Choosing to see the world through the lens of “Right” or “Wrong”

Hello Friends,

There are two questions, through which we view our experiences, that have the potential to either hold us in a state of constriction and tunnel vision or open us to a state of greater expansion and possibilities. These questions are… “Am I looking for what’s right?” or “Am I looking for what’s wrong”? 

When we consciously look for what’s “right”, we are able to see the “good” in ourselves, in other people, as well as in our situations. This positive perspective opens our hearts and allows us to appreciate and have gratitude for our daily blessings. We feel inspired about our life and happier with ourselves.

When we look for what is “wrong”, we become tuned in to anything that will support this negative perspective. We easily notice what “isn’t right” about the many aspects of our lives, and the people in them. In looking for what is wrong, we may zoom in on the negative qualities of others, seeing only their weaknesses. 

The moment we find something wrong, we automatically deflect, pointing our fingers in blame at others or at situations that we claim are “out of our control”. We easily make everything outside of us wrong and avoid taking responsibility for our own lives. 

When we look for what is wrong, we will feel disappointed, discouraged, discontent and frustrated. 

“The real voyage of discovery comes not in seeking new landscape, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust

I invite you to notice how often you are making yourself, another person, or an event in your life wrong. Once you have greater awareness, you get to choose how you would like to view yourself and others. Can you look at these same circumstances and people and see what is right about them? Every experience, every person, has the potential to be “right” and “wrong”. It is up to you to decide through what filter you are willing to experience the world.

Warm Wishes,

Stephanie
