Seeing Value 

Have you ever noticed that one minute you could be seeing the value of
someone or something and the next, you find yourself being judgmental,
critical or irritated by that same person or thing?

What is it about those moments that caused you to see with such a 
different perspective?

Usually, perspective or perception changes according to the lens from
which you are looking. If you are in a place of fear or stress,
invariably, your lens will be much smaller and your lower brain centers
will be more active than your higher brain centers (where you do cognitive
processing and intellectual reasoning). 

If you feel balanced, more in love, more lucky, chances are your lens will be much wider, more able to see the big picture, as your higher brain centers are functioning.

The truth is that you usually have a choice as to which lens you want to be looking through--big or small.

Which lens do you choose?

Know that if you are functioning from a place of fear or stress, it is
likely that you are feeling undervalued, criticized or judged yourself.
If you feel this way, you are more likely to project this negativity
on someone or something else.

The key is to see the value in you. 

Look into your own heart and focus on your positive qualities and how lucky you are. Count the varied ways you feel blessed. When you do so, you may notice that your heart and mind begin to open up. Then, try to see the value in the situation or person--what are the positive qualities? In what way does the situation hold value for you?

Remember, that everyone and everything has value. What that value is,
is up to you to discover. Your job is to first uncover your own value.

The rest will follow!
