Your perspective determines what you see and how you interpret things.
For instance here’s a picture of my kitchen:
1. I’m a slob. I don’t clean up after myself. I let dirty dishes sit and sit in the sink.
But if I look at myself my kitchen from a different perspective, I see this:
2. Wa-la! From this slight change in perspective, I see that I keep a very clean kitchen.
If I choose to turn my back on my “dirty dishes”, and look forward this is what I see:
3. I love to set a nice table for myself even when I’m alone. I’m worth it.
My “kitchen” is all the things I showed you and more. I get to decide which aspect I’m going to focus on.
Where do you put your perspective? Are you seeing yourself as dirty dishes or a nice place setting?
I would love to get to know you! Join me on 
Thanks for the fresh look, Cherry. Right on! We can see and focus on what we want. I have too often made the choice to focus on the dirty dishes instead of the nice place setting. I think it’s more productive to focus on your good qualities and just clean up the “dirty dishes” and move on. Loved your analogy.
Thanks Pam. The analogy seemed easy, I’ve seen many photographs which have cropped out the “negative.” Cherry
