“There is no such thing as a faithless person. You either have faith in miracles, or you have faith in disasters.”
“Vision: the art of seeing things invisible.”
– Jonathan Swift
There are one of two reasons why we don’t see something – (1) our focus is not on it, or (2) something is keeping it hidden from our view / our eyes are shut. True vision takes place when we have complete perception of all things, when we are able to see everything at all angles, and there are no barriers that hide anything.
So the next time you’re frustrated or saddened about something not being in your life, think again – it IS actually there, just that you don’t see it right now. If it helps, go out and take a walk, clear your mind, focus your intention on what’s most important, and let the right situations arise for you. Then leave a comment here so that you can share with the rest of the Living Jain community how it worked out for you.
