see my life through different eyes

Ugh, I lost the first part of this entry and have to dash off, so am going to come back and resurrect it later.

Then I was struck by two things – two interesting tensions. First, that the reality she perceived for me was so different to the reality I perceive for myself (my life in no way feels ‘perfect’) and second, that a fresh set of eyes often has more sight about the good things that our own vision has become blurred to.

Maybe the answer lies somewhere in between, in striking the balance between our familiar sight and the lens through which other people see our lives. There might be some sort of peace to find in that middle ground.

Well what do people see when they look into mine?

I couldnt even tell you what i what want them to see? lol

Spending far to much time wondering about others veiws and opinions of ME is nuts….I know this but still its a hard one to crack! I admire so many other people and know what I feel and think for them! It would just amaze me to really see myself through others eyes…..but then again…..could i really take it? Do i really need this or is it one of those ego things…. I ….. in due course will leave at the door so to speak!

Maybe knowing or feeling the love from others is what i really want far more than seing how they veiw me!

Striving at the moent to acheive a way of being where i can feel these things and will have no need or want to see what they see, a kind of knowing what im putting out into the world is love , light and respect and anything that doesnt feel that or judges me in a negative way, is welcome to keep on walking!...confidence, confidence, confidence….keeps popping up this one for me!.....strange because i portray such a confident figure, when instructing or with freinds etc…..but often inside not feeling like i make out to the world…in fear of what “they may see!” starnge! lol

Even if i did, to what end ?.....would i want to change? Geuss thats why we havent developed these skills of mind reading, coss thats our time our private time! It just amazes me why im so intrigued into what the the world makes of little old me!

is vital. To see that the small changes that we make in our daily lives, make a greater difference than we think. We don’t have to be perfect, our flaws and imperfections make us unique.

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

I may not have as much as some in the world, but I definitely have a lot more than many others, who are really struggling in terms of poverty… In the west we are always striving for material gain and forget that we are indeed blessed with the basic essentials in life… This attitude of always wanting more only creates seeds of discontentment, whereas, if we could only see with open eyes how much we do have, then we would feel rich and affluent and live with a greater sense of contentment…

I think I just need to put the lights on… :)

It would be interesting to be able to do this, as I am sure that what ever I would call my life now, someone else would call it the exact opposite, of course, it depends on the person, but everyone’s perspective on the same thing is different.

need glasses… ;)

to see that this goal is still going strong after I posted it many moons ago… It seems to me that it is always easier to look at what everyone else has got, how well they are doing and just how smoothly their lives appear to be running. what is hard to remember is that we are only getting a tiny glimpse of a different life to our own, and that it will nearly always seem better than the one we have… You know what they say about the grass being greener on the other side!!!
