BrotherWord - My View 

How we view the world around us greatly shapes our outlook on life.  More often than not, if we see the world and our surroundings as dreary, gloomy, or overcast, more than likely, we view our life in the same manner.  But when we see the sun piercing through the rain, not only can we find a rainbow in the sky, but we can also find a silver lining in any situation.

Recently, I had an opportunity to literally change my view, to unplug, disconnect, and take in the scenery.  Not only was it an eye-opening experience, but it made me realize how bogged down I had become with the everyday hustle and grind.  Additionally, I discovered how conditioned my mind had become and distorted my view was now.  So consumed with life’s demands, I couldn’t see the forest for the trees and as cliché’ as that may sound, it was a reality I had orchestrated unknowingly.  

But as soon as I changed my view, not only could I see the forest, I could also free my mind to see far beyond my present circumstances.  Changing your view may take changing your surroundings, discovering new territories, visiting a new place, physically shifting the scene of your true to life stage play.  Do not fret if in this season you are not able to change scenery.  Our imagination can take us to any distant land we desire and can transform our world with the blink of an eye.  Physically, spiritually, metaphorically change your view.  Take a trip, whether it be a 100 miles away or thousands miles away, and see a different world from your daily perspective.  Discover all the wonders this world has to offer and in the meantime, remember in spite of any perceived ailments, life is as bright as we choose to see it.  Even if you cannot go any further than from one room to the other, look out a window, open a book, or simply close your eyes and let your mind take you to a new land.  Either way, do not let circumstances, fear, contentment, or anything stop you from exploring a new realm.

Changing your view does not mean you have to change your location.  It means changing your mindset so that the way you envision the world around you has a positive and enriching return.  We live our lives by how we see it.  Change your view from within and watch your world change on the outside.  Choose how you see the world and watch it bend to your will.  Shape the images of life as you see fit and watch life begin to unfold in ways never seen before.  Change your view and your life will become your personal rainbow dispatching any cloudy day.
