Optimist…a change in perception
ByDecember 2, 2009
No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.”– Helen Keller
Truly a great statement. Pessimism lives only through fear. And when we are in fear we cannot reach beyond our small thoughts to reach our wildest dreams. We cannot break barriers to find the unknown. A Course In Miracles says that a miracle is a change of perception. So the best change of perception we can have is turning from a pessimistic thought to an optimistic thought. You will feel your whole body’s energy change. You will feel the pit in your stomach disappear. You will feel your breath again. And you will find magic! A yoga teacher I saw this week said “start with just turning the edges of your lips into a small smile”. You will have started your change in perception. And the world can be yours!
Happy day and may you start your sail to uncharted land!
