We Don't See Things The Way They Are. We See Things The Way We Are

We don't see things the way they are. We see things the way we are.

That line holds deep wisdom. It reminds us that perception isn’t pure—it’s filtered through our beliefs, past wounds, hopes, fears, and inner state.

Spiritual Insight Behind That Truth:

• Our mind is the lens; our soul is the light. What we’ve experienced shapes how we interpret the world. A fearful heart sees threat. A healed heart sees possibility.

• Two people can witness the same event and walk away with entirely different truths.

• That’s why inner work is so sacred—it clears the lens. When we heal, forgive, and grow, we begin to see more clearly, more compassionately, more truthfully.

• It’s not about “changing the world”—it’s about transforming the lens through which we see it.

A Gentle Affirmation:

“I open my heart to truth beyond my wounds. I choose to see with love, not fear. I choose to understand, not judge. I choose to grow, so I may see clearly.”
