Gift eyes see the world differently. Unsatisfied with the place you are is not an uncommon thing to have happen. The dissatisfaction is a motivator. It’s a change, or it gets you off your mark, gets you going it’s not a bad thing to have. But sometimes we become overly oriented externally. Too much on the work, get, got, got to have.
Living Without Gift Eyes, It’s Not The Best Place
In the old movie Buckaroo Banzai, Buckaroo says the classic statement, “Wherever you go, there you are.” It is silly, but in that silliness is a piece of truth. You’re just where you are, right now, and it may not be perfect, it is unlikely perfect. But, you’ve constructed, in your mind, what perfection looks like but you’re not there but it is where you are. So, take a moment to survey your world, do a little accounting. But only look at it with gift eyes not sour eyes, gift eyes.
How Can I Live Well?
Gift eyes asked the questions, “How can I live well?” “How can I live into what I’m experiencing?” “What can I do that will make the world better for others?”
Sour eyes, “That’s not good enough.” Whatever it is, it isn’t good enough. The fault is always found. The accounting is always wrong, and it’s a heck of a way to go through life.
Gift eyes. it changes your perspective. How odd that we should be talking about eyes and shifting your perspective. But it does, it changes everything. It makes your life better, it makes those lives around you better, and ultimately it flows out into the community.
Take a moment don’t look at the world with sour eyes. Shift with the gift eyes, look at it. I bet you within five minutes you’re going to be smiling, laughing, and grinning at the experience that you’re having. Your world becomes greater brighter and more enjoyable.
