In my first article on Perception,I defined Perception as that which colours the way you see, hear and therefore act. I considered perception under three areas of relationships:
I made mention of the fact that when it comes to relationships, perception is everything

In this second article on Perception, I'm focusing on Your Relationship with yourself.I intend to awaken or put on steroids, something inside you-self belief
Let the world doubt you, think and talk your inabilities;you are still invincible until you begin to believe them. When you loose faith in you, then it's really over.
Success or failure, excellence or mediocrity, Wealth or Poverty, they all begin from inside.
It takes only a man with a millionaire mind to acquire millions in reality
You will never be able to control people's views about you. I mean, you can be the most kind hearted person,and some people would still choose to believe you are wicked. There are those who would conclude that you are a snob, ever before they get the chance to speak to you.
When it comes to your perception of you, I'm not talking about what you do in the present. I'm not referring to your present deeds or capacity. I'm talking about what you've discovered to be your potentials whether or not you are living them in reality.
You know right now, you might have failed every project you've handled, and maybe still failing this very one you are handling. You might be failing in school; But somewhere inside you, do you get that feeling that you are not really a failure? Do you get that feeling inside that tells you that despite your current results and performances, you are exceptional? If you follow those inward promptings, they would lead you to a new world, where you make everything happen and live your best life.
Do you know, no one was born timid. No one was born fearful. No one was born a dummy. That you have become this you, that you don't like, has a beginning. Something happened to you. What happened to you?
DO YOU REALIZE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, ARE LIVING THEIR LIVES BASED ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF OTHERS? They are living another man's idea of them.
There are those who are poor today becauae they see themselves poor, they've always been told they are poor and can never achieved much. They've believed those nay Sayers. Now they live the reality of another's thoughts of them.
There are students who perform poorly in school today, because they believed those teachers who told them that they were dull and cannot perform excellently in their academics.
I'm asking you to pause for a moment:
If you can change your thinking, you can change your life.
Your life is in your hands. The quality of life you live is your making. Don't let other men's ideas of you rub you off your best. Get the right perspective of who you are and change your life's experiences. You were born to be applauded and cheered on, as you display your true self.
I know I'm talking plenty, but trust me, I'm just trying to help.
When you realise that really, you are living below your potentials and abilities, you need to take a detour. You need to change things, but how? How will you do this? I think I'm better than what I'm known to be. 'I think I can offer more than I am delivering right now, but I've found myself in this mess,what should I do?'
What I'll advice you do is, take a piece of paper, and title WHAT I THINK I AM
Write down everything about you that you think you are. Don't write down your experiences or current reality. Write down who you feel like you are inside. As you write, many times you will pause, as you would be interrupted with mixed feelings and emotions. You will get feelings of anger and an urgency to make a change. When you do, that's a good sign.
YOUR IMAGINATIVE POWER IS YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY
Now, if you were your best self, what would you be like? If you were able to achieve anything, be anything at its best, what would you be? If everything was well and going on smoothly, what would life be like? Think!
HOLD THAT PICTURE, ITS REAL!
whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve
There are no impossible dreams. No impossible dreams come into this world. If you can imagine it, then it's a reality. Hold on to that picture until it becomes overwhelming, until that's all you dream of, see, and speak. Get drunk with the fantasy of who you could really be. When you get to this point, you are like the pregnant mother who is ready to give birth.
When you are fully intoxicated with the new idea of who you are, it would make you take actions. You would begin to do things that would make you become indeed, the man you see in the mirror.
AS YOU TAKE THOSE STEPS, FEED THE INSPIRATION, TAKE MORE ACTIONS, MAKE IT CONSISTENT. NOTHING WILL STOP YOU
