Empowerment Begins With Perception: Reality is Relative
Empowerment Begins With Perception: Reality is Relative
Your reality is relative did you realize this? Science clearly shows that "reality" begins on the inside of us based on our own personal perception or way that we see life, beliefs and experiences. Have you ever heard someone say, "You need to face reality"? I have to ask, "whose reality".
You see, your reality is not my reality. We view the world through different eyes, through different lenses. This is very relevant at this time in our history. Right now, I'm hearing a lot of fear messages being generated over the airways and occasionally I'll bump into someone who talks about doom and gloom I quickly excuse myself from the conversation and move on.
This does not mean that I do not notice that Wall Street has tumbled, the health care system needs to call 911 (I practiced medicine for over 20 years after all, I was an insider), the housing industry is generally in quicksand, and the workplace is shifting rapidly. Yes, I do live on this planet and I live in Chicago.
However, from my perspective, these are not doom and gloom times at all. In fact, I see it as a time of opportunity to wake up and shake up any of my old
paradigms that may be holding me back from living a life I truly love.
Because I have chosen to adapt instead of trying to hang on to a dying dinosaur, I feel like I was born for "such a time as this".
I actually am more prosperous and happy inside than I've ever been in my
life. Why? Because I have chosen to set my goals and live by faith.
When we are clear about what we want and at the same time deal with our blind spots that are holding us back by being open to looking at what shows up in our lives, we become more powerful than ever. True power is not power over others or struggling to control external situations and circumstances.
No, true empowerment is power over yourself. It is power over your own "bad habits" that keep you focused on what is wrong, lacking or missing
in your life. This is critical to understand as what you focus on expands.
The mind thinks in pictures and if you keep looking at negative news and keep reading negative statistics, you are setting yourself up to feel fear in your heart.
And, feelings are magnetic like attracts like. If you keep feeling bad, don't be surprised if in your reality, what you don't want will keep somehow showing up! I've learned that when I focus on gratitude, what I want, love instead of fear I just seem to magically attract more of the same! As Albert Einstein once said, "Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions"
During these changing times, it is more important than ever to be mindful of what you are focusing on, for in truth, BELIEVING is SEEING, not the other way around. There's not enough space in this blog post to explain, but this concept is even based in science now. If you keep looking for and expecting the worse you will probably find it. Since reality is relative, why not intentionally focus on your own vision for your life with confidence, instead of allowing others to distract you from living your best life.
