Do you view life as a gift or a burden?

Do you feel as though your day is full of tasks and obligations or opportunities?

Is the day ahead of you something you dread or embrace?

Your internal perspective of your life will have more to do with how you experience life than any other external event or force ever will.

Now you might argue that I have no idea about your life and the things you’re going through and you’re absolutely correct. But you still have a choice about how you view your experiences.

I’m not saying that changing your perspective will eliminate challenges, struggles, and difficult situations because that would not be truthful on my behalf.  What I am saying is that when it comes to dealing with life, it’s not what happens to you, but how you view and respond to it that matters most.

I’m well aware that changing a perspective is not as easy as flipping a switch, but it’s not impossible either. It requires patience, time and most of all a willingness to do so.

Changing your perspective of life might take a while especially if you’ve endured challenges early in life that have left you with some emotional and or physical scars, but hopefully you can realize that your history doesn’t have to dictate your future.

When you give yourself permission to you view your life as a gift you allow yourself to enjoy it more. You’ll find opportunities to appreciate the moments just a little more. You’ll begin to shed the burden of carrying life and on occasion, you might even experience life carrying you.
