What a great example of different perceptions! Men and women are different in how they view their duties anyhow. I can see how she would see your situation in such a way. Women in general are overworked and overwhelmed and in that position speaking on the phone, pushing a cart and chasing a 2 year old is definitely stressful. Her husband or partner is probably complaining when he has to do what you called fun. I know my husband often feels his efforts are not appreciated, especially when it comes to kids. I only look at it as, when you are out of vortex everything is hard. For you seem to be in the vortext and having fun in your life. Way to go! “Life is supposed to be fun and when it’s not something is screwy” -Abraham

The practical advice, “Be aware of the things you’re saying about yourself and others. Make sure they’re the phrases that are attraction what you want and not what you don’t want,” is true in getting business success as well.

I have many clients who I “retrain” what they say to help them be more successful.

It’s true that one’s perception of a situation dictates how they FEEL about the situation. And one’s belief system dicates their perception. If someone feels that people are always trying to pull one over on them, then it’s likely that they are trying to do the same. Since it is their mindset, they are always looking for indicators in other people.
One day I was having a rough morning at work and I went to run some errands an thought “I’m just going to look for beauty in my surroundings for a little bit”. So I started noticing the trees and flowers by the street and starting seeing things in that area I never knew existed even though I’m there every day. In no time I had changed my day completely.

Interesting post my friend. It's amazing on how one thing can be perceived different ways. But I have a saying that goes: "Happiness is only One Thought Away", meaning that happiness may be a feeling, but it starts with the initial thought of being happy. You were happy to be in that situation, why? Your thinking that's way. You didn't see it as suffering, so it wasn't suffering. When people begin to realize that "Happiness is only One Thought Away", they can begin to take control of those thoughts, feeling, emotions, and reap the results (TFAR) they desire. I want to share for the readers here this Article. I also just read another Article that I thought was mind blowing!! Hope you enjoy them! Ed

This is a great reminder. We really have to catch ourselves in how we think and what comes out of our mouths!
