A Childs Eye's

I woke up to a New World this morning, like I do ever morning. It’s wonderful when everything is always fresh and new. I think that is part of seeing with child eyes. If you get to the still point in your mind, where you are completely centered and then just live in the moment you can return to your child state. I know it goes against what society wants or believes, but I don’t care. If the grownups want to make life difficult to live in, and then be miserable living in it, they can. But that doesn’t mean I have to conform to their misery. In the Child State, you get to see the world you want to and when you do see it that way it is your world. Who’s to say that by seeing it the way you want it to be that it doesn’t become that way. A chance to decide which material things you really want, and someone who really loves you.

Your reality is based on the way you perceive it to be. What is real is what you believe it to be. You can chose to see an unfortunate incident as a disaster that you worry about, and let it control your reaction to it. Or you can view the event with child eyes and explore it like a new adventure therefore grab the positive, learn a lesson or just go with the flow and move on. The way you perceive things is how you deal with life. Maybe you can’t completely manifest your reality,but you can change the outcome. For example you have an unfulfilling job, so you aren’t happy and only make a mediocre effort, you do just enough to complete your assigned tasks. Then because of this you are fired. There are several ways to perceive this. You can do what society wants, panic and let the fear take hold of you. You can worry that you won’t be able to pay your bills, lose your home, maybe even your relationship, your very way of life this line of thinking may manifest those exact results. Let’s go with this scenario for a moment. If all that does occur you can live in despair and feel your life is ruined. On the other hand you could look at the positive and realize that you are free of a job you hated. All the material possessions that you got once you can get again. If the person you are with bails you can see that they didn’t love you, but what you had. Therefore you are lucky to be rid of these awful burdens and be free again to build a new life filled with a satisfying career, a chance to decide which material things you really want,and someone who really loves you. If you had seen it immediately as a blessing you could change the outcome, get renewed from it as positive event, and instead of letting it control you and ruin your life, take immediate action to move forward toward things that will bring you happiness.

Too many times we settle for the routine we are in and live in quite misery believing this is as good as it can be. When you learn to grab the positive in any situation you feel good about yourself and as a positive person you influence those around you to be the same. The fear was ruling you long before the event occurred. If your child eyes were open all along you would have seen what was going on and taken steps to change your situation before the incident ever occurred. You would have quit the job and started creating your new life sooner. That I the leap of faith to believe that what you feel is right is right for you. The faith defeats the fear and allows you to take positive actions first, instead of being put in the position of reacting to circumstances. Society has built this trap and works hard to maintain control of the individual and fear is their primary weapon.
