The art of perception is a skill and it looks like you are well aware of your responsibility to master it. I believe that in order to perfect this; there are Three Key areas to focus on:Seed PlantingRecognizing IllusionsKindnessContinue to be accountable for your contributions to your current situation and you will continue to prosper. You are in control of your story. Make it one you are proud of. Negative ThoughtsHave you ever heard you are what you think? You must believe it in order for it to be true? Let’s pretend for a moment that a botanist gave you two different seeds. You were instructed to plant them both in rich well drained soil but you were only allowed to water one. The first seed will grow to a big strong tree that will protect you from storms. It will bear fruit for you to eat. It will be fragrant and beautiful. The second seed will also grow to be a big strong tree that will protect you from the storm. It too will bear fruit but this fruit is poisonous so you cannot eat it.
