Things are not as they are, they are as you perceive them to be.

That relationship. That boss. That mistake. That opportunity.

They’re not automatically broken, frustrating, negative, a failure, risky, or too big. They become those things because of the label you put on them. And you label them that way because of the way you see them.

Yet, someone else could see the exact same situation differently, and get completely different results. Because of how they labeled the situation, person, idea.

How you see something shapes how you approach it. The label you give it drives your attitude, your effort, your expectations, your experience, and your outcomes.

The good news? A label isn’t permanent. If the way you’re seeing something isn’t helping you, you can change it. You can choose a better perspective. One that fuels hope instead of fear, peace instead of doubt.

Change your label, and you change your actions.
Change your actions, and you change your results.

Feel free to change your mind today.
