Much of our existences are a result of our opinions, reactions, and our thoughts. They shape how we see the world. These things influence how we experience anything that happens. Two people can be in the exact same situation but experience it differently. How we experience things is a free and open experience. We get to choose how we experience the world. I am grateful we get to choose the lens through which we view life.
The more we can choose this lens, the more peaceful and positive we can be. How we view the world doesn’t change the world, but it can change our experience. It does no good to choose a negative lens, it does not change the facts. If I am going to experience a thing, I want to experience it as positively as possible. I am grateful I get this choice, we all get this choice.
