If our reality is made or shaped by a large percentage of how we think or perceive it, then wouldn't we have the power to shape our reality?

Surely we all think that what we sense is truth. What we see is there, what we feel is there, but then proceeding into the metaphysical. I am one to get lost there. What I think may be totally not what is truth. So in that sense, I can start to shape what I want. Nobody else can do so for me. They can tell me what they think, but that is just their reality.

She wasn't the most beautiful girl in the room. She wasn't by any means one who stood out intellectually, or in any other sense. She was, as perceived by me, plane. But if I were to talk to her. If I were to take the time to see who she was, then my reality would change and she possibly could be seen as so much more.

I wonder if people think that about me.

But then I saw a guy in the library. He also wasn't very attractive, or seemed to scream special in anyway... but then he did. He had an air of confidence around him that immediately made me wonder who he was and I almost wanted to go figure out when he knew and I didn't that could make him so confident.

If my reality consists of me knowing that I am just fine, and I like me, then would others see that? I think so. Confidence is a quality that I will work towards.
