That is correct too.
The key point however is what you've missed. The more a person can appreciate that multiple perspectives on reality are possible, the more he will realise that what he perceives as reality is merely his perception, and what he thinks of as reality, is merely his thought.
The more he realises that what he perceives as reality is merely his perception, and that what he thinks of as reality is merely his thought, the more he will be interested in exploring how he may adjust his perceptions and his thoughts.
The more he is interested in those explorations, the more he will become able to make those adjustments. Therefore the more he is able to influence and direct and create his reality in ways that are pleasing to himself.
