Well it has been a week and a half since I made the goal to redefine the way I look at myself and redefine the way I see beauty in people. The biggest perspective I wanted to change was the way I see myself.
What I have found is that in being more compassionate with yourself, you find more compassion for others. In trying to be more understanding of yourself you find more patience with others.
The way you view yourself is often reflected in the way you treat other people. When I have bad days and am filled with anger or frustration most of it can be boiled down to something I have done to make myself mad. Very little of the negative emotion that I feel really ever has to do with someone else, it usually is me.
We are the root and core to our own problems, that is consistent with every person to walk this earth, I feel very strongly that, that much is true. We decide whether the things surrounding us in life are problems or progressions to something much greater than we behold today.
When we give a little focus to inner reflection for a small moment we either loose ourselves, or find a little piece of ourselves that was lost. In looking at ourselves we can either become lost in arrogance or softened in self realization and peace, which we than reflect to others.
The hardness and arrogance we feel in this life is as much to our doing as the compassion, patience and love that we feel. It is our perspective and outlook on life, whether built by religion or philosophy, that creates us, not our circumstances.
Like an artist applying paint to canvas, we apply our own paradigm to our vision of life.
