Perception of Self

Getting to the Kaur of It with some simple truths.

Original Photograph.

It took me years to understand that how I saw myself was the most important factor in shaping my experience. I used to wait eagerly for either a nod of approval from a family member or a promotion before allowing myself to feel some sense of worth. Looking back now it is clear that what I wanted all along was to feel at home in myself. Here are some truths I picked up along the way:

1. Be mindful of your
   perception of self. Often
   we lean too much on
   what others think before
   we tap inward.
2. Everything does not
   warrant a reaction
   in life. Sometimes
   the best reaction
   is to have none at all.
3. How you choose to
   live your life should be
   based on how it makes
   you feel, not on how it
   looks or feels to
   those around you.
