Perception is a powerful force that shapes our understanding of the world around us. Our perception is the lens through which we view the world, and it can greatly influence how we interpret and react to various situations.
However, perception can often lead to misconceptions, misunderstandings, ignorance, and even stupidity. This happens when we don’t have all the information, or when our perception is clouded by biases, preconceived notions, and unconscious patterns of thought.
To illustrate this, imagine a person walking through a dark forest at night. They hear a rustling in the bushes, and their perception tells them that it’s a dangerous animal. However, in reality, it’s just a harmless squirrel. The person’s perception created a misconception that led them to believe something that wasn’t true.
Similarly, in our daily lives, our perception can create misunderstandings and even lead us to make incorrect judgments. Our biases and preconceived notions can lead us to ignore important information or dismiss ideas that don’t fit within our existing framework.
To update our perception with goodness and truth, we must actively troubleshoot, seek out new information and challenge our existing biases. We must be willing to re-evaluate our attitudes, concepts, and judgments in light of new information and experiences.
Think of it like updating the software on your computer. Just as new updates provide improved functionality and security, updating our perception with goodness and truth can alter our ideas, attitudes, and concepts, allowing us to see things in a new light and make better decisions.
By consciously choosing to update our perception with goodness and truth, we can overcome our automatic biases and gain a clearer understanding of the world around us. It’s like shining a light in the dark forest, revealing what was hidden and allowing us to see the truth.

In life, we are often faced with situations that require us to make judgments, form opinions, and take action. But how do we ensure that we are making the right decisions?
It all starts with having the right attitude, approach, and perspective. We must consider all the relevant factors, including the circumstances, background, ambience, situation, text, condition, connection, relation, and frame of reference. It’s important to have a balanced, reasonable, and wise outlook, based on accurate information and understanding. This is the Mind of a Troubleshooter.
Imagine you’re driving a car in the dark, and you only have your headlights to guide you. You can only see a short distance ahead of you, but it’s enough to keep you on the road. Your headlights provide a clear and adequate view of what’s in front of you, allowing you to navigate safely and reach your destination.
Similarly, in life, we must have the right vantage point, an appropriate and ethical perspective that helps us see things in the right context. We must take the time to gather all the necessary information, assess the situation, and make an informed decision. Just like adjusting the angle of your headlights, we must adjust our approach and attitude to match the circumstances we face.
When we have a healthy and fair mindset, we can see things clearly, make the right choices, and maintain a positive attitude. We must put things in the right light, based on an adequate and accurate understanding of the situation. Only then can we act with decency, justice, and suitability.
In conclusion, let us remember that the way we see things determines how we act and react. So, let’s strive to maintain a wise and balanced perspective, based on accurate information and understanding. Let’s approach situations with an appropriate attitude and ethical mindset, putting things in the right light, and making informed decisions. Remember, it’s not just what we see, but how we see it that matters. Keep Troubleshooting!
