Perception

Little shout out to Curt Joyce who is in the picture, showing what I saw as a perfect perception photo...



As I continue on in my life and love and travels I am holding onto this... Perception of every situation be it through my eyes or another’s, is completely different for everyone involved. I am also finding we are all oh so different yet exactly the same in humanity. It is funny to see that through your life, you are constantly changing, growing and expanding your knowledge through situations and thus through the outcomes that occur. Through this process, depending on where you are at in your life, you see the big picture differently than the ones around you.

You may look around at one moment and be so wrapped up in your own transgression that you do not notice the ones you are affecting and the impact you make. One moment you can be totally transfixed on a situation, a condition, and the next moment be on to the next event in life thus leaving a whirlwind of clutter behind you for another to grasp and repair. This is the same for everyone, leaving no blame since we all are selfish by nature. I have found that our perception of any situation depends on the amount of our hearts we have given to the circumstance... This reminds me that we all can be self-seeking, self-centered, and at times egotistical people, but we can rest assure knowing that we are all in this category together. We all like to think that we have others best interest at heart. That we can fall in love, love another for all they are, for whom they are, and what they stand for in any circumstance. But the question remains, would you do whatever it takes to protect that person when you had to. Would you fight for their happiness before your own, would you trust your heart when it tells you that your spirit is not alive without them? Would you give all you had, sacrifice all you had in order to be with them, trusting that you would be ok once you gave what you had to.

Perception is completely reliant on where you have been, on what you are letting your heart see at that moment. I believe that it does not come naturally for us to see clearly. We have to open our minds, trust on our Gods plan, and believe in our heart that beats for a reason. We only have one life, one road to travel with the ones we love. My hope is I will forever trust, forever open my heart and remember that perception for some situations is ever changing and although circumstances will change, my hope is my perception will remain the same with the things that are real, that need not be changed. I will fight for my loves and my hopes and not take for granted the time that he has given us.

As I continue on I will position myself to be able to see that people are forever pulled in many directions. That life happens and that many complications arise. I will also take solitude in that I do not have to fix anything; I have surrendered to my God whose perception of my life and where I shall go is all that matters. I do not have to make others see my thoughts or feel my feelings. I believe there are few in this world that will look at me and they will feel as though they can literally see life through my eyes… and I believe the ones that do this, the ones that are real… will be here tomorrow.
