REALITY

Reality is a touchy subject. What is real?

A closed minded person believes everything we can touch or see to be real. But then if I can see it and touch it but in a different perspective then doesn’t that make my sense of reality different from my friend’s?

The truth is that NOTHING is real. Reality is an illusion. It is all in our minds.

What one person sees as beautiful another might see as ugly. What one person sees as good another might see as bad.

Understanding this helps us be able to understand that if nothing is real except in our minds then we control what we let in and what we don’t. We control how we view our surroundings and what we allow to be real for us.

Isn’t that great? To know how much power our mind gives us that we can control the reality around us?

So how do we use this to our advantage?

Simple. We start by changing our bad habits. Throughout our lives we accumulate bad habits in our daily lives. Especially in our thinking. We let so much trash enter our brains everyday. We lose the habit of being patient and become impatient. We forget our manners and learn to be selfish in our ways. Little by little we forget to be our good selves and become bitter.

If we see our lives in a different perspective our reality changes. It changes into what we want it to be. That is the power of the mind. That is the power we have in us.

How to begin to make that change:

1-      Understand that nothing is real. Reality is only what we accept as real.

2-      When bad things happen, stop and breathe, then view things in a calm way and try to find the silver lining. Try to view everything you are viewing as “bad” as a learning experience. Change it in YOUR mind.

3-      Change your habits. As you change your habits and view things differently you will learn to be a happier person. You will start to create Good Habits and let go of the bad habits you have accumulated in your life.

4-      Learn to put things in perspective. Ask yourself: Will this still be as bad in a year? Is this really as bad as I am making it out to be? If I was not the one in this situation what advice would I give the person that was?

Put things into a different perspective. Once you have changed your way of thinking your attitude and your life will change as well.

Reality is a concept. Some people see a horse and see beauty. Others see an animal. Others see a tool for work.  To every person seeing the same horse the reality is different.

Same as beauty. Ever heard the phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”? This is where that comes from. A woman or man could not be pleasing to the eye but to that one person who is in love he/she is the most beautiful person in the world. Nobody understands why. But that is the person’s reality. It is all in the head.

So change your reality today. Work to see things as YOU want them to be viewed and not as your emotions tell you they are or as society forces you to view them.
