what you see is what you get

Wrong – Absolutely wrong!  And how many times have we either said this in our minds or out loud?  I dare you to change one word in that phrase and see the difference.  One word changed and you’re back in control.  One simple word that changes everything.

HOW you see is what you get.  HOW you see me is what you’ll get from me. 

HOW you see life is what you’ll get from life. 

I could sit here today and write about how life is so hard, so unfair, so so so………………. And I make no difference sitting in that mindset.  The world closes in – getting smaller and smaller – I get smaller and smaller.

But…. when I change HOW I look at life, at people that dizzy spiral downward feeling stops with a jerk.  My lungs fill with air, the room begins to brighten…I get taller, my world gets bigger….I make a difference.

I dared to change HOW I  see everything.  

H OW I  see you…. HOW I see me…. HOW I see life.
