You Will Always Find Evidence To Support Your Perspective, So Be Careful What You Look For

While we all live in the same world, we all experience the world differently. That’s because we look at things differently.

One of the mind mastery insights I often teach is that you will always find evidence to support your perspective. If you look for evidence that there’s no hope, you’ll most certainly find evidence to support that viewpoint.

If you instead look for evidence that there is hope, and progress and possibility, you’ll also find evidence to support that perspective.

If you look for evidence people are inherently bad, selfish or untrustworthy, you will find evidence to support that.

If you instead look for evidence that people are inherently kind and caring and when it matters most people show up open hearted, you will most certainly find evidence to support that view too.

The more evidence you find to support your CHOSEN perspective, the more ingrained your perspective becomes. You might then use that evidence to justify why your perspective is right.

This is extremely UPLIFTING if you have chosen to look in life for evidence of good things.

This, however, is a complete trap if you’ve looked at life with a negative viewpoint, because any evidence to support this will burden you and keep you stuck.

We can curate the world we want to live in, by focusing our awareness on what we want to see.

This most definitely doesn’t mean that challenges don’t exist. It doesn’t mean we are burying our heads in the sand. It is, instead, an acknowledgement that while life has challenges, we will add most value to ourselves, those we love and to the world at large when we CHOOSE to focus our attention in a way that creates better outcomes.

Where attention goes, energy flows.
Where energy flows, something grows.
