This document discusses different perspectives on how people view the world. It notes that one's view depends on factors like the society and government they live under as well as the economy. While some see the world as dangerous, deceitful, or filled with necessary evil, others see happiness and optimism even in difficult situations. The document encourages readers to try changing their perspective by looking for opportunities rather than problems and imagining people's needs, skills, or favorite dishes to find the accommodating aspects of the world. It suggests taking time to consider one's goals and the type of people who can help achieve them.

1. What Do You See?

2. There's a lot of ways to see the world.

3. Some people see the world as a
dangerous place, filled with deceit and
treachery.

4. Other people see the world filled with
happiness and puppy dogs.

5. Still others see the world filled with
necessary evil to get what they need
to survive.

6. To be sure, it all depends on what
society you live in, what the
government is like and what the
economy is like.

7. There have been plenty of horrific
regimes that made it impossible to see
the world as anything other than pain
and suffering.

8. On the other hand, even in the worst
situations, like in Nazi concentration
camps, people managed to look on the
bright side of life.

9. To be sure, not all of us have super
human levels of optimism.

10. But we CAN change our filters, and see
the world in different ways.

11. Next time you're out in public, try a
few filters on, just to see what it's like.

12. Like maybe see everybody as a
potential customer of some sort.
Imagine you had a magic box that
could produce any product, and start
to wonder what everybody wants or
needs.

13. Or see everybody as having some kind
of specialized skill. Imagine you are a
world class "fixer" and you are always
on the lookout for new team
members. Try and guess what
everybody's secret skill is as they walk
by.

14. Or imagine you are a world class chef
and you have a magic kitchen. Try and
guess what everybody's favorite dish
is.

15. Or imagine that you are a world class
grief counselor. As you see people
walking by, imagine what each
individuals biggest memory or source
of emotional pain is.

16. The truth is, that to a large extent, the
world is VERY accommodating. If you
look for problems, you'll find them. If
you look for opportunities, you'll find
them too.

17. If you look for dream lovers, you'll find
them. If you look for people that will
hurt you, unfortunately you'll find
them too.

18. Take some time to think about what
you want. And the kind of people that
will help you get it.

19. Then get out there, and look for them.
Find them. And get what you want.

20. How do you do that?
