Is the world cruel or kind? Filled with pain or joy? Is it hostile or friendly? Brutal or gentle? Is it filled with misery or hope? Which is it? It’s all those things.

Our existence contains all perspectives and evaluations. Expanding your perspective isn’t about becoming blind to the cruelty, or looking for only good, it’s choosing a perspective that is mostly likely to help you create the life you want, one that encourages happiness and joy.

There is a rich experience to be had in viewing our world from another’s perspective. See someone else’s joy, pain, success, failure. When you change your perspective, you change your experience of the world. It’s all a matter of intention. Which are you going to look for? Which are you going to emphasize?

What you look for, you will find.
