This is something I found as I was scrolling down Facebook today. It's written quite cleverly and makes one realize how changing your perspective can change your experience. Please enjoy!
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true that
It's all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be obtained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true that good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day
Now read from bottom to top and see how the meaning changes!
Unveiling the Power of Perception
It's a fantastic example of how altering our perspective can entirely transform our understanding.
It reminds us that the way we perceive things greatly influences our feelings and experiences. So, when life seems challenging, remember the power of perspective!
However, I do understand how not-so-easy it is to change our perspective.
When the mind is filled with negativity, no matter how hard you try to be grateful and positive, it can seem like a futile and meaningless attempt. This is where learning the tool to let go of your own thoughts comes in handy. Understanding how our mind accumulates thoughts and attachments, and learning the step-by-step method to declutter that emotional and psychological baggage, naturally shifts your perspective.
Just as we go through our daily activities and, at the end of the day, cleanse ourselves to stay clean and healthy, there are times when you might feel like you can't be bothered to take a shower. However, you do it anyway because you know you will feel clean and refreshed afterward. Similarly, making cleansing your mind a daily habit, like taking a shower, will make it much easier to maintain a positive and open perspective. This will, in turn, help you enjoy your life so much better, much like the difference in meaning when you read the writing from top to bottom and bottom to top.
Let's strive to keep not only our bodies clean and healthy, but also our minds clear and happy!
