INTERPRETING LIFE

     How we feel on the inside is how we experience the world on the outside. If we are fearful, everything is scary, and if we are full of love it's beautiful. It's a true statement that we don't see things as they are, but as we are. Depending on out outlook, a rainy day can be cozy, or fun, or it can ruin our life. It's not one thing or the other in reality. It's just raining. We impose the meaning of our choosing; we slap it on like a packaging label: good, bad, miraculous, unfair...
     Let's consider the way we interpret our experience, and recognize that we can choose to experience it differently at any time. Let's make a regular reality check and be willing to change our minds.

My take on life is up to me. I can choose neutrality or negativity, optimism or despair.
