How Wide Open Are Your Eyes?

People are guilty of ruling their lives with their emotions. They are used to using their eyes to see what they want to see and not what really is there to see.

Here are some little tests you can do. Squint your eyes so that you are barely seeing what is straight ahead. This is a great example of how we look at most situations especially when our hearts are involved. We can see a little but our mind fills in all the blanks and makes the picture look like what their hearts want it to look like. Now, stare at something for a while....do your eyes start watering? This is what we do when things aren't the way they should be and we think if we can analyze it to death, we can somehow justify why it doesn't look the way it should look. Now close your eyes tightly. This is the only way you can form a picture based on the actuals. You see, you can't make something be something if it isn't something to begin with.

So instead of wasting your time on what might be, what might develop, what you think it should be, or by what you wish so much it to be...take a good look inside and be true to the facts.

If it isn't a good job and you are miserable, change! If you are in a relationship that is pretty much one sided...leave. If you are hoping that someone will commit and be an adult but yet they are getting older and older and haven't grown up yet....you better run fast. If someone has cheated on you before and is still cheating on you, get out and find someone who will love and appreciate you for always. If friends have betrayed you before....then you need to find new friends....

IF YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE, YOU WILL ALWAYS GET THE SAME RESULTS........ change the pattern and not only respect yourself but...SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE! Open your eyes wide. It is all right there for you to see!
