1. Sphere of Reality Sphere of Reality We each have our own reality based on the unique world that each of us lives in. One can only comprehend life to the extent of what one can see, hear, and touch. This leads to a very personal collection of experiences that form one's beliefs, perceptions, and memories and shapes how one views the world around oneself - a sphere of reality. This sphere encompasses everything that is within one's world and acts as a mirror, reflecting back one's own image. Many of us don't realize that what we see around us is indistinguishable from that personal reflection - and we cannot separate ourselves from our unconscious biases. We sometimes mistakenly assume that the way we view the world is the way the people around us also view the world. But even simple common experiences or objects can be viewed by two individuals very differently because of the unique sphere of reality that each exists in. We are born focused on ourselves and concerned only about our best interest. As an infant we cry when we want something or are unhappy. The world seems to revolve around us when we are young. This is a natural state of being. But as people grow older they can progress out of this natural state to reach a higher level - looking past their own lives to show a truly unselfish consideration and good will for others. Insecurities about yourself shouldn't exist. Having an insecurity assumes that everyone views you the same way. But each individual will have a different interpretation of you based on his/her own unique past experiences. Your perceived image is in the constant state of flux if you view yourself though others eyes. YOU are the ONLY valid judge of yourself because you are the only consistent viewer of yourself. So be a kind judge of yourself and you will no longer have insecurities. Do you add value/benefit to others worlds? If so, then they will continue try to incorporate you into their lives. These are some values/benefits that people may seek: common beliefs/values, common goals, common experiences, common hobbies, sense of humor, admirable qualities, intelligence/wisdom, valued advice, emotional support, attraction(physical/mental), and companionship. You have a conscious choice on how to view your world. It all depends on what aspects of any situation you focus on. The way you interpret life around you determines your world view and your happiness.
