A collection of inspirational wisdom, sayings
and quotes on the subject of beliefs and perception.
The way we view things is really only a reflection
of our self beliefs, and not necessarily 'how it really is'.
Dr. Phil puts it this way, "There is no reality - only
perception".
We all create the world around us by our thoughts
and beliefs, and our perceptions of events (and of ourselves)
determine how we experience life. If we believe that life
is gloomy, then we will perceive gloom in events and by that
perception we have drawn gloom into our lives and gloom is what
we then 'experience.
"A hostile person lives in a hostile world,
A loving person lives in a loving world."
We only need to look at a situation from a different
angle, or from another's point of view, (or see the 'bigger'
picture), and that can totally change our experience
of life and its myriad of events.
The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeing new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.
~ Marcel Proust ~
Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.
~ Gary
Zukav ~
Life is the movie you see
through your own unique eyes.
It makes little difference
what's happening out there.
It's how you take it
that counts.
~ Dr Dennis Waitley, motivational

(from 'The Winner's Edge') ~
We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we
started
and to know the place for the first time.
~ T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
Poet, Dramatist and Literary Critic ~
Truth is that which does not contaminate you, but empowers you.
Therefore, there are degrees of truth, but, generically,
truth is that which can do no harm.
It cannot harm.
~ Gary
Zukav from "Seat
Of The Soul" ~
We do not see things as they are.
We see them as we are.
~ The Talmud ~
What we think,
or what we know,
or what we believe,
is, in the end, of little consequence.
The only consequence is what we do.
~ John Ruskin ~

Don't
believe what your eyes are telling you.
All they show is limitation.
Look with your understanding,
find out what you already know,
and you'll see the way to fly.
~ Richard Bach
