What Is Your Interpretation About Life

What do you think shape your interpretation about life, relationships, money, your personality or whatever else that exists around you? Have you ever questioned your beliefs when you were challenged or do you insist that you were right? Why do you think the person who disagreed with you have a different point of view?

This shows that everyone's mental conditioning, personal experiences, role models, upbringing, attitudes and convictions are responsible for his understandings about life and living and the meaning he attaches to each.

If you observe, you can see people react differently to the same situation. It depends on how they interpret or translate it. Arguments, quarrels and conflicts happen when people try to correct one other. Once a person has made a conviction, it's difficult, though not impossible, to change his perception.

Does it matter?

Yes, an example is when you agree that money is the root of all evil. This misunderstanding is the reason why you find it difficult to attract wealth into your life.

Ask yourself why you believe a thing as true? Who told you? Did you check the sources? Do you have enough facts or evidence?

Limited knowledge results in limited thinking and narrow mindedness. Open your mind and expand your knowledge. Read books, travel, meet people from different cultures and observe people and nature.

The stuff going on in your head determines what you experience on the outside. Explore your mind and find out what kind of pictures, images, voices and memories are there? You can replace those thoughts by replacing them with new ideas and instructions.

Looking at the same thing won't help. Otherwise you would have improved. Look at things from a different angle. Ask yourself the "what if" question.
