I am not who you think I am or am I. Can my self perception affect the way others look at me

How can my perception affect the way people look at me…? (part 1)
How can my perception affect the way people look at me…?
Often times we (human beings) tend to overanalyze, and jump forward mentally into situations with certain expectations, causing in us anxiety, fear, and anticipation.
How do I look?
How do I smell?
Is my hair ok?
A never-ending list with everything that can go wrong. Yet have we actually compared our thoughts and anticipations with the actual outcome? How many times have we gotten nervous and when the actual time comes, voila! Nothing happens!
But if we were to discuss the laws of attraction applied to our daily lives, this is something to ponder on. If you have a mental image of yourself, as ugly, fat, undesirable, what do you think that you’re sending to the universe?
Let us start from the beginning, the laws of attraction state that wherever you put your attention and emotion will increases its vibration and attraction towards you. Meaning, you attract to yourself whether good or bad, rich or poor, whatever pulls your emotions the most. And which of these two emotions do you think is the strongest?
- Wow, I look beautiful!
- Yikes! I look horrible!
If you are like the most, you will feel horrible with more intensity than beautiful; therefore, what signal are you sending to the universe more powerfully?
Stating this: My point:
Most of us grow with so many images of what we should be:
“I shall find a prince; marry him in the town’s church with everybody present. I will live happily ever after”… right!
What if I’m different? What if I don’t want to marry a prince and ride a pumpkin carouse? What if I dream of a princess? Whoa! Now were in trouble!
How has society portrayed homosexuals in the media? How did our family talk about that special “uncle” or “cousin”? If you didn’t hear outright homophobia, you would then hear that “these” were people destined to be lonely and unhappy.
Having said this, we grow then with so much burden, so dark and hopeless, and here we are all grown up. How do you feel being that special “uncle” or “cousin”? How about that movie your family watched, you heard them criticize. Did you notice your similarities with him (her)?
Having made my point, I then say this: who are they to tell you who you are (family, society, movies, government)?
Who are they to tell you how to feel?
How about if it’s all you feeling, what about if you are the character in that movie and you are that uncle or cousin, and you will then demonstrate that they were wrong… How?
How about if you believe in yourself and know that like the perfect blue in the sky, or the perfectly created sunset between the snowy mountains, you are as perfect. Love yourself and don’t prejudge yourself just because your attractions are not that of fairytale movies, then, create the fairy tale for yourself. Love and cherish who you are before going out on the street. If you have the mental garbage or previously inserted cassette in your mind telling you what you should, could or not then look for books, spiritual, self help, physichology, whatever moves you and feel better with yourself. Once you let go the mental garbage, you will go out on the streets with a clean slate mind, your family will act differently, so will your co-workers and friends. And ultimately you will feel different with their responses as well, you will learn as you teach
Don’t believe me…. try!
