We See What We Expect To See

People create filters that act like colored lenses of glasses.We see the world through our unique colored lenses. If our glases are yellow then every day is a sunny day! If our lenses are gray then every day is a gray day! For the wearer of the yellow lenses there is no way anything looks gray . So whatever event happens it is viewed sunny OR it is not seen at all.
Wayne Dyer, PhD. wrote the book You'll See It When You Believe It. Most people live their lives backwards saying,"I will believe it when I see it." We co-create our reality.
We are responsible for what happens in our lives. We choose our interpretations of events. And our children do exactly as we do...or they do exatly the opposite of what we do to avoid winding up being like us.
When we live making conscious choices, when we take off those glasses and truly see life, then we recognize our power. As a role model for our children we have the awesome responsibility of making our lives great. Why would anyone consciously choose otherwise?
