Point of View

                                 POINT OF VIEW

“I’m very confident in my point of view. ‘Cause I think that

that’s all you can really have. I’m never really going to

know what anybody else is going through, so it’s just kind

of your job to be expressive with your point of view.”

                                        Donald Glover

It is all a matter of how we look at things. Point of View (POV).

Perception. Choices. Frame of mind. We choose. We get to decide

how we will view things. The glass is half empty or half full. Rose

colored glasses. It could be worse; it could be better. We decide. Fate.

Things happen for a reason. Someone, something put us here for a

reason. We may not be able to control external things, but we do and

can control our own mind, our own choices, our own decisions. That

is if we do not let other people take what is ours, our choice, our mind

away from us. We can control our internal things, how we feel, how

we think, how we choose to act, but beyond that, we cannot always

control what is happening around us. We can endeavor to influence

external forces that we cannot totally control. We can try to influence

or push in the right direction, how we want things to go, rather than

turning the other way or turning a blind eye. We can try to make a

difference. We should think less about what we want and start thinking

about what other people want. We see what we want to see. We get a

thought in our head, and it can be like a weed that grows and grows,

or beautiful flowers that grow and grow. We see what we tell ourselves

we see. We believe what we tell ourselves we should believe. We see

what we choose to see. Everything, I mean everything that happens

to us, is an opportunity to see the beauty and the challenge of it. We

see opportunity, challenge, joy, beauty. Imagine what we choose to

imagine. Everything that happens makes us better. If it is too easy it

makes us weaker. We were made for strength, adversity, adaptability,

struggle, to work hard and be productive. Do the work. If it can be

thought of it can be done and we can open our eyes to the beauty

and joy of the process. We always have control of how we see things.

We set our point of view and perception. We control our minds. The

world is constantly trying to take control over our minds. What other

people think. Our phones. Social media. What we read. Who and

what we choose to give our attention to is our choice. No one can take

that from us. How we choose to spend our time is our choice. What

I choose to do is my choice. How I feel is my choice. How I react is

my choice. We cannot always control what happens to or around us,

but we can control how we respond, react or how we feel about it.

We can choose to see positive. We can choose happiness. We can

choose doom and gloom. We can choose to push forward and continue

through adversity. We can choose anger, but really what good does

that do us in the end? We can choose to see the glass as half full or

half empty. We can choose to help people. We can choose when we

say yes and when we say no. It is our lens how we choose to see the

world around us. It is our point of view. It is our mind that is always

within our control.
