We often travel through life on auto-pilot. Waking up, going about our routine business of the day, return home to disengage, and relive the cycle over again tomorrow. I KNOW THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS! When the destination is an Ideal, It is the spirit of the journey and how it is executed that is the true experience and fulfillment in life.

Perception is Reality


Reality is defined most clearly by the individual who perceives.

For the Purpose of Defining this Blog let's interpret that assertion as: "Perception Is Reality"

When observing others, one can only wonder what might be going on in their mind, how they might be seeing the world around them. Is their Reality different from our own...? In so far as our perceptions differ, Yes!

Two people experience the same rainy day, in the same place, at the same time.
At the end of that day a person calls each of them and asks- "How was the weather?"
The first person responds with- 
"Miserable! It's been cold and rainy, Ugh. I've been stuck inside"
The second person responds with- 
"Wonderful! It rained all day. I've spent the day curled up in my favorite blanket, reading my favorite book"

Same rainy day --- Different Perspectives.

In a material sense, we all have common perceptions of the world. There is no mistaking that our physical reality has common characteristics which we all perceive in the same way.....
The Rain- The Objective Reality.

So what is the difference in the two realities?

Subjective Reality
