The Compassionate Perspective

by Geoffrey Jowett

You respond to what you perceive, and as you perceive so shall you behave. ~ “A Course in Miracles”

You are responsible for creating the daily experiences and continuous occurrences of your life. Your perception is the mirror that reflects back to you what is on your mind or in your mind. You influence the happenings of your day from the vantage point of how you see yourself. Do you see yourself as an undervalued servant or an empowered warrior? Do you see yourself as a shamed silent child or is your perspective of yourself the honest and creative person that freely expresses what’s in your heart? What is your point of view?

Your outlook significantly influences where you concentrate your attention and positions your attitude for each moment. When you awaken and begin a new day, be aware of how you perceive yourself since your perception will be the foundation of the thoughts you generate to create the people you will draw into your life, the situations you will participate in and the circumstances you share with your family, business associates, friends and most importantly yourself.
