Choose to see the world through optimistic eyes!
After starting my blog, I got very lucky to meet a lot of wonderful people from all around the world. We shared stories and ideas and got to know so much about each other and about the place we call home. I’ve found out so much about everything around me, and I can’t be happier about this.
Going through other blogger’s posts, I’ve found similar stories, opinions on trips, places, people and experiences. It seems like even if we all talk about the same person, event or location and the pictures are pretty much the same, the posts are always very very different.
At first I wondered why? It seems weird. Then I’ve realized we all see and feel the world in a different way.We see everything around us, and paint our entire life, just as we are inside.
When it comes to travel, it will always open your mind, if you keep it open. Some see something as simple as a sunset and it makes them smile and fill their hearts with joy. Meanwhile, for others, the same view is worthless and might not even get noticed. Most people I know travel only to have fun getting drunk and spending money, while others meet people, absolve different cultures and traditions and, most important, grow.
Some spend their entire life running after money, wasting it on nothing but meaningless things, finding joy only in what they can feed of. If it makes money, or if they can make it bring money, it gets registered. If not, it won’t make a difference to them. The way we experience our surroundings makes us pursue fortunes, destroy the environment, bring species to extinction, just so we can grow and spread our greed. Such people will never enjoy the simple things, events, places. If it’s not loud, expensive, fancy or cool, it’s not worth a second look, or a spot on the blog.
Some just can’t see past the ones mentioned above, and so, the same place or experience it’s very different from one person to the other. This got me to think about some people I know, who are always unhappy, cranky and mad at everything and everyone around them. How do they actually see the world I see? For sure it’s so different.
For me, the right way to travel is to open my mind and my heart, learn as much as I can, and meet as many people as possible. Once you open your eyes, you will see much more out there, then it’s noticeable at a first glance. This can never fail, but it will take you places!
The way we see ourselves is what makes us all unique. This is what makes our stories unique. No matter how many people you ask about a certain subject, the answer will always be different.
Who we are is how we see the world!
All Right Choices 
Very well written. It is always amazing to me how different people interpret the same event, all coloured by their own personality. I think the Rhino painting cartoon says it well 🙂

Thank you so much for reading and for the wonderful comment. I also believe it’s the best representation. We see everything just as we are, and this is a perfect example of how ugly some people are inside. Have a lovely week! x

Same here. Life is too short to not do what makes me happy. Not worth it 🙂

It gives me a chance to explore decisions that should have worked out in the real world but didn’t–now I can make the result what I thought it would be!

Great post ! it’s really import to stay away from harsh convictions and ideas so you can be more open to new ideas. If you can’t appreciate diversity you’re really missing out on a lot of the beauty that life has to offer.
