Your Perspective...

When you look at the world, what is the first thing that comes to your attention? What perspective do you take?  Do you zero in on the problems, the heartaches, the fears and the disappointments, or do you notice the beauty, the joys and all the positive possibilities?
The choice is yours as to how you look at life.  If you look at life through a lens of negativity, life will arrange itself to meet your expectations. When you look at life with a more positive perspective, your expectations will surely be met.
Reality is neutral.  So it is not unrealistic to look at the bright side, to remain generally positive, and to expect the best in life. Besides what you get from life depends on how you view it and what you make of it.
There are always some raw forces, circumstances and events that are out of your control. Yet you can completely control the way you perceive, respond, adapt and yes, even prosper under their influence.
The choice is yours as to how the control you exercise over your own perceptions, thoughts and actions will make a difference in your life. Reality is what it is, and your own relationship to that reality is precisely whatever you choose for it to be.
There is goodness, there is beauty, there is love and joy and boundless opportunity when you choose to see it, no matter the circumstance. Choose to look realistically at the world, see the very best, and bring it joyfully to life in each moment.
