We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.

Attending church does not necessarily mean living the principles taught in those meeting. You can be active in a church but inactive in its gospel.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.

It's just that you're about to do something out of the ordinary. And after you do something like that, the everyday look of things might seem to change a little. Things may look different to you than they did before. But don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality.
