“The most important decision we make is whether we believe in a friendly or hostile universe.” Albert Einstein
We choose the world we live in. And our decision will echo through our lives, perpetuating itself over and over without the conscious even being aware of it. The first step – awareness.
Let’s first recognize that we, by default, tend to gravitate towards “hostility.” This may sound strange at first, but when we think about it we are defensive creatures. And that a very active “fight or flight” mechanism lives with us. Our default interpretation can be to see things as “threats”. It can be very challenging to trust.
Not all of that is a bad thing. But magnify it, and imagine as if that is the universe we believe it to be – pure hostility. It’s a pair of red glasses we’ve placed over our eyes that we view the world. And despite holding the greenest of flowers in our hand: all we see is a red flower.
It starts with awareness of where we currently are. Brutally honest self-reflection. It then turns into a choice: a choice of lens that we will view the world in. Change our perception, and we change the world.
