Taped Glasses.

My "bigger bro" (actually, he's my boss - lol), once shared with me a very interesting thought.
He mentioned to me that a lot about life depends on how we see it. But what matters really are the lenses we use. Just like our glasses, the wrong set of lenses leads us to the wrong perspectives. It's not what we see that is wrong. It's what we're looking through.
Over the past few weeks I've been having a plentiful amount of decent conversations with people. And I've discovered that many people assume the end object, which is often the WHAT we see, that is the object in error. Yet many times, we fail to notice that we're using the wrong set of lenses and end up barraging the object.
So, what's the real issue at hand then you might ask?
How to get the right perspective.
It's important we learn to obtain the right perspectives when it comes to living out life. Not because it sounds cliche or anything, but because it really does simply matter. You see, people become exasperated easily when they're not looking at things in life the right way. They see common comments as personal and private attacks, misunderstand others and so on and so forth.
When we adapt the right perspectives, it changes the "outlook" of everything we see. It's not only just clearer, but also sharper. Clarity is an important part of perception. Without clarity there is no way we can "define" the objects in our life.
So to all of us who are busy berating life, take a moment to take a look at your lenses. You might just be surprised how a couple of specks on the lenses or even a scratch, can drastically change the way we look at things. And you'll be even more surprised, how a quick moment of cleaning, can also change it all.
Today... are you using the right set of lenses? Think about it. =)
