When the macrocosm meets the microcosm – my thoughts on Uluru

Many of you will know of the quote “your thoughts create your reality“, and so the way that you perceive your environment and world is directly shaped by your own thought patterns and beliefs. For example, you know when you’re walking down the street or you’re in your office, and as you are walking of sitting there, you notice someone looking directly at you. People who lack confidence in themselves may immediately think that there was something wrong with them which caused that person to stare at them – is there something on my face or are they judging what I’m wearing? what the heck are you doing staring at me?. Those who hare more confident in themselves may react in a way to be flattered by the seeming “attention” and just not care about the “look” because to them, it means nothing.
