We see things as we are, not as they are.

‘Short Shower Thoughts’ series: Episode 1.

This saying “we see things as we are” is very simple yet speaks a lot. I believe people tend to forget or aren’t consciously aware of this statement that works for every possible situation in life.

How we experience life and perceive things depends on our inner foundation and how we are. If we grew up to believe that everyone will deceive you and you shouldn’t try things out, take risks, you will perceive everything out of fear. Something or someone always coming after you. If you grew up in a environment of love and surrounded by opportunities, other perspectives, you will be able to come from a place of love and perceive life as another loving experience. If you are insecure, you will view your surroundings as judgy or judging you specifically. Once more if you come from a place of love, you will not wonder if one if judging you or not. You will realize that everyone has their own little worlds and worries.

Once you realize life is coming from you and not at you, the statement “we see things we are” resonates more profoundly. Thoughts?
