What is Really Happening?
Life Coach Brian Tregunna provides an insight into how we see the world.
A big part of my work as a Life Coach is about helping clients to understand what is really happening with their lives and then empowering them to achieve the outcomes they want.
Naturally, we all tend to see our lives and the world around us from our own internal perspective. But that seldom represents the whole picture, as we all have a complicated set of internal filters that delete, distort and generalise how we respond to our various experiences. That’s why it’s often good to speak with other people about difficult or complicated situations, whether that’s a trusted friend, a family member or a professional Life Coach.
After all, what is reality? Psychologist & author, Dr Philip McCaw said, ‘there is no reality, only perception.’ Our personal reality is the world as we choose to see it. Still need convincing about that?
What I if told you
You the read first line wrong?
Same the with second line
And also the third
Now, look at the picture below. Do you see a young woman or an old woman?
Perhaps you can see both?
It’s a simple ink drawing but different people see it in different ways. So it becomes a metaphor for life as a whole. There is no reality, only perception.
There are too many details about our internal filters to fully discuss in this short article, but the three main factors that influence our perceptions are our genetics, our upbringing and our various life experiences. It’s these and other factors such as values, attitudes and beliefs that I often discuss with my coaching clients to help them take greater control over their emotions, behaviours and lifestyle.
We all have much more potential than we often give ourselves credit for and we can all exert a much stronger influence upon our lives then we commonly perceive.
