Our Perspective

"Your life is a mirror peopled with the forms of your own acceptance." Ernest Holmes

It seems to me that the above quote is true.  If we expect bad things to happen, they will.  If we expect good things to happen, they will.  That does not mean that unfortunate things do not happen, but - if we focus on noticing the good around us, more of that will be evident to us.  I gave a talk to a religious group recently about the unconscious and its implications, using as an example The Wizard of Oz.  Fun.  If it is true that our actions are motivated by what is unconscious, then it serves us to get acquainted with the unconscious.  Whether one chooses that journey or not, it is important to notice what we notice.  Do we notice aches and pains, or good health?  Do we notice the unkindness of other people, or the kindness?  Whatever we focus our attention upon will multiply.  We will still have to deal with the occasional unfortunate event -- it seems that is a part of being human, but largely our lives will be ones in which we see the good, the joy, the health, the kindness of others.
