As your interpretations change, the world you live in changes

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to gain a sense of self.

The phrase "it can't be helped" (shoganai).
When do you use it?

Hashi-san's article
explains the meaning of "it can't be helped," so
please be sure to read it.

You cannot change the facts,
but you can change your interpretation in an instant.

For example, when you make a huge mistake.

"What a useless person I am..."
"This is the worst..."
"What should I do..."

You end up thinking like that, don't you?

The fact that "I made a huge mistake"
cannot be changed no matter what,
so if you keep looking at the event from the same position,
the same thoughts will keep coming up.

But if your position changes a little,
you will see a different view.

Look, Mount Fuji looks different
when seen from the Shizuoka side versus the Yamanashi side, right?

In the same way,
if your perspective changes, your interpretation will change too.

Even if it is a huge failure to you,
to someone else,
"Isn't that an opportunity?"
is what they might think.

Post-it notes and masking tape were also
born from the huge failure of something that was supposed to stick not sticking.

Even champagne
started when wine was bottled and left alone,
only to become full of bubbles due to carbon dioxide.

With just a slight difference in interpretation,
a completely different world unfolds.

We tend to get swayed by the events right in front of us,
but it is not determined by the events themselves.

If you look back on the past,
it should have been that way.

The reason past unpleasant events
changed as time passed
is because your interpretation and the meaning you assigned to them changed.

It is because as your position changed,
what you noticed changed.

How does your heart feel?That is what
determines it.

You might feel down right after a major failure, but
try putting yourself in someone else's shoes
or try looking at it from a different timeframe.

A major failure might just be a major transformation.

Because as your interpretation and the meaning you assign to events change,
the world you live in changes too.

Thank you
for reading until the end.
