Perception controls behaviour.

When you have control over how you perceive the world around you, you also control how you behave. Our perception of situations, events, and people influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We may react defensively or aggressively if we perceive a situation as threatening. However, if we choose to view the same situation as an opportunity for growth or as a challenge to overcome, our behavior will reflect that positive perception. By consciously directing our perception towards more positive and constructive perspectives, we are more likely to engage in behavior that is beneficial to ourselves and those around us. Ultimately, the key to controlling our behavior lies in controlling our perception.
