Perception meets you at the intersection of your beliefs and reality.

About This Quote

Perception meets you at the intersection of your beliefs and reality. The message here is that if our beliefs don't align with reality, the rest of the world is not going to see things the way we do. Specifically, when we make decisions based on our beliefs about how things should be, we are likely to make decisions that will result in disappointment. It is always better to make changes if they are required or go with the flow if you're not sure what's best for you.

This may seem like a negative message, but it's actually quite encouraging. When we stop trying to force our beliefs to match reality, we begin to see that all of the "shoulds" in our lives are completely unnecessary.
