Be Careful What You See!

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Wayne Dyer

What happens when you hold a camera, frame a shot, and capture an image? You visually record what you see through that lense. Our minds work much the same way--we have an infinite selection of possible images, yet we choose to look at certain things. Like an inner photographer, we gather life experiences--and circumstances--simply by "seeing" and recording images.

So are you happy or sad or mad or loving? Well, it depends on what you are seeing. This is how you determine the quality of your life. I wonder what your life would be like if you chose to "see" the good, the valuable, the meaningful, the beauty, the divine--of course, if you did, you'd lose out on all those wonderful things like conflict, differences, stress, pain, hopelessness, scarcity, and troubles! Wouldn't that be a shame! Imagine--choosing to see the good in people, in your job, in yourself--could you handle it?

Try this: Look for every speck of beauty you can find for a solid week. Every day look for beauty in the evening news, your boss, your image in the mirror, your vehicle, the people in the cars on your way to and from work--start with small things and watch the beauty grow. Don't stop until you have 50 specks of beauty each day. Now don't do more than 50 and for God's sake don't do this for more than a week--we wouldn't want your reality to change--would we? After all, if you began to see beauty in and around you all the time, you might start feeling weird--you know, like loving, compassionate, healthy, forgiving, accepting and all that crap! So just do it for a week and record your 50 each day. Then you can go back to seeing all the troubles and be "right" about your judgments and criticisms--cause we all know how important those things are--don't we?!

Love and blessings this week!
