I know this is a difficult concept to realize for many people, but I want to share with you what I have learned so far in life, that has made it a bed of roses every day.

We give meaning to every single thing in our lives. We decide how we are going to react.

So say there is a break up, an accident, an illness, etc. At all these moments, what we get out of them is the perceptions WE choose to have about them.

You can take them at surface value and apply what reactions society has taught you to apply to them, i.e. “bad”, “negative”, “hard”, “painful”….

Or you could choose to see them in a new light by looking at the bigger picture, by choosing another perspective…

Bottom line we always have a choice, and when our perceptions change, it is because we chose to change them.

@ ROBIN – Oh Robin, why am I not surprised we are on the same page, same thought wave, same vibration :)

Your words here are a wonderfully valuable addition and so I thank you so much for stopping by and am always humbled by your compliments… thank you my dear friend!

Our love for nature and this world is limitless!

I have a love/fear relationship with spiders. They scare me, but I’m fascinated by their ability to build webs…and when their webs get broken, go right out and do the repair. They are very persistent.

You’re so right about taking another look and seeing the beauty in something that’s not always seen as pleasant. Thanks:~)
