To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.
~Ken S. Keyes
We have two eyes and I am thinking we need to use them for two separate things; one to see what we have and the other what is missing. I also suggest keep one eye working more than the other, perhaps even wear a patch over the one who is a forever counting what is Not here.
Our train of thoughts need to keep the track to the positive eye well used, and abandon the tracks to the one that is forever reporting the doom and gloom, the worrier, the spoil sport, the one that is adding up a long column of negatives, when there is a whole world of good to be calculated.
I know that by switching how I look upon my job makes a difference, if I can see all the positives, the downsides will fade from neglect.
I heard Dr. Maya Angelou say of people who whine, ‘stop you will let them know a Victim is in the area.’
So in the vicinity of your voice how is it being heard?
What are you mentioning most often, the things going right or what is going wrong?
We are either a victim commentator of life or one that sees things as they are and rolls by accepting, being enthusiastic or having enjoyment in what is, as Eckhart Tolle suggests.
If you can accept what is going on, you are no longer a victim.
When you fight it, you become a victim to It, no matter what It is.
It is raining and you want sunshine, the rain will victimize you.
Just by wanting what is not there, IT takes your power; your eyes are on what isn’t happening.
When you keep your strongest eye on what isn’t happening, you waste what you have in life.
Can you have what you don’t see?
Yet we believe we can have what we don’t see by focusing on what isn’t there.
How backwards this all is…What we can see, we don’t and what we don’t we focus on.
Seeing what isn’t and not seeing what is.
Like a trick mirror, reporting back what isn’t there to see!
