Perception: The Craziest Year Of My Life

Perception The only thing that gets people through their day is communication. Everyone uses it in one way or another. Human beings are very complex, but at the same time, quite simple. The past year of my life has been the craziest year of my life, and I loved it. I used to have ineffective communicating and listening skills, but now I feel so much better. The past 10 months I have really began to find out who I am as a person and it feels great. I’ve come to realize that communicating with others is enjoyable and exciting now. Chapter 4 is all about perception. I feel as if most people get the wrong idea of me and perceive me differently than who I really am. I am in the midst of achieving my biggest dreams since I was a little kid, it feels …show more content…
I have good intentions and I intend to follow them accordingly. I want to be loved by people and have a positive impact on people. The only way to get love is to show love. I do my best not to talk behind peoples back and not to express hate towards anyone or anything. Whenever I’m with people I try to spread love by acting accordingly to the situation. Everyone clings to first impressions, it’s completely natural. I have noticed that once other players started to see me level up on the field, they all started treating me completely different versus the first month or so I knew them. Also, there is a kid on my team I was never to fond of, but damn that dude works hard so I have to respect that. He’s actually I really nice kid and I only wish the best for him. I never seem to go over board with it though, and I have received very positive feedback from many people. The more adults I talk to, the more I try to explain my intentions with them when they ask. I speak confidently and fluidly about topics that regard myself. I like to keep things light and not try to get too serious because the more serious I take things, the less fun I have. Yes, I am serious about baseball, but I don’t take it too far, I still love what I do. I am starting to realize how important communication is in everyone’s lives. I feel that if you are a poor communicator, people will notice and it could hurt you in the long run. I want people to know that I have …show more content…
I really enjoy reading rather than spending free time not using my brain. Our brains are like a muscle, and the more you use it, the more efficient it comes. The book is called “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” and it is an easy, fun, and interesting read. I have already started applying some of the laws to my life and I quickly saw results. I only plan to keep the momentum moving forwards. I feel like I am a pretty intellectual person. The other day before I landed in Fort Lauderdale, I was looking out the window and could see Miami 35 miles or so down south, and this was the first time in my life where I realized that we are so small compared to the universe. We are made up of billions of cells and what is a cell’s job? To help each other. What if we are bigger forms of cells all here on Earth to help each other thrive and prosper with one another? There are so many distractions in the world we live in today and some people get too caught up in things that don’t better themselves as a person and they lose track of who they really are. I hear so many adults everywhere talk about how they wish they could be young again to go after there dreams rather than letting fear consume them. I let fear control my behavior, but in a good way. I fear being mediocre and act accordingly so I can be great. I fear not being loved and accepted, so I am always trying to spread love and positivity. I have a deep feeling in me that this struggle is
