HOW "I" SEES IT.....

I find it much easier to handle Uncertainty when I see it instead as Possibility;
Fear, when I can see it as Excitement and an Anticipation of Adventure;
Boredom, when I look at it as Anger that I don't think I have a right to;
Anger, when I experience it as a Passion for something valuable;
Distrust, when I choose to see it as Carefulness;
Stupidity, when I take away the criticism and see it as Innocence.
Emptiness, when I can see it as a disguise for Unlimited Possibility;

It's the critical labels and judgments we pin onto what's going on
That affect the way we see it.
How we choose to see what's happening
Presents the  problems we might have in engaging creatively with it.

The pin-ons are often more a matter of habit than of fact.
We have to step in consciously at some point
And choose to look at it from a different point of view --
Not because the new way is necessarily "right",
But just to get free of an old habit
That's no longer working for us --
If it ever did.

When we change the way we see,
We change what we see,
And that changes everything.
