You weren’t born thinking life sucks

You weren’t born thinking life sucks.

You weren’t born with a negative attitude and outlook.

You weren’t born feeling resigned to life as it is.

It might seem like the majority of our human default setting is perpetual dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction with what-is, filled with an undertone that something is fundamentally wrong – with us, with others, and with the conditions of the world.

While it’s “normal” because so many people approach life this way – it’s not natural.  It’s not your true nature. 

This dissatisfaction lens through which we view the world limits us. It produces beliefs and subsequent “evidence” comparable to our beliefs – thereby affirming our beliefs and perpetuating our conditions as they are.  

The world in which you live is a by-product of your perspective about it.  How it appears for you, and how people show up for you, is not unchangeable.  It’s not an absolute “truth”.  

What IS an absolute truth is that the world, how you relate to it, and how it relates to you, is completely about your perspective about it. Your perspective equals your frequency and your frequency is what is always being matched.

Your perspectives, beliefs, mood and attitude are shaped from the time you’re born.  Life forms and informs you. You decide, prefer, draw conclusions, and assign meanings to your experiences.  There’s nothing wrong with that.  In fact, that’s what you’re here to do – to create your life and to create yourself along the way. 

When you start taking ownership of your perspectives you begin to see that life is not making mistakes.  When you decide to choose more consciously what and how you want to feel, you’ll also begin to see that your current perspectives, while familiar, “normal” and comfortable to you – might no longer fit in the world of your desire to feel good.  

With practice, you can soften the edges around that negative outlook and open the blinds to reveal optimism. 

You can soften your resignation to life and let in the light of possibility.

It’s all in how you perceive it.  Just like when you change the lens of your camera, the view changes.

Change your perspectives to ones that *feel* better, and your world will adapt to reflect that change. 

Freedom is found not in trying to be “right” about the circumstances, but instead in changing your view of your world.  Nothing “holds” you to a perspective other than your choice about it – and therein, lies your freedom.
