even the media? If you aren't fond of the story of your living, then change the perception. Be the author of your own life, take charge and envision the next chapter of your story. We all claim to know everything about ourselves and insist that we live our own life so we should be able to do whatever we wish to do, but exactly how many of us actually take that advantage and use it to the fullest? Everything begins with a decision, decide now to be in charge of your own perception of reality. If you don't, there are plenty of others whose sole purpose in life is to craft that perception for you.
