Most of what we experience in life is not determined by circumstances alone—but by the perspective we choose to adopt. Our Mental Schema, which filters how we interpret the world, is deeply rooted in our past experiences. But just because it’s familiar doesn’t mean it’s accurate. To truly engage with the present, we must actively question those inherited patterns of thought and belief.
Think about it: every aspect of our daily life—work, routines, responsibilities, even small interactions—can be seen through vastly different lenses. You might wake up early, groaning at the darkness outside and the tasks ahead. Or, you might pause and feel deep gratitude for being healthy, capable, employed, and safe. You might remind yourself that you have options. You are not stuck—you have agency and the power to choose how you will move forward.
Mindset determines the quality of your experience far more than the external world ever could. When you change your mindset, you change your life.
I urge you to examine your mental schema and build a perspective that empowers you—one that brings more clarity, peace, and productivity!
