As a human being, your performance will be directly linked to how you perceive your capabilities. Anything you will ever accomplish in life will be because you thought that you could achieve that at some point along the way. Many don’t realize how we perceive ourselves is usually the result of our conditioning by our society, parents, culture, political affiliation, or gender. How you perceive a situation will determine how you experience this thing called life, and how you experience life is what we refer to as our reality. Your reality is directly correlated to your the lens through which you view life. If you can perceive yourself in a certain way, you will start to behave that way. We know that actions and behavior are what determine our results. So for me to get the results that I want, I must change the way I view myself.
So the question to ask yourself is, why are you not considering yourself in the highest possible vision? You must dig deep and figure out why you don't think you can be so much more than what you are. You'll see that your perception of yourself was probably shaped by someone else due to your unawareness of taking on their perceptions. Human beings are amazing creatures, there is no boundary as to what a human being can do, but you first had to have the vision of you being that version of yourself.
So I challenge you to stop taking on the perceptions of someone else. Whether it's your boss, spouse, parents, or political party, no matter what it is. You are at a place where you can start to form your perceptions. When you can develop your perceptions, now you are taking the bull by the horns and living the life you have always wanted to live. The power is in your perception.
