Perceptions. So simple yet they possess the power to create whole realms of realities. I believe every human is born with a greatness already existing within them. Therefore, life is not about becoming great, but rather allowing that greatness to manifest. This is where perceptions come into play. I believe, the perceptions of the world, our interactions and those around us shape the way we move, interact and exist within the world and different spaces. Thus, perceptions have the power to limit or amplify our ability to manifest our greatness. You may have a great idea worth sharing on a TED stage, and shy away from ever applying because you do not perceive your thoughts to be worthy of an audience. To take this even further, our perceptions also affect the way others move in, interact with and exist within the world and different spaces. This is what I believe. We too, in some ways great and small, have the power to limit or amplify the ability of another human to manifest their greatness. For example, the job interviewer who's grown up believing women should not be CEOs, will overlook female applicants, consciously and/or subconsciously. They perceive women to be a certain way, thus affect those female applicants' ability to fill those spaces.

I have not shown people here my drawings. This question makes me want to go out and find out if there are things I myself am not aware that I am good at... That was a weird sentence to type. But yes, I draw.
