I’ve only seen the world from my own eyes, so it is difficult to discuss perspective in a detached or observant way. My perspective has been mostly positive and optimistic throughout my life. I seldom think the worse of people or their motives; however, I can be somewhat guarded. Perhaps I am merely careful. Somehow, I always feel things will work out. I don’t sit around waiting for things to happen, but I visualize what I want a lot. Even if many people think its bunk, I subscribe to the teachings of The Secret and the power of positive thinking. It doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is going to be rich, but I believe you end up having the life you think you should have. Like the quote from Henry Ford, “If you think you can or you think you can’t; either way you are right.”
In recent conversations with a new friend, we’ve discussed different perspectives on a shared conversation. I totally understood something different to what was being said to me. It was clarified to me that I was participating in my own paradigm and not receiving the information accurately. It may very well be true and quite intellectual. However, I believe I just understand what I want to understand when anyone speaks to me.
Then there are lies…well, as much as I detest liars, I confess to being the biggest liar in my own life. I lie to myself all the time and only believe what I want to believe. No one has placed a mask or veil over any truth more so than I. I hear the truth in front of me and choose to believe another interpretation. It is sick, I know. I am guilty.
And yet, I rather be me than anyone else I know. I love my own delusions and live happily within them. I want to see the world through my rose colored glasses and never see that the Emperor has no clothes. Let me be, I like it like that!!
