Lots of people live in fear. In my own fear, I am learning that I make both conscious and subconscious choices that are ultimately detrimental. It’s hard to look at these demons. I get it. It’s scary. I’ve done it. I still do it.

With this fear, we create this perspective of the world around us. It is how we see, feel, taste, smell, and hear our events of our lives. Reality is jaded by our history. Our Personal Perspective can often be identified by looking at the judgments we have of ourselves and of others.

How do you see the world? What is your tint?

Why does it matter? Well if your life is not what you’d hope, once you identify your Personal Perspective you can change and see your world. You may want to be happier, more at peace or even more abundant.

The wonderful thing about our Personal Perspective is that we can change it to suit our needs. We could elevate our quality of life by simply changing our judgments and opinions.

What’s in a Judgment?

Events happen. Things will occur in your life. Things will change. Things will affect. There are rocks and mountains. We will have emotions and pain. We have strengths and weaknesses.

It will exist. It is what It is.

But we as humans, with our Personal Perspective, invent judgments. We have judgments on these things. We attached our Personal Perspective to label them into ours and others minds.

We form an opinion. We gather our limited evidence and judge the events in our life.

People are beautiful. You are not. I am not? I’m not.
This was fun. This was the most boring thing ever.
Show me Love. No that’s not Love. Love should be like…
I see pain. I have witnessed Beauty.

Who am I to judge?

In my life, I’ve noticed that my judgments create a negative skewed vision of the world. Ugliness was everywhere. This was a result of the ugliness I had within. I don’t remember who, when or how. But I was presented with this question…

Who am I to judge?

Truth of the matter, I don’t know it all. I barely know anything. I don’t even know what is good for me or not. There are people who tell us these things. Society, religion, our friends and family, and education create these foundations of human wisdom. But we are learning much of that may not be so wise after all.

I am the one that decides if this is beautiful or not. Is it Opportunity? Or an Obstacle?
Blessing or a Curse?

I don’t have all the information. I don’t know if this tragedy will create heavenly opportunities. What is right? What is wrong?

And as I began to see my own beauty, I began to see the beauty in others. I can look at the mundane pile of dirt and become intrigued by the natural patterns of shapes and colors.  I made a choice to no longer live the world with the fear and despair.

I still know that it exists. Human fear is manifested in the most horrendous ways. I allow myself to witness the horrors of the world. But I choose to not wallow nor batter my spirit with such darkness.

I choose my Personal Perspective to see beauty, light, and love. For me in my life, it’s much more pleasant. I am inspired. I evolve. It works for me.

What will work for you?

Look at You’re Darn Self! The Real Work…

This takes time. Be aware. Have mentors, guides, and therapists help you uncover your underlying issues. An outside unbiased viewpoint may serve in helping you discover your Personal Perspective. We often have too many self judgments that it is difficult to see ourselves from a clear, clean viewpoint. But it is possible.

Practice mindfulness. In moments of your day, allow yourself to take a step back and look at your own self through unfiltered perspectives. This is especially important to do if you feel emotions such as love, anger, annoyance, sadness, or fear. Take these moments to help you understand your Personal Perspective and how it affects your every second.

Know why you do what you do. Understand why you say what you say, and feel what you feel.

You have formed an opinion to an event in your life. This opinion, this judgment creates your experience. So how are you experiencing the world?

Is your life one of happiness and peace? Beauty and grandeur? Or perhaps malcontent and despair? Cries and pain?

I know there has been and will be loss. Do not misconstrue this as avoidance of emotions. I don’t want you push down your feelings of sadness to pretend to be happy. This is about balance.

Feel your natural emotions. But do not let them consume you. Things will happen and if they are painful, allow yourself to feel. Process these feelings. Understand them. See the simple truth. Mourn and then celebrate.

Those of us with happy, loving lives have a much easier time changing our Personal Perspective. This philosophy is easy to adapt to if you have not lived a life of terror, pain, abuse, and fear. But if you have, do not fear. It is also easily possible.

How?

Look at your demons. Understand your past and learn to know that it can also no longer be your present, nor future. The damage that has been done, can be undone. No you cannot amend a hopeless relationship nor bring back loved ones, but you can see the events for what they are…

And create a new opinion and perspective. What has hurt you can now serve you. If all these years you have lived in pain and misery, perhaps now you can use this to fuel a new story of beauty and love. Maybe you can take this obstacle and make it an opportunity. Take your experiences and save thousands from the same fate.

Instead of a lackluster life, you can make your life a daily adventure.

It’s all up to you.
