What I feel about myself isn't necessarily how you would feel about me. Who I truly am is a completely different question. I was astonished when an associate remarked that I have an attitude. An attitude, me? Upon further introspection, I realized it might be true. Attitude is open to various interpretations, which lead to perceptions. My sense of independence, liberation, and freedom is an expression of my self-belief. If this is perceived as attitude, then it's merely a perception. Ultimately, you are the game changer. You make decisions and are responsible for them. The world will perceive you in its own unique ways. The bottom line is who you are and what you aspire to be. If you aim to be good in life and feel you're not there yet, it's all about your self-perception, which manifests as your attitude in the real world. Drawing from Neo's experience in The Matrix, if you can decipher the codes, you can reach a level where your aspirations and reality merge. You will set the rules of the game. Your attitude will mirror this. You will become the Neo - the game changer... and others' perceptions can be disregarded.
For nearly a decade, I resided in what one might call a Utopian realm, if such a place truly exists... where people cherished virtue, where perfection was the norm, where speaking the truth was a sign of strength, where candor was celebrated, where honesty earned rewards, where humility was honored, where kindness was expected, where humanity was the only faith, where integrity was esteemed, where ethics ran deep in our veins, where life was about generosity, where friendship meant sharing, where love was abundant and free, where every citizen was kin, where words like war, enemy, and hatred were absent from our vocabulary... This is where I lived for nine years... until I awoke to a world that taught me survival of the fittest... and so, I emerged from my slumber.
