NINJA Skills

I have noticed one of the words that impact us but go un-noticed like a NINJA.

That word is PERCEPTION. Basically, it’s how we as people perceive one another. Or view one another in our own minds.

For example, what makes a person a king? Is it Entitlement or Heritage? The ONLY one I know of who has the right to be called a King is Jesus Christ and yes, his is based on Entitlement and Heritage, and the fact that he is the son of God.
For me it boils down to how well that person has made those around him see them as better, wiser, and therefore has more authority then those around him.

Look at how we view Movie Stars, Politicians, and …well……anyone. What makes us revere those we see as role models? Why do we get so wrapped up in THEIR lives, and not handle our own?

WE perceive them and their lives as better. WE give them the authority to make choices for us. WE give them power over us.


The main point I am trying to make is, take a look at your relationships with others and how you perceive others. Does a change need to be made? Are we giving someone power over us who shouldn’t?

I just think we are looking up to or respecting others for the wrong reasons. It’s ok to do it for the right reasons, but are we?

Unfortunately - Perception has become reality in today’s society. Truth and fact has taken a back seat on this turbulent ride.
