CHANGE THE LENS !!!

"It is not what you look at that matters,it is what you see."

-Henry David Thoreau

Let me tell you a story.

A young couple shifted to a new house in a swanky apartment and new neighbourhood. While sitting in their balcony and having tea,the woman saw her neighbour pegging out the washing . She said to her husband," That laundry's not very clean.I think she either needs a new washing machine or a new washing powder . Her husband remained silent.Her comment was exactly the same the next day and the next. But, on the fourth day,with a wide smile on her face," At last." she said,seeing the neatly arranged clothes line in her neighbour's balcony."All of a sudden she seems to have learned to clean properly." And her husband broke his silence and said,"  I got up early this morning and  cleaned our windows.

In a nutshell,this story is about us and the way we view the world.We all look at the world through a lens and are very quick to judge other people without even bothering to know what they have went or are going through. But what if cleaning our lens or changing our way of viewing the world is the solution? And in the long race it is seeing the world differently with the same pair of eyes that makes us stand out from the others and as it is popularly said," If you desire to make a difference to the world,you have to be different from the world." The way we view the world has a great influence on our character and the people we prefer to be friends with.

And it is perfectly true that people who are always happy in life are not the ones who always good things have happened with but the people who see good in everything. The world is full of people who seem to find negativity in every single thing and I swear, they do no good to themselves or others.So,the better way is being intelligent enough to stay away from such and appreciate little things as it is these small things and gestures that matter in life and the world has so much to be adorned.If you want to be different , you need to see as extraordinary the things that others see as normal.

Great personalities like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton are great because they had the talent to view the world differently and with their own point of view. All writers , singers and creative people have a point of view which is usually off the beaten track. The voices we hear daily, the people we see and the things we do can become extraordinary writing topics.And sometimes all you need is a different perspective at things !!!

So go out and try to view the world positively . Change your lens and see how your world changes !!!
