How do you perceive things? What perspective do you have on a particular situation? What these questions are pointing to is that our attitudes are like our mind's paint brush, because they can COLOR any situation. Well, in this paper it will be pointed out that our perceptions may be more important to us than reality. In fact, our perceptions (and all that they connote) might just be our reality, and that these perceptions can even take us in different directions and down different paths, be they positive or negative.
