Wilt

Wilt, originally uploaded by Uncommon Depth.

I've often said life is all about attitude. Your reality is unique to you because you create it yourself through how you perceive the world. Winston Churchill said: "You create your own universe as you go along".

In one of my artists statements I wrote: "Where one person sees a landscape of great beauty and abundant natural resources, another might see a prison of bogs and bush. When one person describes where they live they paint a picture of paradise, but that same location can be painted as a bleak ‘no man’s land’ by the other person. Their visions of reality will be completely different, as will their dreams for the future."

Life is all about attitude and thoughts. Think you can't and you certainly can't. Think you can and you will. If you think the universe is out to piss you off, it will. If you think you are lucky good fortune will rain down on you. (And I certainly know how lucky I am!)

I've presented some negative thoughts about the world in the blog recently, and it's not about believing the whole world is going to hell. It's about believing that if the wrongs are understood; and if enough people can see what's broken, an effort will be made to make it right again. It's about believing in the power to overcome the adversities that we see in our own universes.
