Perspective

Perspective: What is the Truth?

This past weekend I took a “kind of” mini vacation and spent some time in the pool – floating! As I was leisurely thinking about the future and projecting positive vibrational thoughts, the float was taking me from end to end along the pool, across one way and then the other and at times in a circle. As I gazed up at the sun, I noticed it would “seem” to move position. Okay, I do know it was my float and the water moving me around as the sun didn’t move that fast, but it occurred to me that the way people look at things are but a matter of perspective of where they happen to be standing (or in my case floating – ‘smile’).

In this big beautiful world, we all have a particular perspective of things because of where we are standing, what our position in life is and our individual experiences.  As we look up at the sky and see the sun, the moon, the stars or clouds, we may perceive them to be in a different place in the sky because we are standing in a different place from someone else. For instance when looking up, the moon may seem a little further west to one person and someone else standing in a different place would think it was a little further east. But what is the ultimate truth? We believe our perspective is the ultimate truth, but don’t you think there is so much more than this because someone else’s belief of the ultimate truth is based on their own perspective which is way different than our own? Who is right and who is wrong?

The point is, sky aside, each of our particular perspectives is viewed at the place where we are standing. When we hear other people’s opinions, it is their perspective of their experiences and where they happen to be standing. This may not necessarily be a truth for everyone, but it is for them individually (or so they think).

When we see things with our very own eyes, it is our perspective of what we see and believe as truth but this is not the truth of what actually is.

Our lives are lived by our own sense of perspective – whether we live in the United States, Africa, Italy, Russia or anywhere we go through life by what we see, what we hear, what we think, what we decide, what we learn and where we live because it is our perspective of where we are standing.

So what would happen if we decided to open up our hearts and our minds to the real truth that there is so much more than what we can see, what we hear, what we think, what we decide, what we learn and where we live?

As simple as viewing the sun from a different standing point, the real truth is beyond our own perspective of what we are actually seeing, hearing and thinking.

What if we changed our perspective – our own powerful vibrational thoughts in order to begin to believe in the human race again? What if we changed our hearts to walk with a spirit of love daily? What if we believed in ourselves again and moved past “perceived” fears to take the steps to follow the path of our dreams? What if we changed our perspective from anger to peacefulness; from sadness to happiness; from tears to laughter; from hatred to love; from holding a grudge to forgiveness? This list can go on and on.

I believe many wonderful things could happen if we changed our perspective of where we are standing today – this very moment, by shifting our own powerful vibrational thoughts to what our soul knows already way deep down inside.

Let’s begin to change our perspective and open up our hearts, minds and souls by moving to another place from where we are currently standing. Shift into true enlightenment by acknowledging the REAL, ULTIMATE TRUTHS in order to live the life we were all meant to live!
