There are times when we are not happy with how things are. We long for a change, but we don’t know where to start from.
Maybe you don’t like your job, and resent dragging yourself to the office every morning. Maybe you don’t like the way you look, or your current life situation. Perhaps, someone around you is irritating and unfriendly, making your day miserable.
How we perceive things, dictates our mood, and our mood is the gateway to new situations to be perceived. We all have to deal with unpleasant situations at times, but how to come out of it? Where is the breaking point?
I find that the best cure, and the fastest way to come out of an unhappy mood, is to start seeing perfection in all things. Starting from your own very self, then expanding your view to the world around you.
This is something that takes only a few minutes to achieve, and can easily be done during a lunch break, while sitting on the bus, anywhere.
Because our body is the most tangible thing, let’s start from there. Any change we see, will give immediate results, and the inspiration to move to a higher vibrational level.
Take a mirror, and start smiling. Even if you have nothing to smile about, fake it. Smile to yourself, and look at yourself in the eyes. If you are on the street, move the corner of your lips upward, and smile.
The brain doesn’t know the difference between a real and a fake smile, and will immediately release endorphins. You will feel better right away, and your facial muscles will be grateful, because smiling is so much easier on the body than that grin of disgust, or that bitter frown.
Now that you have released some tension, close your eyes for a moment, and imagine yourself being showered by a golden, warm light of Love. You are surrounded by this light, like a cocoon. Know that you are loved.
From that place of pure, infinite love, start seeing perfection in all things. Your present moment is perfect as it is, because it’s the launching pad to where you want to go. You are perfect as you are, because there is divine essence within you. Everything around you is perfect, because there is innate goodness in all things and people. People and things will respond to your view of them.
In a previous post about gratitude and appreciation, we’ve seen how appreciation increases the value of what surrounds you. The eyes of perfection generate pure love. This is the state of being of babies and small children, they see the world though the eyes of perfection and awe. You were like that when you were born, you know how to do it.
Next time you interact with someone, just think for a moment “You are a perfect being”, before talking to them. Do it with people you know, and do it with strangers, like the clerk at the grocery store, or the bus driver.
Your words and attitude will be warm and kind, because you cannot vibrationally be negative, when you see perfection. The other person will respond energetically to this, because your eyes, the very mirror to your soul, will speak the unspoken words of love.
Instantly, your entire world has shifted. From this perfect moment, you can now move forward and create the life you have always wanted.
Things to remember:
1 – Start smiling.
2 – Fake it in front of a mirror, until your mood shifts.
3 – Feel surrounded by a warm, golden light of Love.
4 – The present moment, is the perfect moment to start anew.
5 – See perfection in all things and people around you.
6 – Share your golden light of Love with everyone and everything.
7 – Enjoy your bliss!





















It’s so true when you said, “Fake it in front of a mirror.” As they say, Fake it till you make it
It works!
<3 There is perfection in imperfection, and the challenge is seeing it.
@Megan – Beautiful, and absolutely right!
I have three things that I use to lift my spirits:
1) Walking outside.
2) Music, especially harp and lute.
3) Bright colors. I hang prisms in the windows so they throw rainbows around the house.
