How Others Perceive You

Many people will perceive you in the light of what they know about you and what they are willing to conceptualize about you. The perceptions they throw at you are usually their own resisted creations, which are their own limitations, weaknesses, and failures. Most of us feel that the best way to judge ourselves is to judge others by our shortcomings – it has a way of making us feel less accountable. Being caught up in this worldview leads us into a world of low confidence and no opportunities in life. In fact, it can be said that you learn about other people by what they blame others for or judge others to be doing. If someone accuses you of something, that person is creating an identity for you to respond to and when you respond to it, you are accepting his or her opinion. You have now become part of their creation and not your own.

When you allow people to have this sort of control over you, you have abandoned your own ideas. Once you accept their creation of you, you end up spending all your energy resisting it. You have now identified and resisted the creation and are supporting it by way of your own energy. They no longer have anything left to do in the creation because now you have picked it up for them. Do not get caught up in the game of others building your life for you through this mechanism.
