Once You See It



 


Earlier this week, I found the attached meme in a group I’m in on Facebook.


It’s actually a really fun one.


You’ll probably be scratching your head for a few minutes trying to figure out what the heck that’s a picture of.


Then, just like that, you’ll see it and won’t be able to unsee it. 


I won’t talk about it in any more detail so that you can try to figure it out yourself.


But there’s a priceless lesson to be found in it pertaining to one’s own mindset


You see, we as humans are predisposed to think negatively.


It’s actually much easier to think with a glass half empty mentality than it is to think positively.


That’s why we all have at least some experience dwelling on the negatives in life and the fear-based “what ifs.”


The tragedy is, however, that many people get stuck in that mindset.


They literally can’t think positively.


Why that might be is perhaps a topic for another time,


But what such people don’t realize is that there isn’t much difference between being negative and being positive.


Just like the meme, which appears to be a weird distorted image at first, a negative mindset is neither clear nor logical.


It’s confusing.


I know. 


I spent the first half of my life with one!


But just like the meme, clarity is within your reach if you only spend the time to find it.


Of course, it’ll take you longer to find than it will for you to uncover the secret of this image, but the principle is exactly the same!


And once you find it,


Once you see it, 


You can’t unsee it.


Once you realize that light is within you as surely as darkness is, the darkness- that is, the negativity– will no longer be able to thrive within your Being. 


Just like once you see the truth of this image, you won’t able able to see its distortion any longer 😁

Look Good, Feel Great!

  Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently.  People started ...

  Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us.  It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way.  According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience.  It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
