060519: All About Perspective
The older I get, the more I realize that the “power” is really the perspective one chooses to view the world (maybe a “choice” is not really there of us to make, but that is another philosophical debate for another post). For example, if you buy a new car, all of a sudden, you see your car “everywhere”, when before that, you may not have noticed it as much.
Now image if you approach everyday life looking for problems, racism, sexism, etc. guess what is going to happen, you are going to find them! Now I am not suggesting that those things are nonexistent, what I am suggesting is that how much we notice those things is based on perspective.
If the above is true, is it better for us to focus on noticing the things that bring us joy and/or gets us closer to our goals in life? I mean, as far as we know, we only have one life. What is the life worth living? Maybe the better question is, what is the best life worth pursing because unless we end our own life, we are going to have to live A life until well...its over.
