People don’t recognize their strength. They doubt their ability to feel pain, joy, and uncertainty. They forget that there is value in all experiences. They miss out on the growth in hardships. People have been tricked into believing they can only experience happiness, excitement, and joy.

The harder I grasp, the less grip I have.

The more I surrender, the greater the liberation.

As I let go, I gain stability.

The less I seek certainty, the safer I feel.

The more I accept, the less I suffer.

The magic of perception is that it is ours. NO one can change it, take it, or determine it. While they may try, and our perception shifts from interactions with the world, our perception is only ever ours.
