Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: My perceptions color my whole experience.
As I had just finished writing these paragraphs, I hit save and nothing was saved -- it disappeared. My first reaction was, oh no, I lost all my work. But then, I realized that I could perceive this differently and see it as a new possibility... that perhaps my first draft was not the one that needed to be shared.
And so it is with life, we sometimes "fail" at something, or a dream doesn't come true, or someone we care for leaves our life... And we may perceive that as a loss or failure, rather than an open door to new possibilities. There have been times in my life when I felt like my whole world was falling apart... and later I discovered, that actually one door had closed to an existence that needed to be left behind, and a whole new world of possibilities had arrived.
As we journey on the road of life, let us remember that our perceptions will color our whole experience. If we see something as difficult, or as a failure, or as a dead end, then this is what we will experience. If instead we search for the gift in the experience and the possibilities it now makes available to us, we will get a whole new experience that will bring us joy and a growing love and appreciation for all that is.
