Perspective really is everything. At this point in my life, right here in my room on a Sunday I'm feeling particularly content. In my privilege to be able to feel content I am able to really be honest with myself. More than anything I see that by simply believing things are going well...they do. It's a huge realization when you come to accept that your reality isn't accurately based on what anyone else perceives. For me I spent the majority of my earlier life seeking validation from other people and realities.
Obviously it can be quite difficult to cater to other individuals desires but for some reason something in my brain couldn't get enough. And now I'm living quite on the opposite side of the spectrum; happily I must say. It was necessary for me to have this stage I mentioned before to really even seek a state of mind in which I actively understood happiness is my own.
This goes to speak to the importance of things in our lives as well. I love plenty of aesthetic things, just like anyone does. Love these things, but when they go missing or when they leave I feel it's not right to let them take your happiness. When you realize that you control your happiness, not necessarily the events that you would justify as promoting or inhibiting happiness, it seems happiness is achievable at any moments breath. Contrary to what it seems like, we can still exist with plenty of emotion in this mind state as well.
But what is any mind state but a survival/coping mechanism? When we consider every thought we think as human beings, or instead of saying human rather accepting us as being only biologically relevant, than it becomes evident that every transfer of thought from one cortex to the next is simply a counter to something we've experienced in our perceived reality. Another way to envision this is by identifying our thoughts as mathematical equations. As humans we innately are bound to compare everything occurring outside of us to the process within. That is, we cannot experience any other perspective but ours, with complete integrity. How can I understand how anything looks to you if I can't use my own eyes as vessels to understand and communicate with whats going on behind yours. In the end I guess that I'm saying everything coming in has to filtered in some way. So why not make your own reality? Why not be the sole judge of your consequences, the only interpreter of whats being relayed to your ears, eyes, and hands? In other words be positive and don't let others tell you what your worth or how relevant you are to humanity. The world is what you make it.
