“We truly have no idea what goes on in people's lives. Any comparison we make to them is based on our perception of who they are and often our perception is way off base.”

“We can control our lives by controling our perceptions.”

“If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.”

“What we can change is our perceptions, which have the effect of changing everything.”

“Everything in this world is based on interpretation, how we as people interpret the people and events and feelings around us. Then our interpretation defines us. Who we are is usually based on how we react to circumstances.”

“Experiences that we remember intrusively, despite desperately wanting to banish them from our minds, are closely linked to, and sometimes threaten, our perceptions of who we are and who we would like to be.”
