On lap 29, something occurred to me ... how one sees the world is going to be determined (for the most part) by what they are looking for...
Example...
I have had a feeling all week that something 'big' was going to happen. Something positive and good. The result of this everything that happens, I evaluate it to see where it fits into that feeling.
I look at the people around me with a different template... where could THAT person or THIS person fit into this 'feeling' ... each task or assignment at work becomes an 'opportunity' instead of a chore.
That 'feeling' becomes a self-fullfilling prophecy... I am perceiving the world around me in a positive way because I am looking for the positive in everything I perceive...

Perception is everything. This is something that I try desperetly to show my loved ones because I believe it is the KEY to being content. You've stated why very well.
Thank you...
One additional thing I noticed now that I am looking for it... I think people have to WANT to see things in a positive way... I have seen a lot of people lately through new eyes... and I see a lot of people who WANT to see the world as if it were a negative place...
Now I just need to figure out the why...
ff - I understand what you are saying, but I think the 'lessor expectations' is still a passive situation.
I am talking more about the people who actively look for negative ways to go through life. It is almost as if they are somehow trying to validate something... almost as if they get some pleasure out of something being 'bad'... they 'get off' on the pain and negativity...
