Change Your Lens, Change Your Life
Focus on how your lens creates your reality.
You don't control the external world, but you control the lens through which you see it.
Your lens determines your reality.
Your lens assigns meaning to external events. It decides: Should I feel good, bad, or indifferent?
Do you paint your lens dark or do you make it pink or clear? Do you demand others behave differently, or do you accept them exactly as they are?
Philosophy, reflection, mindfulness, journaling – these are the tools to adjust your lens.
We didn’t choose the lens we were handed in childhood, but we have power to change it in the way we want.
Focus on changing your lens—not the external world and people you see through it.
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
Reflection on your point of view will reveal a treasure chest of awareness. I combine meditation, movement and writing as the ideal way to open the doors into this.
