Perspective

You have the power to change the world. Literally.

How you see things and events determines how you will feel about them. Change how you see them and your experience will change. This is the secret.

Admittedly, it’s a poorly kept secret and it does seem a little underwhelming at first glance. But it is in fact a superpower.

‘Happiness is not getting what you want, it’s wanting what you get.’
🤮 but true.

We spend all our time trying to change outcomes. Earning more money. Acquiring stuff and experiences. Working on our careers. Our status. Getting people to like us, etc, etc. Happiness is just around the corner, if only… blah. In this way we just push happiness out of the moment into a future moment that never arrives because it’s always now.

Happiness is right here, if you just appreciate what the universe is serving up right now. Doing the dishes? Enjoy the shit out of doing those dishes. Waiting for the bus? Appreciate the moment for what it offers: time to do nothing. In traffic? Enjoy the comfortable car you’re in, the coffee that you brought, the view out the window.

Just change your perspective to gratitude and appreciation for what the moment is serving up. Doing anything else frankly, is just dumb.

The end.
