Perception Becomes Reality
The more I explore the Law of Attraction the more I come to see that what I call reality is nothing more than my perception of what is happening around me. I have had far too many experiences in which a simple shift of perception has literally transformed my reality. And I have witnessed and been involved in enough situations in which two or more people have perceived “reality” in vastly different ways. Yet for each of them, their perceived “reality” was “true.”
And, of course, because what we focus on expands, our perceptions of reality, perceptions that become our experience of reality, fuel the expansion and attraction of more experiences that validate that perception.
So becoming aware of the ways in which we are perceving the world around us as well as our inner world is important work on the path of Deliberate Creation.
Back in March of last year, I had a perception-busting experience thanks to a bag of wasabi peas. This entry, Wasabi Peas Have A 1000 Year Shelf-Life! takes a light-hearted, yet enlightening look at how easy it is to fall into the trap of allowing our perceptions to form our sense of reality.

Absolutely agree.
Recently I have some issue with my staff at work.
While feeling frustrated, I reminded myself about the law of attraction.
So I stop thinking of the bad things that happen. Rather I visualize my staff are smiling at me when I walk into the office.
This positive energy created is so huge that 3 days later my staff wrote me an apology about what happened and the working spirit came back into the team.
Just like what Bob Proctor says in his Free report: We become what we most think about. This is a powerful report, which I hope more people can benefit. Have made it available at my website. Enjoy!
It’s true, your perception of what is happening to you is very important when it comes to how you handle it. Very true for relationships, too!
True, reality is always are perception, therefore if we change our perception we change our reality. Good reminder.
Yes, I agree that our perception will be our reality
What You Think About is What You Bring About

[…] Mills’ blog post, Perception Becomes Reality struck a chord with me. He says: The more I explore the Law of Attraction the more I come to see […]
The truly beautiful thing about perceptions is that we have full control over them - and when you look at reality from the viewpoint that you’ve just posted about, Edward, it becomes so very clear why LOA works, and how we truly can deliberately create our reality.

Perception is reality. Been one of my mantras for a number of years especially when dealing with management issues. Very cool to read someone who has thought much about that.
Karen: That’s a powerful example of the Law of Attraction in Action. Thanks for sharing it!
Phil (Romantic Ideas): Don’t I know it about relationships! A week in Kauai alone with your wife, for the first time in over 3-years, goes a long way toward pointing out exactly what you are attracting!
Mark: It truly is that simple. Of course simple is not always easy!
Belle: I’m not sure that I agree with you that we have full control over our perceptions. If you mean that in “theory” we have control over them, yes. But in practice, most of our perceptions are handled unconsciously and therefore are not within our conscious control. It is not until we draw our perceptions into our conscious awareness that they become controllable.
Phil (Thought Sparks): I’d love to read some of your observations and experiences related to perception as reality in management situations!

Edward Mills learns how a simple shift in perception can change your reality……
We are capable, in more ways than we are aware of, control our reality. A lot of people throw around the term, “naturally gifted.” What naturally gifted is, is having a mind-set that is helpful to whatever the task at hand is. We are the only species on earth that are capable of metacognition (comprehending thought process). By changing your view of the world you can lift certain inhibitions, therefore changing results. By doing this you can change your reality. Nothing exists without perception.
something maybe a little off the topic.I have also been exploring the law of attraction and done much thinking about perception and reality.What bothers me is,are our perceptions really always our own?So much of what we think nowadays comes from our ever growing subversion in the media.From a marketing perspective,what i begin to see more and more is that advertising and the media seem to create our reality.Does this mean that,using a trivial example,all jeans are the same,but when i walk into a designer jeans store like Diesel the jeans there automatically look so much better and more appealing to me than the jeans i saw five minutes earlier at the cheaper store?Does it only look good because thats where,for instance,my value lies?With designer clothing?Is what i see and feel in that store only a product of the marketing?
A lot of your perception ends up being your attitude and your beliefs up until that point. If your internal belief is you can’t do something, no matter how much you say you can it just won’t happen. Perception needs to be changed by working on the inside as much as focusing your thoughts and your words on what you do want.
@Imraan: It’s a great point. Perception is ultimately an individual experience, but it is nearly impossible to completely extract yourself from the collective beliefs. One of the primary tasks of the Deliberate Creator is to continuously uncover personal beliefs and perceptions that are being influenced by the collective. Ultimately, whether it’s a new pair of jeans, a new car or a new relationship, our work is to dig deeper and uncover our personal desires, outside of the influence of the collective.
@Barbara: You’re absolutely right. Perception is most definitely an inside job.
“Perception” although is a small term, but has history behind it. Its reality and situation that gives rise to perception which we then try to concieve as reality because we are weak. A strong person never conceives perception as reality.
A child conceived ghost ambushing in a tree because people near him told him or made him feel of that ghost and the weak hearted child percieved it. Growing older, his strength overpowered his fear and then he came to know that his perception is not reality.
Perceptiion is a reality only for those who are weak and always want to remain in their comfortable zone. We must come come out of our frame of mind and feel things as they are without using our preferences only then will we come to know that perception is just a myth.
