The way you see your Life, shapes your Life

We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.

How do you see your life? The image that appears in your mind is a very important image. It is your map of how your life works and what you expect from it. The way you define ‘Life’ determines your perspective. Your perspective influences how you invest your time, spend your money, use your talents, and also how you value your relationships. It determines your expectations, goals, priorities and values.

If you think life is a party, having fun will always be your priority. If you think of Life as a race, winning will be most important for you, and you will be in constant hurry, rush. If you think Life is an exam, you will constantly be facing tests to prove your worth and do better than before. If you think life is a drama, a play, you will try and give meaning to every small incident, and try to follow the storyline, connecting the dots. If you think life is unfair, you will be disappointed as you will constantly fight for fairness. If you think Life is growth, your center of focus every day and every moment will be to utilise every opportunity to enrich your mind and grow at all fronts of life. If you think Life is a gift, you will utilise all resources with care, and enjoy it as an experience. If you think Life is change, you will encounter the diverse variety of life, every day will hold a new experience for you.

When we look through a red coloured glass, we see all our surroundings in shades of red. If we look through a blue one, we will find a world blue in colour. Similarly, our view of life biases our mind to see the world through its lens. Awareness is the key. What colour is your lens?

What is your view of Life? You may be basing your life on a faulty life metaphor. Introspect and check if you are heading in the right direction of your purpose, or sabotaging your own efforts. If your view of life is not empowering you, clean your lens. Learn to align your view towards your purpose. Make sure you are looking in the direction you want to go. Your path ahead will be clearer.
