Life through your own lens
I was recently in a conversation with someone about how we see life and experience the events that transpire. We both agreed that the experience is the result of our perspective. We look at life through the lens of “filters and beliefs” that color everything. We begin to respond to people, challenges and environments based on how we believe the world to be.
I am currently co-hosting a radio show “Connections Radio: Awakening the Oneness Within Us All” with Dr. Jordon Paul on Spirit Media Network launching July 1. We recently interviewed Lindsay Wagner and she shared a story about Dr. William Hornaday, a renowned Religious Science leader, being robbed at gunpoint by a young man in a parking lot.
Many of us would have responded with fear or anger. Dr. Hornaday, however, asked the youth what made him do such a thing. The youth shared his current life challenges, and Dr. Hornaday gave him money and wrote a check for two months rent. Now, I am not saying we should give all of our money to robbers, but it is interesting that an act of compassion can change an overwhelming event into a transformative moment.
Do away with judgment
I have been looking at my own way of responding to life. When I see people as “doing the best they can” in any situation, I cease to be the judge and jury. I radiate love and receive it in return. When I am looking through a filter of separation, I receive disconnected responses and interactions from others.
I don’t know where you are in your life, but I do know that what you put out into the world comes back. Please look at your current life situation and step back. Step back and explore your thinking patterns and behaviors. If they do not reflect the kind of life that you want to live, take some time to contemplate and set intentions on how you want to perceive the world. Things will not change overnight, but they will change.
Personally, I choose to “be the change” I want in the world. I choose to see the light in the eyes of all. I choose to put into the world what I want to get out. What about you?
Take a moment to remember this:
Today, I open my heart and activate compassion. I look for love, peace and harmony and it fills my life experience. Life is good and I choose to live it fully!
