What do you see? (Vision and Perception)

02.05.09

As an adult I've learned many lessons from children. Children have the innate ability to dream and to be positive. For the most part they have not been affected by the external issues of the world. When you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, they don't pause to consult their finances, they don't look at the color of their skin, they're not plagued by insecurities. Without any hesitation they respond in total surety that they want to be an astronaut, a doctor, a dare devil, so on and so forth. They simply believe.

I've learned that your life will follow your most predominant thoughts, if you think thoughts of failure, your life will most likely head in the direction of failure but if you remain single minded on accomplishing your dreams and heart's desires you will inevitably see them manifest in your life.

I believe the solution lies simply in this, protect your heart and mind from things that would poison your dreams, passions and desires. Don't let your past mistakes, failures, disappointments, or any other negative factor deter you from becoming who you always wanted to be. Take Martin Luther King Jr. as an example, he didn't bow down and give up when he came against great opposition regarding his dream. But in his eyes, what he saw was that tackling every opposition was another step towards accomplishing the dream. How you perceive your opposition can determine whether the outcome is in alignment with your goals. Notice how he guarded his mind and heart from all the negativity and in return it protected his perception of his ability to prevail. Your perception is your reality, and a child perceives that they can do all things.

Please, protect your child's heart by speaking positively around them, always encouraging them to dream and by always believing in them. The surest way to do this is by applying possitivity and living it out in your own life. It's never too late.

Please share your thoughts with me. I would love to hear your experiences and stories of how you've risen above opposition by looking through the eyes of a child.

 well, im still considered a child so i cant tell you any experiences with looking through anothers childs eyes. I understand what you're saying, but id like to add something.
First,
when you said that if you think failure, you're more likely to fail. well thats not always the case. i mean im always positive but alot of bad things happen to me. i TOTALLY understand your point and i agree, but i wouldnt live life on that thought. because life isnt fair (as ive been told a million times) and you cant just expect success, if thats what youre thinking.
Also,
The last part of what you said "protect your child's heart by speaking positively over them, always encouraging them to dream " i agree, but to a certain point.
If you encourage your kids, thats great, its boosts their confidence in themselves but the way i see it, is that it also adds alot of pressure to them. Especially when you keep encouraging them. that makes it a harder fall when they fail. the parent may say nice try, or good effort, or what ever but on the inside their killing themselves, not only because they let you down but also because you said that they could do it. and know they see that they couldn't, it makes it harder for them.
Thanks for listening!
but yeah, i totally agree with you, i just like to point out the other factors that could effect your point
:) keep rockin!!
