Imagine you go to a party with your camera. You grab a seat in the corner and zoom in on a group having a heated debate. Through the lens, it looks intense, maybe even a fight. Your mental picture of the party becomes one of frustration and tension.
But what if you swivel your camera around? Now you see another group across the room, roaring with laughter and clearly enjoying themselves. Suddenly, the party looks fun and vibrant!
This is the power of perception. We all have our own "camera angles" on life. We focus on certain details, interpret them in our own way, and that shapes our emotions. The party itself didn't change, but our mental picture of it completely transformed how we felt about it.
I don't know how many times i would be imagining what other people were thinking because of my own thinking when i was feeling nervous or out of place. All of that is generated by my thoughts. Now when i go into a place with people I think loving and happy thoughts and give myself the time to look at people and have loving thoughts. All of that brings me peace and happiness!!!
