"Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is there an adequate perception of the world."-Hans Margolius
What are your perceptions of the world? Are they undistorted? Most likely not.
"The reality of life is that your perceptions -- right or wrong -- influence everything else you do. When you get a proper perspective of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place."
How do you get a proper perspective? You still your mind to allow yourself to see the reflection of the world, undistorted. The challenge that most of us face is that we can never get to that "stilled mind." We have too many other things running through there and we haven't learned to simply "Be Still."
What are our perceptions anyway? Are they truth or are they lies? How do you know? How often do you ask yourself why you have that perception of something or someone? Not often enough, we just go on thinking based on that perception, be it right or wrong.
"Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is there an adequate perception of the world."
