Pretend you are at a party and you see a handsome man. He is just the sort of man you like, so you want to go over. But at that precise moment he turns and looks at you with a clear "I'm not at all interested" look.

You stop dead in your tracks, and make a beeline for the buffet instead. After that you feel uncomfortable. It's the white outfit, which is way too girlish and naive. Perhaps you should have worn the V-cut black dress. Maybe yesterdays french-fries are showing all over your hips in this monstrous filmy thing. At the party, you don't mingle much. You wait for the long, boring evening to end. Whereupon you trudge home, alone, to your empty apartment.

Now suppose you are on the other side and you are the male. Here's what may be happening for you. You have just taken a sip of your cocktail, and it is sour as a green lemon. You purse your lips to try to keep from spitting it out. You are noticing nothing but the bad taste in your mouth- and you are thinking of how to get rid of it without drawing attention.

His look of disdain was actually a reaction to his drink. He never even saw you until later, when he meandered over to the buffet and saw this vision in white. She was lovely, but she had an aloof look on her face. It was an above-it-all look. Still she was very appealing, in an odd sort of way. But he decided he was not up for the certain rejection, and walked away.

I bet there have been times that you have been like this in your life. You have been 100% sure you knew the very thoughts in someone else's head. And you have been 100% sure this was reality. And, like this story, I'm sure you missed out on something. Perhaps it was the soulmate of your dreams that you never even met.

And I would venture to say that this is how most of us do life. We go on our merry way, doing and not doing, based on what we think. And what we think is hugely colored by our judgments and assessment, beliefs and past. But we don't think it is colored. We think we are seeing the world how it really is.

Imagine all of the missed opportunities in your life that you didn't even know about.

In this and future articles we will look at the difference between perception and reality. We will look to see how setting aside limiting beliefs and assumptions can give us miracles in our lives- miracles in romance, career, finances, life-fulfillment, and every other are of life. So stick around, and enjoy the ride.
