A lesson in perspective

The other night I was in downtown Los Angeles, relatively late in the evening, celebrating a friend’s birthday. For me L.A. always seems to have plenty of homeless people, at least in comparison to what I typically encounter in Orange County. I asked two homeless people, the same question, which was, “How would you describe the City of Angels?” The first man I asked told me that people are sneaky and dishonest and that it’s a miserable world. The second man I asked told me that the city was friendly and helpful. How could two people who were both homeless, wore the same ragged clothing and lived in the same city have such different perspectives on life? I believe this is just another lesson in perspective.

In my life, I have always recognized that I have always found what I am looking for. Meaning, that if I am looking for all the things that are wrong, I will search until I find things that are “wrong” with my life. On the flip side, I have also noticed that when I look for all the beauty and opportunity in this world, I find it. Our expectations are magnetic and whether on a conscious or unconscious level, what you expect, you fulfill.
