You see what you look for.

If you look for reasons you are wrong, you will find them. If you seek reasons why the world is beautiful, you will find them, too.

This comes to a head when you let undesirable thoughts inform what you look for. Your brain likes to confirm what it hears.

Choose carefully what you listen to. Guard your joy, your faith, your self, your soul.
