Where we stand determines what we’re able to see

where we stand determines what we’re able to see Octavia Butler

Another one of the favorited teachers on this experience I called life is Carolyn Myss. she has a theory about living from the penthouse, compared to living in the basement. From the basement the view will be different to the the view from the penthouse. And just with life, from where we are the perspective will be different. The view is, your thoughts, your consciousness, your words, your actions. Your thoughts and beliefs will determine how you see and approach a situation.

Our thoughts are our responsibility, our thoughts are our responsibility, our responses to situations are our responsibility. That gives us power, it gives us the ability to move our view from the basement and move up. When we stay in victimhood, when we stay stuck in ego, we stay in the basement. Our views will not change and when that happens we feel powerless to shift, change and improve.

The way to move from the basement is to do the work on Self starting with your thoughts. What are you thinking, consistently

Consistent meditation, quiet time, prayer, self talk and gratitude trains your mind.

It starts in the mind!

As the popular saying goes "What are you thinking?"
