It's the way you look at life

I have just updated my Facebook status to 'What we see is what we are'. Not that I want people to comment or 'like' or 'unlike'..but because I remember it asking (in the old version 'what's on your mind'). And this line, honestly has been on my mind ever since I met this wonderful lady who told me that our life is nothing but a collection of reaction of our paradigms.

Now, what's a paradaigm? It is the way we look at the world based on the conditioning, beliefs created in us. To me, this was a life-redefining moment. This basically meant:

1. Everybody is right from their perspective. (This will make me think twice before I start or stretch an argument)

2. What we see is what we are. (This defines our life..perspective..thoughts)

3. When we open our mouth to describe the world, we are not describing the world, we describe ourselves. (Something to ponder about before bad mouthing anyone/any situation)

4. Language has a tremendous impact on creating paradigms. (specially true with children..parents are the first source of paradigms that deifne their lives. So, the way talk, behave infront of them..matters.)
