"Perception makes projection"

"Perception makes projection," meaning that every time we're upset about something, we look to what we're thinking. The problem is always our projected perception, not what appears to be happening. - Sane Curriculum

It is a reminder for me that perception plays a part in how I respond to any given situation. I am learning to manage my perceptions in life, and I think one way to do so is meditation - to take a step back and breathe deeply and look into the nature of a given situation or problem and reflect on how it may be addressed in a calm and rational manner with love and understanding. This may take time and practice.
