Have you ever noticed how two people can go through the exact same situation and feel it completely differently? That’s because we don’t see the world as it is, we see it through our own lens.
Perception is projection simply means, what we notice in others is often a mirror of what’s happening inside us. If we’re carrying self doubt, we might assume others are judging us. But when we’re feeling confident and secure, we’re far more likely to notice kindness, opportunities, and support around us.
Why this matters
The moment we realise the outside world reflects our inside world, we take back our power. Instead of getting stuck in blame or frustration, we can gently ask ourselves:
What is this showing me about me?
How can I choose to see this differently?
Try this today
The next time you feel triggered, judged, or unsettled, pause and ask: “What part of me is this reflecting?” That tiny shift in awareness can open the door to big changes.
The takeaway
Life isn’t just happening to us, it’s happening through us. And when we shift what’s happening inside, the world around us begins to shift too.
