What are you looking for?

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.Sir John Lubbock

 

Do we ever pause to think, where our thoughts come from; I mean how did a particular thought arise or what caused it?

Once a thought arises what events (past or present), tendencies, biases and inclinations color this thought?

Our entire life experience is run by the thoughts we manufacture about what’s going on, these thoughts in turn are colored by our personality and life events.

Be aware of what you think and hence what you see.

The best of now and here

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
John Greenleaf Whittier

There’s a lot of good and goodness around us, if we just pay attention. To a large measure our thoughts, our current thoughts, will create the future that is yet to be.

If we notice and appreciate all that’s great around us and in us, then we truly live today; and we create an amazing tomorrow because our thoughts today are made up of all that’s beautiful!

What can you use to remind yourself to do that? Daily?
