Perspective determines how varied your view of reality will be from other observers.<\/p>\n<p>Based upon previous experience, two persons interpret the same thing differently.\u00a0They&#8217;ll \u00a0form different beliefs, preferences and entirely different perspectives. Those perspectives reflect different versions of reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emotions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emotions reveal how you&#8217;re looking at things by revealing your perspective. Your beliefs can be discerned through analysis of your emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Recognize emotions always reveal something of value is involved.\u00a0 First identify what that value is.<\/li>\n<li>Second, recognize your emotions reveal your perspective; whether you are seeing gain increase and appreciation of value, or seeing loss and depreciation in\u00a0regard to\u00a0that value.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Third, recognize that it is the belief you are focusing on that gives you your perspective.<\/li>\n<li>Next, consider what other beliefs, ideas or thoughts are true in regard to the situation.<\/li>\n<li>Consider you can choose to see your valued in the perspective of gain rather than loss by shifting the thought or belief focused upon.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize, if there are two thoughts you believe possible, you can choose to focus upon the one that feels best, and in fact, feel better.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize that\u00a0by\u00a0pivoting focus to your best feeling\u00a0belief, you CAN affect your experience of reality.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Recognize while focus may determine what is observed and therefore what is experienced, it is your intention going into the situation that determines the focus. Intend to focus on the best feeling thoughts you believe.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize intention is the choice that matters. Ask what should I intend in beginning any situation; What is my intention in beginning?<\/li>\n<li>Recognize the forming of intentions and staying focused will ultimately determine the experience realized.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I woke this morning from a night of dreaming I was angry.\u00a0 My dream showed me that I was angry. Upon reflection, I knew I was angry over the weekend, especially Sunday night as it came and went without my finishing something I had previously resolved to complete.<\/p>\n<p>I know I am angry about being away from home and working in a location 2000 miles away. I am angry that I am still here a year after\u00a0leaving home. I am angry that I am conflicted; wanting the job but wanting to be home.<\/p>\n<p>What can I learn from these dream experiences?\u00a0 From these realizations? What insights, resolves or directions can I set? What intenions can I develop\u00a0going forward that will improve my valued, improve my perspective, my beliefs, my experienced emotions and experience?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The forming of intentions and staying focused will ultimately determine the experience realized\u00a0&#8211; Believe it!\u00a0 Realize it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognize the forming of intentions and staying focused will ultimately determine the experience realized<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beliefs-form-reality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=219"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219\/revisions\/221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/believeit.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
