Life's Lessons: Shifting Perspectives

Life happens for you, not to you. - This is an important subject because there’s an over abundance of victim mindsets in America and throughout the world. We are encouraged to have no identity other than our self perceived state of suffering and persecution, and that bad things happen to us because of either our belief, skin color, religious affiliation or any other category. This is not to say that there aren’t still cases of actual victimhood but, for the most part they are few and far between. - Why? - Because it’s easy. It’s easy to blame others. It’s easy to not take responsibility for your actions. It’s easy to say life happened to you, but that just brings you down into a deeper well of self pity. The reality, is if you’re willing to listen, everything happened for you. - If it’s not good, it’s not over. Dark comes before the morning. Everything “bad” thing that happens in life prepares you for the next level, teaches you a lesson, or encourages you through your current struggles. - When you make this perspective shift you start to see the silver lining around things, and learn from yours and others mistakes. Instead of blaming others, you take responsibility and change the only thing you can, YOU. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #visithawaii #hawaii #complexphotos #nakedhawaii #kings_shots #earthfocus #speechlessplaces #adventureculture #nature_wizards #earthpix #earthescope #stayandwander #natgeoadventure #wondermore #sony alpha
