Do you accept the way you see the world?

I am starting to look at the way I see the world. I am realising that my view is very different from every one else's.

Each view of 'me' is completely different to my own. The way I see another, will not be shared by any one else.

I am trying to learn to judge less and appreciate more. To become focused on seeing all the positive things in life, as opposed to the negative.

It is difficult and I find it very hard.

I am doing it because I want to see myself, in my world, and all those around me in a positive light, as much as the time as possible.

I am trying, not completely in vain, to emphasise the good, and push the bad far away.

So, if my immediate thought on seeing what the OP describes or something in RL is negative, my aim is to check myself, and wonder why on earth I need to view it as a negative and attempt to change my response to a more positive thought. Of course, there is a line, ie. crimes and neglect etc. where I do not change my negative thoughts.

I don't ever say this stuff out loud - just wonder what others do/think.

I try to do the same. I try to view the beauty in everything.

I recently had some moments where I felt that some friends of mine - all they did was judge other people and comment on their behaviour. I found this to be totally ignorant and depressing to listen to. As if I had to join in and comment and agree with what they said about people. This really really got to me and I thought 'how dare they judge other people' but, what had I just done? I had judged them for their behaviour. I actually asked the universe/angels etc to help me distance myself from their attitudes. Since then I have felt more comfortable in their presence, and there is less judging going on.

If I don't agree with something or can't understand it I ask the universe to show me another viewpoint to help me understand.
I try to always see the positive, even thought yes this is hard - but sometimes for everything there is a reason, it isn't always disclosed to us immediately.

I also believe that the things we think about or the way we think about things shape our world too. So if I am going around in self pity then I will draw more of the same to myself. If I am thankful and appreciative of everything, then more of the same will come to me. I suppose this is gearing towards the law of attraction, you put your thoughts out there and more of the same will come to you. More recently some experiences have led to me to believe that this is actually real (in my world anyway).

If we think something is doom and gloom, then that is what we make it. Our thoughts shape our world. It makes me unhappy when people say things like i.e' oh, for god's sake it's raining again...' The rain is actually vital for our existence and it is an amazing thing when it rains. OK I don't like getting soaked on the way to work either, but I buy a raincoat.....
