There are many versions of reality, but the only one that matters is yours.
You're influenced by a lot of incoming noise, biases, and your personal filtered points of view. Right or wrong, throwing all these factors and many others into the mix creates your perception of any situation.
And in that way, your perception becomes your reality.
For various reasons, you will probably embrace your perceptions. They are safe because they are known as a product of your past experiences, as well as new information that you deem as the truth, and that you want to believe is the truth.
It's easy to get trapped by your perceptions.
But don't blindly fall in love with what you think you see at the expense of what's really there.
