You Are What You Believe
Your eyes do not create, they obey. They are projectors that play the stories your mind has written, messengers delivering pictures you have already painted. You win or lose long before they open. Your outcome is decided long before they see a thing. Your outlook is not a reflection of the world around you, It's a reflection of a world within you. And I wonder how we can be so lucky as to have the opportunity to literally create our own reality. Yet, we positioned ourselves so that we are disadvantaged. We act as though the wake of the boat is more powerful than the wheel that steers it.
We remind ourselves of the obstacles instead of reassuring ourselves that we possess the ability to get around anything and everything that stops us. If we can define our own rules, why penalize our progress? If we can create our own landscapes, why insert storms? If we are capable of feats beyond our wildest dreams, why do we instruct our eyes to see stop signs? Your eyes long to see the world as it was meant to be seen. With it's colors, it's fullness, it's beauty, it's perfection. Why not give them permission?
There is no use for the negative, the downside brings you nothing. There is no value to be obtained or acquired from what doesn't push you. The solution is simple, if it doesn't make you stronger, let your eyes see beyond it. Refocus, reexamine because I promise you, the answers you need are in the same frame as the things that hold you back. The problems they are the solutions, the opportunities they are the risk. Life is that portrait but it is entirely open to interpretation.
See the same people see beauty that find magnificence. They will always see it. They will always find it in the down times, the winter periods of life. They'll feel it during the days when we look up and wonder, how in the hell these dots connect. They will run towards the chaos, find answers while others see what's not there. Eyes are the tunnel in which all that data is transferred but understand this, it doesn't begin externally and flow into your brain. No reality as you know it. It starts within and is projected out pouring into every step you take, every handshake.
Every time you look up and smile, you are painting the world colors that correspond to your story. Your paint by number and when you can only see the things you don't want to see, when negativity forced you and attempts to hold you in place. Realize that you are letting the wrong info in subscribing to what doesn't serve you, so simply change the channel, step back and look again one more time because you are the author of your own story, so see it as you want to and live it on your own terms.
