How do you look at the world around you? What do you see? These are questions we rarely ask ourselves, because it's something we don't think is important. The truth is, it is important. The way we view the world around us is incredibly important to our outlook on life. When we see this ugly, dirty, harsh world, that's how our lives end up feeling. Unfortunately, that's how a lot of us look at it. But we can change that.
There are a lot of things we miss and take for granted. A lot that we don't see, or don't pay attention to. We're so blinded by the problems we choose to see, we miss the beauty of life. Take a minute to look around. See through the eyes of a child again. Everything is surprising, and wondrous, and mysterious. Life seems so much brighter than it has in years. Why can't we see through the eyes of a child more often? The universe holds such a vast amount of mystery, why do we ignore it completely?
Take another moment to see through the eyes of an artist. The world holds a vast amount of beauty, and all you need to do to see it is let your mind form a new image, take what you see and add to it. Light and color and designs flowing around, over, and through things. Look at things from a different point of you. A different focus. Some of the simplest things can end up making the most interesting images.
We all have the ability to see from a perspective, and to change the one we see from. But everyone tends to use the wrong one all the time. Why is that? The news, movies, social media; it all tends to guide our view in a less desirable direction than where we should be looking. Because of this, many people fall into a trap that is very difficult to get out of, even though the way out seems so simple.
We should challenge ourselves to take time every day to look at our life and see it differently. To see the good things, to look at the beauty in every situation. You may start to see things change; not only how you feel, but how things in your life look. Something as simple as a change of perspective can go a long way.
So take a moment to change it and see the beauty and wonder in the world. To see the magic of life.
