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.

Stronger

 

STRONGER

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche may have been talking about near death experiences, but I suspect more likely, the every day “little” things that we fret and stress over. As we worry and whip ourselves into a frenzy leading up to an event, or worrying about what will happen, the everyday struggles. We will get through them, be the better for having gone through it and come out the other side stronger. Better for it. A life without struggle is not worth living. Then again, Nietzsche may have been talking about those narrow escape near death experiences where we escape the grips of death and ask ourselves, “Why me?” “Why did I survive?” “What am I meant to do in the future now that I survived this?”  This makes us stronger mentally because we now realize how precious every second of life is and that life can be over in an instant. After these “near death” experiences the flowers seem a little more colorful, the sun a little brighter, gray skies not so dark, our loved one’s faces a little more beautiful. The annoying stuff that used to be a big deal suddenly, not so annoying. We have more resilience. More patience. More perseverance. More willpower. More grit. A new point of view. We take on a new perspective, looking at our world through a different lens. A new sense of appreciation for what is and what we have.

ATTITUDE

                                                        

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

            Winston Churchill

“The problem is not the problem. The problem

is your attitude about the problem.”

            Pirates of the Caribbean

“You can’t always have a good day. But you can

always face a bad day with a good attitude.”

            Unknown

It is what you say it is. Attitude. It is what you make of it. It is all how

you choose to see it. You can choose to be sad. You can choose to

be frustrated. You can choose to be angry. You can choose to accept

what happens. You can choose to see the good. You may have to

look a little harder sometimes but look for it because it is there. You

decide. You choose. Your actions, how you choose to see the world, it

is all up to you. Is there good or bad? Depends on how we choose to

see things. We can choose to see there is no good or bad, only truth.

Only what is and what will be. You oversee your emotions. You may

have impulses and initial reactions, but then pause, stop, think, look,

listen. Find the “positive.” Find the inspiration. Roll with it. What you

 think is a hurdle, and it usually does turn out this way, may be a huge

springboard rather than an obstacle. We always have a choice. We

get to choose how we “feel.” Whatever the “problem” is, we own it. It

is ours to deal with whether we created it or someone else did. We

can see it as an opportunity to gain experience, work, or just clean it

up and check it off the list. Sulking, getting angry, blaming others is

not going to help. It is our problem to solve, so solve it and do it with

gratitude and a positive mindset. It will pass. It will resolve. You will

be better for it and you will learn something along the way. Accept

and be grateful for whatever happens and comes our way. Willingly

and gratefully accept what is outside our control. Let the chips fall

where they may.

“The two things in your life you are in total

control of are your attitude and your effort.”

        Billy Cox

NORMAL

 

NORMAL

“Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for

work and driving through traffic in a car that you are

still paying for in order to get to the job you need to

pay for the clothes and the car and the house that you

leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.”

                                                                Ellen Goodman

I am not defined by what you think I am. I will not fall into your predetermined

plan. March to the beat of your own drum. Think freely. Avoid

becoming a uniform part in a uniform system where you are replaceable

by the person standing next to you. Just because everyone else

does it that way or someone else tells you that is the way to do it

does not mean that is the way for you. Maybe it is, maybe it is not.

Be yourself. Do it because you want to do it. Do it because it interests

you. Do it because it lights your spark. Think for yourself. There is no

need to copy other people just because. Be original. You are unique.

Be unique. Learn from others, especially from the mistakes of others,

but do for yourself. Help others. Live life on your own terms and avoid

letting other people dictate how you live your life.

Sometimes we need to forget the box life is trying to put us in.

Forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your “predetermined”

place. Think your best thoughts. Speak your best words. Work

your best work. Be the best version of yourself. Do your best deeds.

Look to your own conscience for what you know is right or wrong. We

all too often accept without hesitation or questioning what to think,

believe or accept because this was imprinted on us by others. This

can be both good and bad. Not good if we simply choose to accept

what others frame for us. Dare to think for yourself. Create your own

thoughts. Create your own life. You decide. You choose. You be. You

are. You paint your own life. You create life. What story are you going to

create? This is your masterpiece. The story you paint for yourself has

ripple effects on others. The best way to help yourself? Help others.

Make yourself better by helping make our world a better place, one

step at a time, one action at a time, one person at a time. There is

no place for hate, vitriol, or animosity. It just steals energy and focus,

and we only have so much energy and focus to go around. So, use

that energy wisely, work hard, sleep well to gain, and preserve more

energy and put that energy to good use for you and the world.
