    1) While people may experience the same situation, they often perceive it differently based on their past experiences, tendencies, and biases. 2) Rather than assuming those who see things differently are wrong, we should acknowledge that perceptions vary and try to understand different points of view. 3) To improve relationships, we need to be aware of our own biases and open to the possibility that our perception is not the only reality. We should show empathy for others' perspectives instead of trying to change their views.

    PERCEPTION?

    OR REALITY?
    When we were children, we used to play the guessing game called
    "What shape is the cloud?"

    Each one of us would see the same clouds, but all our answers were different. Based on our imagination and
    creativity, in the same cloud, we could see shapes of horses, wolves, old people, trees, dragons, and whatnot.

    LIFE IS LIKE THAT GUESSING GAME.


    We all might be present in the same situation, but we all might perceive the situation in
    entirely different ways. Each of us has our own version of reality, our own mental impression
    of the truth. But we often forget to acknowledge that. We all absorb stimuli selectively to form
    our perceptions depending upon our interests, tendencies, past experiences, mental sets, and
    biases. And that is different for different people.
    So why do we always assume
    that everyone who sees the
    world as we see it is a rational
    person, whereas people who
    see the world differently than
    us are fools?
    Our perceptions define our
    behavior. If we are not
    flexible with our
    understanding of different
    PERCEPTION perceptions, this can often
    lead to severe consequences
    IS A VERY like damaged relationships in
    our professional and
    POWERFUL personal lives.
    THING.
    So, what can
    we do?
    01

    Firstly, we must open up to the possibility that


    our perception of reality is not necessarily
    everyone's version of reality. Let us show some
    compassion and empathy and try not to
    persuade people to change their perceptions
    and come to our side of the kaleidoscope.
    02

    We should be self-aware of our own perceptions and try to


    identify and understand where our thoughts are coming
    from. How are we looking into the world with the tainted
    glasses in our minds? Is that a dark tainted glass or rosy
    pink colored?

    If we have a negative mindset, can we try to change that


    into a neutral or positive one, and begin to see things and
    people in a better way? Are our perceptions swayed by
    stereotypes etched in our subconscious minds? Can we
    consciously try to change that?
    Once we are aware of our own biases, we can quickly identify our blind spots too.
    And an open and conscious mind would always help us accept others' points of
    view, which will improve the way we interact with each other, leading to more
    fulfilling relationships.
    And the more we discuss different perspectives; we might
    start seeing a more significant part of the bigger picture.
    LET'S OPEN OUR MINDS
    AND DISCOVER THE
    POTPOURRI OF THE
    CLOUDS' SHAPES
    IN OUR DIFFERENT
    YET SAME SKY.
