Life is defined by our chosen perspective

Life is full of twists and turns and bumps and hills.. Often when we discuss life we tend to gravitate towards those trying, tough, hard, and desperate times.. as we tell our story we talk of survival, perseverance, overcoming, and deliverance.. Why do you think we go there? Is it because we have more of this experiences than others? Could it be that the negatives have impacted us more? What if it’s based on what resonates with others? We all have struggled and we all have been in the valley and so we find agreement and camaraderie in the trials and battles. Dare I direct our hearts toward life’s other side.. ?

Recently, my Jess and our two younger children, Jasper, (17) and Jaycie (16) traveled to Hot Springs for a basketball game. We decided to leave early because we could go downtown and walk around to enjoy the beauty, history, and peacefulness that is special to us. While walking around enamored and excited about the cool, fall, evening we encountered two different street musicians .. one with a guitar and a vulgar quote taped to his mic stand and the other playing trumpet poorly while sitting on a bench. They were a mere few hundred feet apart.. I noticed that many who passed the guitar guy were reading the vulgar quote.. they would laugh or smile and give change or a few $1 bills.. then, just as many, would raise eyebrows at the poorly played trumpet guy and walk on by.. Did you notice what I didn’t comment on at all, so far? The guitar guy’s playing…! That because I never heard him play! He was just standing there… but because he made people laugh or smile he was receiving far more positive attention. The guy on the bench, attempting to play a trumpet was not connecting with hearts.. he was annoying ears. My family passed the guitarist and my kids nor wife even acknowledged his existence. I’m sure they saw him and read his quote, but they chose to avoid the trap. As we approached the trumpeter I saw facial expressions change and quickly force themselves expressionless as they walked by. Then we all stopped and Jess reached for her purse… I was feeling the same thing and so I reached out and took the money she had pulled from her wallet, I trotted back down to the trumpeter and dropped the cash in his trumpet case.. He paused mid song and said “Thank ya” I smiled and said “No, thank you!”

You see my kids and wife had chosen what to give their attention too.. they chose to invest in poorly done good rather than better done bad. Satan knows how to keep us connecting to bad. He presents it and we connect with it. God had given us plenty of positive, good, inspiring, life to talk about, focus on, and even glorify Him for.. but truly we can just choose to focus on what is best for our souls and minds. Even if the presentation isn’t as pretty as Satan’s deception!
