We feel broken. We see ourselves and define ourselves according to a small broken piece that truly does not tell who we are. Why do human beings usually focus on what is not "right" rather than the 99% that is positive, awe-inspiring, miraculous? I believe that removing our gray cloudy spectacles may be one of our biggest challenges in this lifetime. How do we change focus? It's really not all that difficult whether it is about you seeing YOU differently or viewing others and the world outside with a different perception. Like so much of what we have already talked about, it is a matter of patterns and habits. Being able to view the positive just takes a little reconstructing of old behaviors and practice. When you look into the mirror, give it an extra minute and see your compassion, creativity, your love. Look beyond that initial impression and SEE your SELF. Take a few seconds longer and visualize what is beyond the surface and then state it - "I am intelligent," "I am a fantastic cook and a great listener," "I can repair just about anything and make it run like new," "I am generous," "I am beautiful in so many ways," "I always SEE a way to make things happen," "I'm a good neighbor." See yourself as the fabulous human being that you are and can be. If there is a chink in the armor, we can reprogram that aspect of your behavior, but don't lose sight of just how incredible you truly are. Look around the "flaw" and SEE your truth. |
