Does Your Life POP OUT AT YOU in this Text, or is Your #Perception "Motivated"? @Microsoft @Bing

A friend shares this text-graphic on Facebook;
... and I wonder, 'Is there any "official psychology-work" on this meme?' (and yes, it's a meme ... a search for "the first words you see are your current reality" brings up 175-MILLION results).

'Changing the search around a little' brings up "Motivated Perception."

Hmm, 'Perception' ... that word (below-hyperlinked to a discussion of the words that others find in the graphic) is built on something deeper—which will help you remember 'how to use it right."

The word "Perception" #Perceive #Perceptive #Perceiving #Perceptual #Perceived #Perceives #Perceptible #Perceivable# is built on ancient words that mean "Thoroughly (Per) + to Take, Grasp."

I'm not sure which words pop out at me first (the words I told my friend were ... the first three I'll list below; but I'm not sure if 'which area of the graphic I look at first' might not also say something ...

(In the Western world, 'things begin on the left margin at the top & proceed across to the right margin, dropping a level and starting at the left & going to the right, and so-on until they stop on the right margin at the bottom'; so one might suppose that 'seeing one's words near the top-left' might mean one is "looking for work to do," 'seeing them at the bottom-left' might mean one's mind is "more-administrative, trying to see a complete project," and 'starting somewhere in between' indicates "the amount of work you expect to have to do" (less-&-less as the start ranges from top-left to bottom-right)).

Listing ALL the words I see (starting with my 'first three'):
Strength, Family, Gratitude, MS, Do, Doe, Wo, Pry, Jo, OG, Mie, Op, PJ, Lessons (Less, Son, Sons), Jap, AP, Creation (At, On), MX, Lam, Fa, Love, Flam, Wilfe, Jak, Ski, Ax, Si, Connection, Man, Sag,, Wad, FX, Money, Limly, , Power, PU, Alignment, Shah, por, Change, OOM, Health (Heal), Selfcare, Wade (Ade), By, Purpose (Pose), Miracles, Breakthrough (Break, Through), Mam, Sank, LaLa, Lad ...

Not a very balanced list—not many 'negative words' (like "Hate" or "Poverty" or "Death" or "Illness") ... if you can find any, go ahead and comment below!
