How do you view your life?
Do you ever find yourself focusing solely on the negative?
How does that affect your mood and your behavior?
Take a few minutes now, look around you and determine what it is you see. Do you appreciate the things and people around you as they are? In the other hand, is your focus on perhaps what you wish or want them to be?
This quote by Rasheed Ogunlaru is powerful because the moment you are able to change the way you see things you change your life. However, many of us sometimes are not able to see a situation or a person other than the way we perceive it based on our personal filters. If that perspective is dialed in to a negative frame of mind then that is exactly what will be focused on.
Does that resonate with you?
Yet imagine for second changing those filters. To take a step back and see things as they truly are. To allow yourself to ditch all of the judgment, assumptions, and expectation that might perhaps cloud your vision. Would you agree things would appear quite a bit different, no?
How we see and interpret the world around us is based on our upbringing and our life experience up until now. Whether positive or negative, where our focus goes energy will flow.
Take for example the end of a relationship. I’m guessing we’ve all experienced this at one point or another. Did you view it as a waste or your time and energy? Oh perhaps you are now bitter at the other person for breaking your trust or hurting you?
What if instead of viewing it as I just described, consider it a new beginning to the next chapter in your life. Take a moment to appreciate all of the great memories you shared with that person. Also, look at what you are now learning about yourself in this new transition.
Would you agree that seeing the end of a relationship in that light is more empowering than zooming in on all of the perceived bas stuff, right?
Now, I’m not saying you can now totally be rid of emotional pain, especially when it comes to a relationship ending. However, you don’t have to let it keep you stuck and disempower you. By changing how you view something, whatever it may be, you can allow yourself to change how you feel about it.
That is empowering!
Now it’s your turn.
How does this quote inspire you?
Tell me about an experience where your perspective of a specific situation led to undesirable emotions stirring up within you. How would you have felt if you shifted from that perspective to perhaps a more empowering one?
Are you able to shift your perspective now or do you still find yourself getting stuck in looking at things in a disempowering way?
