Living Life Through Rose-Colored Glasses



Every day we face challenges. These challenges can impact decisions related to our family, job, career, relationships, etc. As we make decisions to resolve these challenges, it is crucial that we have a clear understanding of what's at hand. The way we perceive our situation could limit our ability to move forward and secure the desired outcome.

Our perceptions can cause us to doubt our capabilities. Thoughts of insecurity, incorrect judgments, false beliefs, etc., can lead us down the wrong path. Have you ever made a decision that you felt was correct only to have doubt creep in? You begin to second guess your every thought. You find fault with previous decisions you made. You begin to think of all the reasons why your decisions will fail. Take a look at what is causing your doubt. Is the doubt sending you a message that you are about to make a wrong choice? Or maybe the doubt is an indicator that it's time for a change.

Instead of focusing on what won't work, start looking at your life through rose-colored glasses. Focus on the positives. You may not have a home mortgage, however, your apartment provides you with a roof over your head. You may be unable to secure a teaching job, however, you can train or mentor people. Your car may be old, however, it still runs good. Looking at life through rose-colored glasses provides you with options. Be receptive to exploring these options.

Seeing your truths and capabilities, will remove the dark tinting, or limitations that may be prevalent in your life. So, don't be afraid. Put on your rose-colored glasses and enjoy your life!
