Perception Management
Royce Shook
Transition to Retrement
Try another way of looking at the world, by changing your perception, I call this Personal Perception Management:
And the next time someone doesn't take your view into account, think, "That's okay, I was once like that and today I listen and take the other person's view into account."
And if someone steals from you, think, "It was nothing, they must think they need it more than I and I forgive them."
Or lies to you, think, "I'm sorry you feel that need to lie to me, what is it I have done to make you afraid of me."
When someone:
- Is rude to you, "Cheer up, it'll be okay, they must be having a terrible day, I hope I can make their day better."
- Judges you, "Thanks for sharing your truth, but I have my own truth."
- Drives by you like a bat out of hell, "Be careful, my friend. I want you to arrive alive where ever it is you need to be now."
And the next time someone greets you with a smile, smile back like you're sharing a secret.
