What you focus on, is what you will always see.

If you think someone is being stupid, you are going to notice all the stupid things they do. (and none of the smart things they do). If you think someone is annoying, you are going to see all the annoying things they do. If you think someone is mad, you are going to notice all the potential signs that might reinforce your belief that they are mad. If you think someone is being silly, you are going to notice all the silly things they do. If you think someone is beautiful, you are going to notice all the beautiful things they do. It’s up to you what you focus on. (and what to deem trivial). And it probably sucks being on the receiving end wondering why all of a sudden someone thinks you’re annoying when you’ve acted the same way on other days and they thought you were beautiful.

If you think the world is out to get you, then you will find ‘evidence’ that might reinforce that. If you think you hate something, then you are going to see all the ways in which it is bad. Take mayo for example. If you think you hate mayo, then you think you will hate a tuna salad sandwich. Until someday someone has to blind you by telling you there is no mayo in something to get you to try it. Turns out, you like it; they’ve opened your eyes. But the problem is, your eyes were closed to begin with. You closed your eyes. Or, on the other hand, if you think something, or some place, is the best thing, nothing compares. Then you are going to think every other thing, or place, is unbearable. You have to open your eyes.

Life is what you make it.
